Campbell, CALIFORNIA, August 25, 2010—Market research firm Infonetics Research (www.twitter.com/infonetics) released its second quarter 2010 (2Q10) Service Provider Routers and Switches market share and forecast report.
ANALYST NOTE
“IP core and edge router revenue in North America was the hero of the second quarter, up 15% sequentially and up 39% from this time last year, as operators put spending back on priority to handle more traffic, especially video over broadband and data and photos over mobile networks. Europe is in a holding pattern, struggling to pull out of the downturn, and is roughly 2 to 3 quarters behind North America. Although EMEA router spending was flat sequentially, it was up a nice 13% year-over-year. Asia Pacific showed a solid 10% sequential increase in router revenue, but is still behind the Chinese-stimulated 2009 pace,” reports Michael Howard, co-founder and principal analyst for carrier and data center networks at Infonetics Research.
SERVICE PROVIDER ROUTERS AND SWITCHES MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
- Between the first to second quarters of 2010, combined worldwide revenue from service provider IP edge routers, IP core routers, carrier Ethernet switches, and multiservice ATM switches increased 5%, to $3.1 billion
- Year-over-year (2Q09 vs. 2Q10), the overall market is up 11%, despite a 54% drop in ATM switch revenue spurred by the conversion to Ethernet
- The carrier router and switch market is expected to reach its 2008 pre-recession levels in 2011
- Revenues of the top 7 carrier router vendors -- Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Fujitsu, Huawei, Juniper, Tellabs, and ZTE -- are up in the double-digit percents year-over-year, from 2Q09 to 2Q10
