Data Center Networking Technologies: Global Markets

The global market for data center networking technologies is expected to grow from $45.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $103 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

The data center networking technology market is growing in developed markets and developing economies, due to a surge in demand for digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions across residential, commercial, and government sectors.

Advanced data center networking technologies offer high bandwidth, reduced latency, and improved thermal and power efficiency. Through the integration of hundreds of servers in leaf-spine topologies -- a two-layer network architecture that consists of leaf switches (the access layer) and spine switches (the backbone layer), high-performance switches, optical interconnects, programmable accelerators known as SmartNICs, and data processing units (DPUs) enable transparent scalability. (DPUs are specialized processors for offloading and accelerating data-centric tasks like networking, storage, and security from a CPU.) Cloud-native apps, multi-cloud scenarios, and AI/ML workloads may all be supported by these configurable and energy-efficient network fabrics.
