Introduction
KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) switch is a hardware device which allows server administrators to control multiple computing devices from a video display monitor, single keyboard, and mouse. KVM switch-based system performs the functions like management, monitoring, and control of an enterprise environment from a central location.
KVM switches are usually deployed in data centers that have multiple servers and computers in a single server rack. Datacenter personnel can rapidly connect to any server in the rack with a KVM switch allowing the personnel to control several computers from a single KVM device. Now, these KVM switches also allow to USB devices and switch audio (for example printers) between the different computers.
Gradual Growth Prospects for Global KVM Switch Market
The report on global KVM switch market covers detailed information about the market size (US$ Mn), trends & projections, market dynamics (drivers, restraints, and opportunities), recent developments, and the competition landscape pertaining to the global KVM Switch market for the study period 2018-2028.
The global KVM Switch market has been slated to witness sluggish growth over the next decade, reaching just-under US$ 775 Mn by the end of 2028. FMI’s analysis has projected a poor CAGR of 2.3% for the global KVM switch market over 2018-2028. Increasing data centers across the emerging economies, coupled with the flexibility offered by KVM switches, are among factors that continue to sustain the demand for the KVM switch.
KVM Secure Switch to Represent Dominating Sales through 2028
The KVM secure switch segment is estimated to hold a significant share in the global KVM Switch market in terms of value during the entire forecast period. However, the overall growth of this segment will remain modest throughout the projection period.
Energy-efficient & Space-saving Enhancements to Favor Growth of KVM Switch Market
KVM switches save space, reduce hardware-related expenses, and help streamline data center design. These are some of the most strongly advertised features of KVM switches. A less advertised feature of KVM switches is their energy and power efficiency enhancements. Less power is consumed as integrated KVM switches reduce hardware redundancy, which, in turn, results in low overall electrical load.
KVM switches also minimize the total number of data center rack cabinets, cable clutter, cooling system requirements, and the overall office floor space. These benefits of the integration of KVM switches into data center are estimated to drive the global KVM switches market during the forecast period.
Multi-user KVM Switch to Experience Above-average Demand Growth
Among all the switch types, the multi-user KVM switch is expected to hold a significant value share over the forecast period. The segment is projected to register 2.2X the growth registered by the single user KVM segment, by the end of the forecast period.
In terms of absolute $ opportunity, the multi-user KVM switch segment is expected to account for more than 85% of the total absolute $ opportunity created by the global KVM Switch market.
KVM Switch Manufacturers Targeting Potential Markets Emerging in East Asia & South Asia
By the end of the forecast period, Latin America, Europe, Oceania and Middle East & Africa (MEA) are estimated to lose their market value share at the end of the forecast period. Collectively, East Asia and South Asia regions are projected to register a CAGR of 5.8% by value, which is 2.5X more than the overall growth of the KVM Switch market by value.
North America region is estimated to register substantial growth and is expected to be followed by Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa in terms of value. East Asia and South Asia are projected to gain traction over the forecast period in the global KVM Switch market owing to an expected increase in the demand for KVM switches in the emerging countries such as China and India.
