The global Ethernet adapter market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Ethernet adapter is a hardware component that provides access to an Ethernet connection from a device or workstation. It is possible to install Ethernet adapters directly on a computer or to add-ons on an expansion board. Computers can communicate over a network using an Ethernet adaptor. Depending on the protocol standard it supports, the Ethernet adapter operates at various network speeds. Companies with the Ethernet adaptor have reduced operating costs.

The increase in demand for higher bandwidth connections in various businesses is driving the expansion of the Ethernet adapter market, and increased Internet experience utilises a lower bandwidth, resulting in an inefficient performance for significantly larger numbers of users. The growth of the Ethernet adapter industry is also expected to increase the deployment of data centres, high dependability and signal stability afforded by Ethernet connections. Furthermore, the market is expected to benefit from rising demand for power over Ethernet from various industries, as well as the digitalization of businesses.

For instance, in March 2020- Ethernity Networks announced the ENET-D, an add-on Ethernet Controller technology for its ACE-NIC100 SmartNIC that efficiently processes millions of data flows and improves networking and security appliance performance. ENET-D advances complete disaggregation at the network edge by fitting into various FPGAs and allowing customers to avoid ASIC-based components even further. Furthermore, in April 2020, Renesas Electronica announced a new addition to the RX family. It combines equipment control and networking functions for a unique chip and EtherCAT support to the RX 72N Group and RX 66N group of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs).
