Global Smart NIC Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Smart NIC market size is expected to reach $ 2262 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 13.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
From a functional standpoint, NICs have historically been an essential board or chip in computing systems, enabling connectivity in networking systems. NICs, also known as network adapters, are used in computer systems, such as personal computers or servers, to establish a dedicated communication channel between the system and a data network. The NIC acts as a translator, taking host memory buffers and formatting them into structured packets for transmission over a network, usually Ethernet. The NIC also receives packets from the network and converts them into memory buffers for use by applications on the host.
A Smart NIC is a NIC with the addition of a programmable data processing unit (DPU) for network data acceleration and offload. The terms Smart NIC and DPU are often used interchangeably. Smart NICs add additional computing resources to the NIC to offload tasks from the host CPU, freeing the host CPU for more important tasks.
Global 5 largest manufacturers of Smart NIC are Marvell Technology Group, AMD, NVIDIA, Intel and Napatech, which make up about 88%. Among them, Marvell Technology Group is the leader with about 39% market share.
Americas is the largest market, with a share about 53%, followed by Asia-Pacific and Europe, with the share about 32% and 11%. In terms of product type, FPGA-based products occupy the largest share of the total market, about 94%. And in terms of product application, the largest application is Data Center, followed by Telecom.
