Nov, 2001 : Router and Switch Market Hits $1.97 Billion in 3Q01
📅 - Worldwide revenues for service provider core and edge routers and switches totaled $1.97 billion in 3Q01, down 3% from 2Q01, according to Infonetics Research's (infonetics.com) quarterly worldwide market share and forecast service, Service Provider Core and Edge Hardware, released yesterday.
Despite a few quarters of negative growth, the combined service providerrouter and switch market is forecasted to reach $18.9 billion in CY2004.
Most router and switch markets declined in 3Q01 because service providersare reducing their capital expenditures and shifting from long haulinvestments to metro investments as they focus more on their immediate needsand less on long-range planning. "The edge router market was one of the fewgrowing markets in 3Q01," said Infonetics Research analyst Kevin Mitchell."That market grew 19% from 2Q01 and remains a focus of investment forservice providers. Service providers are adding network-based services tothe edge to address their revenue and profitability woes, and to do so theyneed to invest in edge routers."
"We are not done seeing negative quarters. However, I don't think the routerand switch market will get as gloomy as some originally projected. The AsiaPacific region was a hot spot for growth; most product categories showedincreased revenues in 3Q01."
Service Provider Core and Edge Hardware forecasts the market for IP corerouters, ATM core switches, edge/aggregation routers, ATM edge switches, IPservices routers (with and without IPSec hardware), DSLAMs (CO, MTU, and DLCline cards), cable modem access concentrators, and fixed broadband wirelessbase stations.
