Description
This IDC Study looks at some of the recent developments of the LAN switch market as well as the market trends going forward for Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan). It provides an in-depth overview of forecasts for the years 2002 to 2007, as well as the analysis for the various form factors of LAN switching equipment. 2003 saw the breakthrough of Layer 3/> switching, where for the first time, Layer 3 /> has overtaken Layer 2 in the history of the LAN switch market in this region. This market saw a significant growth of 26% to reach a total market size of US$1.13 billion. "The major factor contributing to the decline of Layer 2 switching is the rapid price per port plunge as this equipment is quickly being commoditized. Moreover, competition from mid to lower end vendors like D-Link has forced players to reduce their pricing to remain competitive in the market," said Jian Sern Loo, Enterprise Networks Analyst. "Although dwarfed by the Fast Ethernet market, Gigabit Ethernet was the star performer, surging 26.9% from the previous year to record a total market size of US$526.1 million. The primary cause of this was the fact that buyers are migrating more rapidly than expected to Gigabit Ethernet."
