According to a research report published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, The Global Power Over Ethernet Switch Market Size was worth around USD 2.43 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to grow to around USD 7.01 Billion by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.11% from 2025 and 2035. The market for power over ethernet switch has a number of opportunities to grow because of the increasing number of Internet of Things devices. PoE switches offer effective power and data transport solutions. Additionally, there is a growing need for PoE switches that simplify installs and lower infrastructure costs due to the growing use of smart building technologies like security and intelligent lighting.   

Market Overview

A network device called a power over ethernet switch integrates electrical power and data transmission into a single Ethernet cable connection. The global hyperscale capacity doubles every four years, reaching 1,000 active locations, with a further 120–130 facilities added annually. 51% of that footprint is in the US alone, and 60% of installed racks are owned by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Every new campus has tens of thousands of top of rack and spine leaf switches installed, which directly adds to the increased demand for Ethernet switches in the market. High speed Ethernet port shipments are expected to surpass previous upgrade cycles by 2028, compounding at a rate of 50% every year. Hyperscalers are rapidly moving from 400 Gbit/s to 800 Gbit/s fabrics by 2025, the majority of AI clusters are anticipated to employ 800 Gbit/s switch uplinks. Businesses like 25 Gbit/s as an incremental step up from 10 Gbit/s because it reuses existing copper or OM3 fiber infrastructure while delivering 2.5 times throughput at a slight premium. Deterministic congestion control and link level telemetry will be codified through standards development inside the Ultra Ethernet Consortium to guarantee that these speeds scale consistently.

The General Services Administration in the United States has made it mandatory for all new federal buildings to use smart building technologies by 2025. These include security systems, HVAC control, and intelligent lighting, all of which can profit from PoE infrastructure. PoE solution demand in federal construction projects is mostly driven by this policy. In July 2023, Allied Telesis, Inc. launched the IE220 Series of industrial grade switches ruggedized for enduring performance in harsh environments, such as those found in OT networks and outdoor installations.
