The global power over ethernet market size was valued at USD 1.27 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.8% from 2024 to 2030. The projected growth is attributed to factors such as a growing adoption of the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, wireless networks, rising demand for POE-powered devices such as access points and internet protocol cameras, and advancements in technology. A growth in the integration of power over ethernet (PoE) with smart building applications and lighting controls is also expected to generate greater demand for this market during the forecast period.
PoE technology is widely employed in smart grids for transmitting data and electricity through a single line to on-site devices that help optimize space and data communication technologies. Emergence and growing adoption of technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other advanced technology applications such as proximity sensors, and RFID sensors has been driving growth for the industry.
PoE also enables the integration of smart sensors into the network without the additional requirement of electrical outlets in any location. It allows the use of a single cable to supply power and link access points, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks, feature-rich video IP phones, smart lighting luminaires, and technology-enabled sensors in smart buildings. Therefore, this factor is fueling the market's compound annual growth rate.
Power sourcing equipment controllers and ICs segment dominated the market and accounted for a share of 58.8% in 2023.
