The global ethernet adapter market was valued at $1.77 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $16.30 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 33.50% from 2020 to 2027. An ethernet adapter is a hardware component located on the motherboard of systems, enabling a computer to connect to the internet or a local network through a wired connection. Ethernet adapters are anticipated to improve the system performance, thereby increasing the productivity. They are also commonly known as network interface card (NIC).
The surge in demand for higher bandwidth connections among different industries majorly drives the growth of the ethernet adapter market, increasing internet penetration is utilizing lower bandwidth for considerably large users resulting in inefficient performance. Moreover, increasing deployment of data centers, high reliability and signal stability offered by ethernet connections are expected to boost the market growth. Furthermore, growing demand for power over ethernet from various industries and digitalization of businesses are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market. However, high installation cost and limited physical availability for devices are expected to hinder the growth of the ethernet adapter market.
