Description

This IDC study examines the U.S. market for LAN switches by vertical industry. Competition within the LAN switch market has increased pricing pressure and eroded profitability. Vendors and service providers competing in this market are challenged to identify vertical market opportunities and cultivate best practices to address industry-specific demands. In this study, IDC analyzes each of the 16 vertical markets, providing market size and growth over the five-year forecast period, a discussion of current trends, and an indication of which trends will drive LAN switch adoption in the future.

"The LAN switch market opportunity by vertical industry is dependent on both the quantity of spending and the rate of growth. The communications/media and government industries are the largest consumers of LAN switches, but sheer size is not indicative of the entire opportunity. The rate at which that market will grow over the forecast period implies the potential rate of return on market investment. IDC anticipates that some of the highest levels of growth will be found within transportation and insurance." ? Dan Corsetti, IDC senior analyst, Vertical Markets
