Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Network Processor market size was valued at US$ 5514 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 13250 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 13.5% during review period.

A network processor is an integrated circuit that is a programmable software device used as a network architecture component inside a network application domain. A network processor in a network is analogous to central processing unit in a computer or similar device. The replacement of analogous signals to packet data form in telecommunication has led to integrated circuits of network processors that handle data packets. Modern-day network processors have developed from simple designs to complex ICs with programmable software and a variety of operations and manipulation functions on the data packet. Network processors are employed in the manufacturing of routers, network switches, packet inspection, session controllers, firewall, transmitter devices, error detection and prevention devices and network control software. With today’s web networking growing stronger than ever, network processors play a significant role in managing an overloaded network with abundant traffic and rapid growth rate. Network processors play a key role in packet inspection, encryption, monitoring, traffic management and queue management in a large network.

The Network Processor industry can be broken down into several segments, Lower Speed Network Processor, High Speed Network Processor, etc.
