The replacement of Fieldbus with industrial ethernet is notably driving market growth. For industrial ethernet across geographies, the ongoing replacement of Fieldbus with industrial ethernet as the primary networking technology in the industrial automation industry is boosting the demand. Industrial Ethernet is usually cost-effective and provides higher bandwidth and ease of scalability to its end-users. Fieldbus is designed to perform particular tasks within their respective local segments and in isolation from higher-level networks in comparison to industrial ethernet. Ethernet is more flexible than its Fieldbus as it can support many protocols simultaneously. Nevertheless, owing to factors such as better flexibility, remote access, and diagnostics; faster networking; and the ability to integrate the factory floor with the enterprise environment, the popularity of ethernet has been growing more rapidly than that of Fieldbus o
In addition, the rising demand for cloud-based services is revolutionizing the data centre infrastructure, therefore creating a lucrative demand for high bandwidth cables. The demand for industrial ethernet has been rising, which will add to the intricacy of the industrial ethernet network. This creates an opportunity for ethernet test equipment vendors and may boost market growth during the forecast period.
Continuous technological developments are an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The rising requirement for high-speed data has created the need for fast and low-cost data transmission. With distributed multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), the 5G network has multi-point connectivity and it can deliver several MIMO streams, where a single device is linked to numerous sites at the same time, therefore reaching a downlink throughput of 100%. For 5G technology testing and development, network operators are cooperating with testing companies. Ethernet-based test equipment is increasingly equipped with automation features, as well as remote monitoring capabilities, allowing for centralized control and management of test equipment over distributed networks to meet the requirements of distributed networks and large-scale networks.
Moreover, test equipment manufacturers are incorporating various testing capabilities in a single device to provide an end-to-end testing solution as cloud computing and software-defined networking (SDN) are becoming increasingly popular. These are not restricted to traffic generation, latency measurement, error detection, and performance monitoring. Therefore, ongoing technological developments will fuel the growth of the global ethernet test equipment market during the forecast period.
Intense competition is a major challenge hindering market growth. Due to the presence of multiple companies that offer differentiated products and services, the global ethernet test equipment market is highly competitive. The market has not only well-established companies such as EXFO, Viavi Solutions, Spirent Communications, Fortive, Anritsu, Tektronix, and Keysight Technologies but also several small-scale players. In APAC, regional players such as those offer low-cost products to cater to the local end-user's needs. This region has a large base of price-sensitive consumers, which encourages local companies to provide low-cost equipment. Nevertheless, due to the low budget for manufacturing such products, they compromise on product quality.
In addition, cost-driven end-users choose low-quality products offered by local companies. Such a situation forces international companies to lower the prices of their products, resulting in price wars. This impacts the profit margins of the companies in the market and thus hinders the growth of the market. Therefore, the intense competition in the ethernet test equipment market will hinder the growth of the ethernet test equipment market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the automotive segment will be significant during the forecast period. In the global ethernet test equipment market, the use of ethernet test equipment in the automobile sector is referred to as the automotive segment. Ethernet test equipment is employed to evaluate and confirm the effectiveness of ethernet networks in automobiles. The automotive industry is growing in importance as a market for ethernet test equipment suppliers as ethernet technology is being used in automobiles.

The automotive segment was the largest and was valued at USD 531.67 million in 2017. Some of the major applications of ethernet test equipment in the automotive segment include performance testing, compliance testing, fault diagnosis and troubleshooting and security testing. The rising demand for advanced connectivity and communication characteristics in automobiles is what drives the automotive segment of the global market for ethernet test equipment. The requirement for ethernet test equipment in the automotive industry is expected to advance as ethernet technology is embraced more widely for in-vehicle networking and communication, which, in turn, will augment the growth rate of the global Ethernet test equipment market during the forecast period.
10 GbE networks are used for transmitting data at a rate of 10 billion bits per second. Because of its cost-effective and less complex ethernet solutions to manage data among networks, these networks are mainly used in local area networks (LAN) and metropolitan area networks (MAN). Due to their ability to support cloud computing, convergence, and virtualization in the data centre, businesses are moving from Frame Relay and time-division multiplexing (TDM) services to IP/Ethernet services. The upsurge in the use of high-speed Internet and the growth of the 4th Generation (4G) mobile applications have also driven the adoption of 10 GbE, which has thus expanded the demand for 10 GbE test equipment. Thus, the 10 GbE ethernet cable will drive the demand for the global ethernet test equipment market during the forecast period.
