Worldwide LAN Switch and Router 4Q03 Vendor Analysis: LAN Switches Flat, Routers Up SlightlyProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: IDC Published: March 2004 Product Code: R104-14905 Description There is no clear upward trend in sales of network equipment. 4Q03 LAN switch
revenue was slightly up from the same period in 2002. Routers were up a mere
1.7% from a year earlier. While the router market did improve from the third to
fourth quarter, rising by 6.8%, this positive move was only met with a 0.8%
uptick in LAN switching.
"For LAN switching, we expect 2004 to be a year of low single-digit revenue
growth. Port growth will certainly continue in the double digits. Vendor
partnerships and repositionings from 2003 should help drive some business this
year, and we expect segments such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Power over
Ethernet to ramp up significantly, as well." ? Maximillian Flisi, IDC research
