TechNavio today launched its report, Global 40G and 100G Line-cards Market 2011-2015, based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Networking team said: ”Over the past few years, the demand for 40G and 100G line-cards has been increasing significantly. However, 100G line-cards accounted for a very low percent of the entire sales volume of the Global 40G and 100G Line-cards market in 2011, because they are much more expensive than 40G line-cards. Despite this, the sales of 100G line-cards are expected to overshadow those of 40G line-cards in the coming years. This is because the prices of 100G line-cards are expected to decline by 2013. Indeed, by the end of 2015, the revenue contribution of 100G line-cards is expected to increase significantly.”
According to the report, the most important factor driving the adoption of 40G and 100G line-cards is the growing need for bandwidth to support data-intensive applications such as online gaming, IPVOD, and videophone services. Further, the penetration of smartphones and tablets has increased significantly, leading to increased demand for high-speed internet. The applications that are frequently used in these devices require high bandwidth to offer a rich experience to end-users. Therefore, 40G and 100G line-cards, which offer high bandwidth, are increasingly being adopted by enterprises and service providers.
Further, the report reveals that the significant investment required to set up the high-end network architecture required to support 40G and 100G line-cards is hindering the growth of this market.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
