Power Over Ethernet Market Set To Climb From $3.23 Billion In 2026 To $8.13 Billion By 2030
The power over ethernet market has experienced substantial growth in its size over recent years. It is projected to expand from $2.56 billion in 2025 to $3.23 billion in 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.2%. This historical expansion can be attributed to several factors, including the increased deployment of VoIP phones, a rise in IP camera installations, the adoption of wireless access points, the expansion of LED lighting systems, and growing connectivity requirements for commercial buildings.
The power over ethernet market is anticipated to experience substantial growth in the upcoming years, projected to reach $8.13 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.9%. This expansion during the forecast period is driven by factors such as the rise in smart home and office automation, the proliferation of industrial IoT networks, a heightened demand for high-power PoE devices, their seamless integration with cloud-managed networks, and the escalating requirement for energy-efficient network solutions. Key trends emerging over the forecast period encompass the widespread adoption of high-power PoE solutions (reaching up to 100w), their integration into smart building automation systems, the development of energy-efficient and low-loss cabling solutions, capabilities for remote monitoring and management of PoE networks, and robust support for next-generation devices and IoT endpoints.

Power Over Ethernet Market Demand Drivers Opening New Revenue Streams
The increasing use of internet of things (IoT) devices is projected to boost the expansion of the power over ethernet market. Internet of things (IoT) devices constitute an interconnected network of items such as smartphones, sensors, wearables, smart home devices, and security cameras, which transmit and share data via the internet autonomously. Demand for internet of things (IoT) connected devices is escalating due to the requirement for real-time data, as these devices improve efficiency, facilitate remote oversight, and aid more intelligent decision-making in various sectors. Power over ethernet (PoE) facilitates the uptake of internet of things (IoT) devices by providing power and data through one cable, thereby streamlining setup and decreasing infrastructure expenses. This technology ensures smooth connectivity for smart sensors, cameras, and access points, enhancing operational efficiency and allowing quicker implementation of IoT ecosystems. For example, in September 2024, data from IoT Analytics, a Germany-based research firm specializing in IoT market insights, indicated that connected IoT devices numbered 16.6 billion in 2023, representing a 15% rise from 14.4 billion in 2022. Consequently, the expanding adoption of internet of things (IoT) devices is fueling the growth of the power over ethernet market.

Power Over Ethernet Market Trends Powering Strategic Industry Growth
Leading companies in the power over ethernet market are concentrating on developing advanced products, such as high-density power over ethernet (PoE) switches, to enhance network capacity, improve connectivity, and streamline infrastructure for powering devices. High-density PoE switches are network hardware that supplies both data connection and electrical power via a single Ethernet cable to many devices simultaneously, including access points, security cameras, and IoT sensors. For example, in January 2025, Lantronix, a California-based provider of secure networking and IoT connectivity solutions, unveiled the 28-port SM24TBT4XPA Managed 2.5G Ethernet PoE++ Switch. This switch is built for high-performance environments needing significant bandwidth and power, featuring 24 2.5 Gigabit PoE++ ports and four extra 1G SFP fiber uplink ports. This architecture delivers robust power and high-speed connectivity for a diverse range of demanding devices, such as next-generation Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, advanced PTZ cameras, and access control systems. It comes with sophisticated management and security features like VLAN, QoS, and static routing, enabling smooth network integration and central control of connected endpoints without needing separate power supplies.
