Worldwide total telecom and datacom equipment revenue totaled US$107.9 billion in 2005 and will grow 33% to US$143.5 billion in 2009, according to a new market share and forecast report by Infonetics Research. Wireless broadband and mobile radio access equipment makes up the largest portion of revenue, but the expected increase is fueled by phenomenal growth in service provider next gen voice equipment and broadband aggregation and IPTV equipment.
Wireless LAN equipment sales are surging as well, but represent a small market overall.
"Three major trends are driving the growth we're seeing in the telecom and datacom market: People worldwide are communicating over networks and the Internet via broadband. Carriers are moving to a single converged data network incorporating voice and video along with traditional data. And mobile and fixed wireline networks of data, voice, and video are converging. With all of these changes come increased security concerns, both in carrier and enterprise networks, and all have long-term implications on spending that keep growth in the market relatively high through 2009," said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst at Infonetics Research.
