By Component, the Hardware segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

Ethernet/IP is a leading industrial Ethernet protocol, developed by Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley brand in 2000. This protocol is based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) and is managed by the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA), an international standards organization. Ethernet/IP employs an originator/adapter architecture for seamless data exchange, accommodating star, tree, or linear topologies. It empowers end-user industries to implement standard Ethernet technology for industrial applications by providing essential tools. In industrial settings, Ethernet/IP enables communication between application nodes via CIP connections over a TCP connection, with the capability to establish multiple CIP connections on a single TCP connection.

By Technology, Ethernet/IP  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

The Industrial Ethernet market represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses seeking to modernize their manufacturing operations. This technology enables high-speed, reliable, and secure data communication between industrial devices and enterprise IT systems. Companies can improve efficiency, enhance productivity, and reduce downtime by implementing Industrial Ethernet solutions. The market is expected to grow at a robust CAGR due to increasing automation and digitization in industries.

APAC is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The Industrial Ethernet market in APAC is currently experiencing a slower revenue growth rate compared to other regions due to the absence of a well-established industrial Ethernet network. However, key industrial Ethernet technologies such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, PROFIBUS, Modbus, and CC-Link are extensively used in the region. Notably, the CC-Link IE Field version is gaining significant traction. The power and automotive industries are anticipated to witness notable growth during the forecast period, driven by the expanding consumer base in APAC, particularly in India and China, which is expected to boost automotive manufacturing. Furthermore, the power industry's growth is expected to be fueled by the global shift towards renewable energy sources during the forecast period.
