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.
