Dell'Oro Group Reports Strong Rebound in Ethernet Switch Market; Price Declines Fuel Record Shipments
Posted on: Thursday, 18 August 2005, 12:00 CDT
A recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that revenues in the Ethernet Switch market rebounded from two consecutive quarters of decline, growing eight percent in the second quarter of 2005 to reach $3.5 billion. Demand was very elastic, with port shipments surpassing previous quarterly highs in the wake of renewed price decreases. The report also indicates that prior to this quarter's decline overall market prices had been abnormally stable for the past year.
"The spate of new product introductions resulted in increased competition, which helped drive prices down. These price declines combined with a robust IT spending environment resulted in very strong port shipment growth," said Seamus Crehan, Director of Ethernet Switch Research at Dell'Oro Group. "Price reductions were stronger at the high-end of the market, where modular per-port average selling prices fell six percent during the quarter."
