Market Trends of Ethernet Controller Industry
Servers to Hold the Largest Market Share
- Most businesses require data storage, whether for their email, website, or online transactions, and this may be done on a server. Servers are specialized computers linked to a company's local network and, in most cases, the Internet. If a company is small enough, it may keep its servers in-house and run them independently. However, as organizations and their demands expand, more servers and storage space are required as more data is generated. A typical data center infrastructure includes many servers, which are powerful computers.
- As servers power data centers and support cloud environments, the server industry is the backbone of innumerable mission-critical and client-side corporate computing operations. As businesses seek to power big data and advanced workload requirements, demand for higher-performing servers continues to climb. With the increasing cloud computation, AI, big data, and data centers, the need for servers will also grow significantly. With this growing demand for servers, Ethernet controllers will also increase.
- A baseboard management controller (BMC) monitors most modern servers' temperature, voltages, and fans. When something in the system requires an administrator's attention (such as the CPU overheating), the BMC may generally be set to send out notifications (in the form of emails and SNMP alerts).
- Application device queues (ADQ), dynamic device personalization (DDP), and support for both iWARP and RoCEv2 Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) are included in Intel Ethernet 800 Series controllers. It provides workload-optimized performance and the flexibility to meet changing network requirements. For high-performance server applications, including NFV, storage, HPC-AI, and hybrid cloud, the 800 Series controllers provide speeds up to 100GbE.
- Further, the NetXtreme-E Series BCM57414 50G PCIe 3.0 Ethernet controller is based on Broadcom's scalable 10/25/50/100/200G Ethernet controller architecture. This architecture is designed to build highly scalable, feature-rich networking solutions in servers for enterprise and cloud-scale networking and storage applications, such as high-performance computing, telco, machine learning, storage disaggregation, and data analytics.
- According to Ericsson, the data traffic is expected to triple by 2030. In 2023, smartphones across the globe used an average of 20.37 gigabytes of mobile data per month, up from 15.93 gigabytes the previous year. This figure is expected to reach 25.17 gigabytes in 2024 and 47.27 gigabytes by 2028. Thus, the distributed cloud that can secure the low latency and high bandwidth required to connect such scale easily is coming into action. Several technology giants are addressing the critical challenges while managing their servers and computational needs. A major factor responsible for the rising densities is the rapid rise of data-crunching for AI.

North America Holds Largest Market Share
- 5G requires a flexible networking and transportation infrastructure to reach its full potential. As Ethernet becomes the most efficient transport technology, carrier routers and switches are being charged with supporting a range of use cases over shared infrastructure, increasing Ethernet gear installations.
- According to Ericsson, 5G subscriptions are predicted to increase drastically in North America from 2019 to 2028, from over 1.07 million to over 405.4 million. With such massive growth in the 5G industry in the United States, the market will also see demand for Ethernet controllers.
- As an Ethernet controller allows wired connections to a computer network, any device requiring a high-speed internet connection has to use Ethernet controllers for fast internet connections. Such is the case with cloud infrastructure networks. With developing cloud capabilities and enterprises shifting their work to the cloud, the demand for cloud applications is increasing rapidly in the United States.
- Due to low costs, less maintenance, data security, and almost unlimited scalability, more businesses will opt for cloud storage solutions in the coming years. Therefore, this rise in cloud computing and storage will also surge in the ethernet controller market.
- The Communications Research Centre (CRC), Canada's leading advanced telecommunications research center, is dedicated to bringing 5G technology to Canadians to ensure they can use state-of-the-art telecommunications systems, technologies, and applications. According to GSMA, by 2030, 5G connections are predicted to account for 95% of all mobile connections in Canada.
