IIoT enables the connection and exchange of data between various industrial devices and systems, leading to increased efficiency, productivity, and predictive maintenance. Lastly, Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology is becoming increasingly popular in industrial networking. PoE allows power and data to be transmitted over the same Ethernet cable, reducing the need for separate power sources and simplifying installation and maintenance. These factors are collectively contributing to the growth of the Market.
The market covers the revenue generated from the sales of switches, gateways, routers, and cables of Industrial Ethernet and Fieldbus communication networks. The report also considers the revenue generated through the sales of communication network solutions such as Profibus, Modbus, DeviceNet, ASI, SERCOS Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, POWERLINK, Sercos III, and CC-Link IE in the industrial sector. It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. Furthermore, the report includes historic market data from 2018 to 2022.

The market is undergoing significant transformation, driven by innovations in IoT development and 5G integration. Hewlett Packard and Fortinet are leading efforts in network slicing and AI-powered solutions, which are critical for optimization and real-time process monitoring. The market landscape depends on the Software Defined, Private 5G adoption. The emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies is also enhancing the disruptive ecosystem, providing advanced tools for robotics and collaborations. In the pursuit of sustainable networking, the market is seeing increased investment in patents and TAM expansion. Wireless communication and WLAN are complementing wireline networks, ensuring robust connectivity and resource utilisation. As industries adopt these technologies, the Market is poised for robust growth, driven by a combination of cutting-edge innovations and strategic collaborations.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increasing adoption of IIoT. Connected devices in Industrial Ethernet, including the I/O drives, sensors, and other allied components that exist at the lower end of the automation hierarchy, play a major role in the development of connectivity-enabled business strategies in the future. In addition, the advent of Industry 4.0 and the ongoing implementation of IIoT, both of which demand a continuous interconnection from the smallest sensor up to the enterprise-level system and beyond, have made the use of Industrial Ethernet the de-facto choice in end-user industries.
Moreover, the implementation of IIoT in an industrial plant enables physical devices that are embedded with sensors, software, and hardware to collect, analyze, and exchange data without the need for human intervention. Furthermore, with the use of data analytics, most of the emerging solutions encompass the reach of enterprise applications in various places in process architecture, which include machines and their associated sensors, I/O modules, and controllers to enable faster and improved response actions in manufacturing and processing operations. Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the emergence of smart factories. The emergence of smart factories is changing the facade of industrial manufacturing. In addition, in a smart factory, real-time data and information are connected using a constant stream of data and, therefore, can improve or optimize the processes through automation and self-optimization.
Moreover, network and cloud are two connected infrastructures that are key to achieving this goal. In addition, the network facilitates the interconnection for communication and data flow, while the cloud delivers powerful and elastic computing and storage abilities for Big Data and intelligent applications for further analysis. Therefore, to attain such connectivity specifications, industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherCAT are selected to implement machine networks (controller-to-sensors/actuators communication), machine-to-cloud communication, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, respectively, in the smart factory. Hence, such factors drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The threat of cyber-attacks is one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. Industrial Ethernet facilitates the use of a single network, right from the enterprise IT to the factory floor, thereby improving decision-making. However, it also increases the chances of cyber-attacks. For example, some Industrial Ethernet protocols are based on a standard transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP), user datagram protocol stack, which can result in security vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, Open Industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT incorporate the IP suite to enhance operational efficiency. However, despite the availability of different anti-malware programs that promise to protect industrial systems against such attacks, these programs do not offer sufficient protection to industries against hackers. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The industrial ethernet segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The industrial ethernet segment is generally used to connect devices including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), local and distributed I/O, and servo controllers and drives on the plant floor and in industrial facilities. In addition, the increased adoption of industrial automation in various industrial sectors to improve production efficiency and product quality and minimize errors in production is fuelling the industrial ethernet market across the world.

The industrial ethernet segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 2.67 billion in 2018. Moreover, the acceptance of industrial ethernet as a protocol has been growing within the end-user industries mainly because it is cost-effective offers higher bandwidth, and provides ease of scalability. In addition, this has resulted in the high adoption of industrial ethernet as a protocol in place of Fieldbus. Furthermore, of all the different types of protocols under Ethernet, the Ethernet TCP/IP protocol is projected to witness extensive adoption as it facilitates connections between various devices such as robots, sensors, PLCs, and other industrial machines. Therefore, as the ethernet TCP/IP protocol enables effective and real-time communication of time-sensitive factory/floor data in the industrial environment, it is expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The evolving business requirement will fuel the on-premise segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period. End-user industries differ in terms of networking requirements. For instance, the requirements of the automotive industry will be different from those of end-users engaged in oil and gas. In addition, companies concentrating on the same area will have different requirements based on their potential customers. Moreover, global end-users focus more on the functionality of the system rather than the price. Furthermore, they also deal with critical business data, which is most important for the organization. In addition, the on-premise option removes company dependency and enables enterprises to change different aspects of the system as required. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
