COVID-19 Scenario Analysis
- The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the society and the overall economy globally. The COVID-19 crisis is making uncertainty in the stock market, immense slowing of the supply chain, falling business confidence, and increasing panic among the customer segments.
- The overall impact of the pandemic is impacting the production process of several industries, including semiconductor, electronics, and many more.
- Trade barriers are further constraining the demand and supply outlook. As the governments of different areas have already announced total lockdown and temporarily shutdown of industries, the overall production process is adversely affected. This hampered the overall PCIe switches market forecast globally.
Top Impacting Factors
The demand for high-performance storage is the primary driving factor the growth of the PCIe switches market. Adoption of PCIe switches in the server, storage, and general-purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) architectures is increasingly growing due to their high reliability and low pin-to-pin latency. Owing to growing demand for PCIe switches in multiple applications, manufacturers are focusing on the development of technologically advanced PCIe switches with high-speed operational capability. Additionally, increasing the use of PCIe switches to provide multiple fan-out switches with small size in military applications is expected to boost the PCIe market growth.
PCIe 4.0 to Improve Adoption of PCIe Switches
The demand for high-performance storage has played a major role in driving innovations in the PCIe switches market in the past few years. Stakeholders in the current market landscape are aligning their product development strategies in tune with the climbing consumer demand for faster and reliable data storage and management solutions.
While PCIe 3.0 switches offered a maximum speed of around 3,500MB/s, the new addition to the PCIe switches family, the PCIe 4.0 is likely to offer speeds up to 5000 MB/s. With the start of PCIe 4.0, the overall speed at which PCIe slot operates is doubled and provides a staggering 2GB/s per lane as opposed to the 1GB/s per lane offered by PCIe 3.0. In addition, PCIe 4.0 switches aid inefficient utilization of data center resources, which offer an optimal return on capital expenditures. Therefore, the demand for advanced PCIe 4.0 switches is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the coming years.
Surge in Usage in Automotive and Industrial Applications
PCIe switches play an important role in the defense industry as they are used in unmanned systems payloads, ground control stations, command and control, avionics computers, and surveillance applications. In the military sector, demand for smaller sized and low weight products is high in military electronics systems. PCIe switches are a prominent choice in these products as they are more flexible, secure, and reliable.
PCIe switches allow to handle greater bandwidth operations at faster speeds. In addition, in military application, PCIe switches play an important role in performing operations precisely in adverse conditions. Hence, increase in the adoption of PCIe switches to provide multiple fan-out switches with small sizes in military applications is projected to be a significant factor fueling the market during the forecast period.
