Increasing Adoption of LED Lighting:

The popularity of LED lighting has grown at an unprecedented rate during the past few years owing to the falling price of LED and rising technological advancements. Moreover, increasing need for energy-savings through efficient lighting is phasing down the adoption of fluorescent and incandescent lighting, which, in turn is fuelling the demand for LED lighting worldwide. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA) statistics, the global uptake of LED lighting in the residential sector rose from 5% in 2013 to 40% in 2018. The LED lighting solutions are considered highly durable and have a lower environmental footprint; moreover, they are cost-efficient and have longer lifespan. Further, government initiatives to phase out inefficient halogen lamps, fluorescent lights and introduce minimum quality standards for LED lighting that are integrated with the power over Ethernet. Several market players are focusing on the development of LED lighting and connecting it with the power over Ethernet technology. For instance, Wipro Lighting offers POE-based solutions integrated with the LED lighting technology, facilitating customizable environments for data centers, modern workspaces, education, healthcare, and retail segments. This POE-based LED lighting offers varied options for centralized and distributed architectures, which provides flexibility to either mount the related switches in an IDF/ electrical panel room or the ceiling. Such developments and facilities related to POE-based LED lighting are propelling the growth of the POE market.

The top five companies in the Power over Ethernet market include Broadcom Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Dell Inc., Silicon Laboratories Inc., and Texas Instrument Incorporated. The above listing of key players is derived by considering multiple factors such as overall revenue, current Power over Ethernet portfolio, new product launches, market initiatives, investment in technology up-gradation, mergers & acquisitions, and other joint activities. There are various other notable players in the global Power over Ethernet market ecosystem such as Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc, STMicroelectronics N.V., ON Semiconductor Corporation, and Monolithic Power Systems, Inc, amongst others

The PoE midspans or injector permits to handle both electricity and data; therefore, the Internet-based devices as VoIP phones operate efficiently by connecting it to just one cable instead of two. The constant rise in this market is being driven by the mounting requirement for PoE-based products such as IP Cameras, Wireless access points, VoIP phones, and others. Several features of the VoIP phones are ease of installation, maintenance, and low cost of communication, which led to the upsurge in VoIP phones’ deployment. Thus, boost the Power over Ethernet market during the given forecast period 2020-2027.  The PoE has to follow various standards such as 802.3af standard, 802.3at standard, and 802.3bt standard. The rising adoption of the PoE technology for security applications is boosting the overall market, and the 802.3af standard is used for the IP camera application. The advanced version of PoE follows a standard of 802.3at, which is also known as PoE Plus and is used to deliver around 34.2 W of power to powered devices (PD). Additionally, Ethernet cable applications are increasing globally, which is estimated to boost the growth of the PoE market further. These standards support various devices such as building management devices and video-conferencing device components, digital signage devices, and point of sale (PoS) devices.
