An ethernet controller is a networking device that allows data communication in a network. Ethernet is among the widely used data transfer and communication technology in data centers, cloud computing, gaming, and personal computing. Due to the stable data transfer and communication in ethernet technology, it has seen wide adoption in servers and embedded systems. Moreover, as the trend of (Over-the-Top) OTT is increasing, the demand for seamless file or video streaming is taking place, which in turn is fueling the growth of high-end ethernet controllers.

According to Ken Research Analysis, the global ethernet controller market was valued at US$ 8 Bn in 2017. In recent years, the use of cloud solutions has seen rapid growth in IT, Telecom, and healthcare among others due to which the market size is estimated to be US$ 11 Bn in 2022. The market size is expected to reach US$ 15 Bn in 2028 growing with a CAGR of ~7%.

The global ethernet controller market is driven by various factors including the increased use of servers in data centers. The surging number of OTT broadcasting service providers and traditional broadcasters is another factor driving the market growth.

Data-intensive applications like cloud computing and big data continue to drive the demand for servers in ethernet controllers. Large terabits of data from such applications to data centers and vice versa move each second and moving this data into data centers requires a strong infrastructure efficient for handling the distribution of high-bandwidth data with high IP traffic to and from storage endpoints, main switches, servers, and high-end switches.
Ethernet controllers help link these devices with the help of media access control addresses. Thus, the rise in demand for these data-intensive applications helps in market growth.
In March 2020, Ethernity Networks introduced its ENET-D, an Ethernet controller technology in addition to its ACE-NIC100 SmartNIC that efficiently processes millions of data streams and provides performance acceleration for network and security devices.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Bandwidth Type:

In the Global Ethernet Controller Market, the Fast Ethernet segment held the largest market share in 2021.

The installation of new and advanced software and increasing transfer rates are accelerating the demand for this segment.
According to Comnet, a manufacturer of audio, video, data, and ethernet communication products, Fast Ethernet transmission is at least 10 times faster than normal ethernet and proves to be useful in maintaining compatible connections to servers with high speed, decreasing bandwidth bottlenecks for network systems operating multiple IP videotape cameras and IoT, and seamlessly supporting complex networks that run multiple bandwidth-intense software packages at the same time.
The BCM57414 50G PCIe3.0 Ethernet controller builds upon the success of the extensively-fixed NetXtremeE-Series framework by combining a high-bandwidth Ethernet controller with a unique set of broadly-optimized hardware acceleration machines to enhance network performance and enhance server effectiveness.

By Function:

The PHY (Physical Layer) segment held the largest market share in 2021 in the Global Ethernet Controller Market.

An Ethernet PHY is designed to deliver error-free transmission over a variety of media to reach distances that exceed 100m.
In December 2021, Marvell declared the industry’s first 802.1 AE MACsec integrated dual 1000BT1 and 100BT1 PHYs. The new products aid OEMs in transitioning toward software-defined vehicles, where secure data communication is a critical need, extending Marvell’s portfolio in automotive Ethernet PHY. These Ethernet PHY solutions enable energy-effective, secure in-vehicle networks and help in achieving functional safety compliance at the system level.

By Application: In the Global Ethernet Controller Market, the servers segment held the largest market share in 2021.

The enterprise migration to the cloud and the role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and analytics are increasing the use of servers.
For instance, Oracle Big Data Appliance includes five or more servers and the technology to connect the servers to the network. The network connections allow the servers to be administered remotely and allow customers to connect to them.
In November 2021, Broadcom Inc. released that Meta (Facebook) deployed the world’s topmost bandwidth Ethernet switch chip, the Broadcom StrataXGS Tomahawk 4 switch series, in its data center network fabric. A preeminent- edge25.6 Tbps Ethernet switch, the Tomahawk4 is dispatching in high volume in Meta’s Minipack2 platform.

By Region: The Asia Pacific Ethernet Controller Market is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period in the Global Ethernet Controller Market.

This growth is due to the growing use of ethernet controllers in consumer usage, servers, and desktop systems in the region and increases in demand for (Voice over Internet Protocol) VoIP solutions, gaming consoles, and digital signage.
According to Cisco Korea, in 2021, internet applications reached 7.7 exabytes per month compared to about 3.4 exabytes in 2016. In addition, the growth of IoT and 5G deployed are also playing a significant part in driving the demand.
Further, the number of active Internet users in India is anticipated to rise by 45% from 2020 to 2025 and touch 900 million by 2025 from around 622 million in 2020, based on the Internet and Mobile Association of India. The report defines an active user as someone who has entered the Internet at least once in the past month.

North America held the largest market share in 2021 in the Global Ethernet Controller Market. The primary factors contributing to the region's high demand share include advancements in IT infrastructure, and an increase in the number of connected devices, and data centers.
