The Data Center Switch Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). A data center switch is a multiport network bridge that creates a network connection in a data center that allows data to be received, processed, and routed from one location to another. Datacenter switches are primarily used by large enterprises and cloud service providers. The increasing workload in the data center today demands highly scalable, reliable, and high-performing switching solutions.

Edge computing, cloud computing, government regulations regarding data center localization, high data center operational costs, and advancements in smart computing devices are expected to have a significant impact on the global data center switch market's growth. The cloud and its connection to billions of connected devices such as autonomous vehicles, PCs, virtual reality systems, and others are the main trends that are supporting data centers.

As the need for data grows globally, so does the demand for data centers, as major cloud suppliers focus on commissioning multiple data center projects with large expenditures. Amazon, for example, a global leader in cloud management, is growing its investments in data centers throughout the world, particularly in rising areas like Asia-Pacific. The firm intends to invest USD 1.5 billion in India to construct two data centers, mostly for its AWS division. Over the forecast period, rising demand for the cloud and data traffic flowing from and within data centers are likely to drive market growth for data center switches.

The market players have been able to increase their position in the sector by a variety of methods such as expansions, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, collaborations, partnerships, and others. Arista Networks, for example, acquired Big Switch Networks, a network monitoring, and Software-Defined Networking company, in February 2020. The addition of Big Switch to Arista's software platform CloudVision and Data ANalyZer capabilities will improve the company's network monitoring and observability package.
