The worldwide sales in carrier Ethernet switch/routers have raised with 25% from last year and 6% every quarter. The sales during the rolling 4-quarter period ending in 3Q07 totaled no less than $1.86 billion. The study presents strong growth from Cisco, Huawei, and Hitachi Cable which have driven the CESR market above $500 million for the first time.
"We expect the combination of a $2 billion run rate and double-digit
year-over-year growth will attract growing attention of financial analysts, investors, and equipment vendor executives to the exciting CESR market," said Stan Hubbard, Senior Analyst at Heavy Reading and author of the Carrier Ethernet Switch/Router Quarterly Market Tracker.
Heavy Reading is covering 15 vendors in the Carrier Ethernet Switch/Router Quarterly Market Tracker, but the study predicts an increasing number for the next year. Currently, Cisco maintains a dominant position with a 56% market share. The second vendor in the top is Alcatel-Lucent with 19% of the market.
Heavy Reading's research delivers a complete accounting of telecom equipment manufacturer revenues in CESR sector, including quarter-by-quarter revenue and market share breakouts for each supplier, sales by geographic region and revenue projections through 2010 by region.
The Carrier Ethernet Switch/Router Quarterly Market Tracker also reveals the operators that have purchased CESR devices and platforms. In the next years the predictions are positive for producers, as the telephony market also expects growths.
