Description

This report examines all segments of the LAN switching market (layers 2,3,4-7) as well as trends in Gigabit. Five-year forecasts, market shares, and technology trends are included for all segments, as well as key market drivers and competitive analysis.

The worldwide LAN switching market increased from 137,163,000 ports shipped in 2001 to 154,760,000 ports shipped in 2002, an increase of 12.8%. Despite this, revenues decreased from $14.9 billion to $12.4 billion, due to falling port prices. Gigabit Ethernet ports increased from 5,252,000 to 7,533,000 from 2001 to 2002, respectively. One of the major drivers of gigabit Ethernet was sales, and reasons for overall falling revenue was the drop in average price per gigabit port from $802 to $584 from 2001 to 2002. Even with the falling prices, gigabit Ethernet accounted for only 5% of total switch ports sold.
