Incline Village, Nevada – Aug 30, 2023 – A newly released report by 650 Group, a leading Market Intelligence Research firm for communications, campus networking, and cloud markets, indicates that the Enterprise/Campus Ethernet Switch Market grew over 50% Y/Y in 2Q’23. The report also revealed significant regional differences in vendor performance with many records set.
Highlights for the quarter include:
- Combined vendor shift to multi-gigabit platforms drove up ASPs and is a crucial driver to future revenue performance in the market in 2H’23 and for 2024
- Nearly 2,000 switches shipped every hour in 2Q23 into the enterprise, achieving a new record
- Vendors continue to burn off backlog at different rates
- Vendors begin to rely on renewal and subscription contracts as their backlog diminishes

“The campus/enterprise Ethernet switch market hit record levels in 2Q’23 within the enterprise segment as most vendors had their best quarter ever,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. “Second Half 2023 results will depend on the ability for vendors to charge for additional features and functionality, such as multigigabit and increased subscription offerings.”
