Global Copper Network Switches Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Copper Network Switches market size is predicted to grow from US$ 3425 million in 2025 to US$ 5002 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2026 to 2032.
Global sales of copper network switches reached 50 million units in 2025, with an average selling price of approximately $70 per unit.
Copper network switches are network devices that use twisted-pair (copper cable) as the transmission medium. They connect to terminal devices (such as computers, servers, and IP phones) via RJ45 interfaces, encapsulating and forwarding data frames. Their core function is based on MAC address recognition, directing data packets only to the target port to avoid broadcast storms. They also support full-duplex communication and dedicated port bandwidth, significantly improving network throughput. Due to their low deployment cost and strong compatibility, copper switches are widely used in small and medium-sized enterprises, campus networks, and home environments. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 20%-30%.
Upstream: This includes suppliers of chips (Ethernet controllers, switching chips), components (capacitors, resistors), structural parts (metal casings), and raw materials such as copper. Midstream: Copper switch manufacturers, responsible for product design, assembly, and testing. Downstream: Applications are widespread, including data centers, campus networks, manufacturing, and smart cities.
Market driving factors mainly include the following:
Policy support and improved standards solidify the foundation for development. The national "Eastern Data, Western Computing" project and the policy of coordinated development of 5G and gigabit optical networks ("dual gigabit") provide continuous policy dividends for copper switches. For example, the "14th Five-Year Plan for New Infrastructure Construction" explicitly proposes accelerating the transformation of gigabit LANs and promoting the upgrading of enterprise intranets, directly driving demand for access layer equipment. Simultaneously, the improvement of industry standards (such as the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard) enhances product compatibility and security, reducing enterprise deployment costs.
Digital transformation in industries is generating diverse demands. The urgent need for high-bandwidth, low-latency, and high-reliability LAN infrastructure in industries such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, and finance has become the core driver of growth in the copper switch market. For example, smart campuses need to support massive terminal access, and the industrial internet requires real-time communication between devices; copper switches, with their flexible deployment and convenient maintenance, have become the preferred choice for such scenarios. Furthermore, the accelerated trend of SMEs migrating to the cloud continues to release demand for cost-effective access layer equipment.
Technological iteration and ecosystem collaboration are expanding application boundaries. Gigabit copper switches, by supporting new features such as PoE++, Energy-Saving Ethernet (EEE), IPv6, and SDN lightweighting, effectively extend product lifecycles and form efficient collaboration with WiFi 6/7 wireless access points, supporting new application scenarios such as smart parks and smart factories. For example, in the field of video surveillance, copper switches power cameras while ensuring stable transmission of 4K video streams through high bandwidth, meeting the stringent requirements of the security industry for real-time performance and reliability.
