Market Overview:
The global switch fabric market is expected to grow at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for data center infrastructure and rising need for high-speed networking. Switch fabrics are used in various applications such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), security, government, education, healthcare, and retail. Among these applications, BFSI is expected to account for the largest share of the global switch fabric market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for data center infrastructure by banks and other financial institutions worldwide. North America is expected to account for the largest share of the global switch fabric market duringthe forecast period followed by Europeand Asia Pacific.

Product Definition:
A switch fabric is a collection of switches that work together to move packets between devices. The switch fabric is important because it helps to ensure that packets are delivered quickly and efficiently.
Hardware:
Hardware is the part of networking equipment which includes routers, switches, modems and other communication devices. Hardware has been witnessing rapid growth in recent years owing to increasing demand for high-speed data transfer and storage facilities.
Software:
Software is the set of instructions, which controls and monitors the operation of a computer program. It consists of programs that are designed to allow users to carry out tasks more efficiently. In today's world, software has become an important part for every industry including telecommunication and IT services.
Application Insights:
The banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) segment dominated the global switch fabric market in 2017. The BFSI sector is one of the largest end-users of cloud infrastructure owing to its criticality to store data and maintain operational efficiency. As a result, this industry has been focusing on reducing costs by adopting innovative technologies such as cloud infrastructure.
The education segment is anticipated to register a significant CAGR over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for high-speed internet connectivity from schools and colleges across various regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America etc. Furthermore, growing penetration of e-learning applications has also created potential growth opportunities for switch fabrics in this sector over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for data communication services in countries such as China and India. Additionally, rising penetration of smartphones and internet usage in this region is anticipated to fuel the demand for cloud services, which will drive software switches market growth over the next eight years.
The Asia Pacific regional market accounted for a revenue share of more than 30% in 2016 owing to high internet penetration rates coupled with growing smartphone adoption across this region. Europe also held a significant share due to early technology adoption by several large enterprises based out of Western European countries such as U.K., Germany, and France; hence resulting higher sales volumes of global switch fabrics across this region compared with other regions since 2015 or 2016 timeframe (please see Figure 1).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for data center and cloud services
- Growing number of data centers worldwide
- Proliferation of high-bandwidth applications and traffic
- Emergence of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV)
- Rapid adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet
