The Power over Ethernet (PoE)
technology enables the transfer of electrical signals and data over
cables, thereby avoiding the usage of separate power cords. Demand for
fast and cost-effective communication is rising due to the increase in
the number of internet users. Under the PoE technology, power is
supplied through two or more differential pair of wires seen in Ethernet
cables. Implementation of the PoE chipsets for the transfer of data
signals saves the cost for setting up separate network of cables.

On the basis of product type, PoE
chipsets have been classified into proximity sensors, VoIP phones,
Ethernet switches, wireless radio access points, and pan-tilt-zoom
cameras. The VoIP applications contribute significantly toward the
growth of the global PoE chipsets market. PoE chipsets are deployed in
majority of business-class IP phones. The PoE technology provides value
proposition for wireless LAN access points, as it can be deployed
without tethering to an AC outlet. Network security cameras are
anticipated to hold the maximum growth potential for the market in the
next few years.
Global Power over Ethernet (PoE) Chipsets Market: Overview
Increase in adoption of IP telephony has
driven the demand for Power over Ethernet (PoE) chipsets. Rise in the
deployment of network security cameras and Ethernet-based RFID readers
will further boost the global PoE chipsets market. Introduction of
industrial Ethernet PoE solutions is expected to contribute
significantly toward the expansion of the market. The overall market has
an opportunity to grow in the near future, with the rising popularity
of PoE for digital signage.
Increasing costs of energy have pushed
energy-efficient PoE solutions into the spotlight. Introduction of
upgraded PoE plus is anticipated to propel the applications of PoE in
high-power devices. However, non-standard PoE chipsets cast a long
shadow of worry over the growth of the market.

Deployment of PoE technology requires
high capital investment on electrical and data infrastructure. Lack of
awareness about the benefits of the technology and insufficient power
requirements will also impede the global PoE chipsets market.
Introduction of standards such as IEEE
802.3 for the PoE technology has expanded the applications of PoE
chipsets, including wireless access points and security surveillance
cameras. When integrated into application and switching infrastructure,
the PoE technology offers reduced deployment costs and increased control
and monitoring capabilities across large enterprises and businesses.
Global Power over Ethernet (PoE) Chipsets Market: Region-wise Outlook
The global PoE chipsets market has been
segmented into four key regions: Europe, North America, Asia Pacific,
and Rest of the World. Due to the availability of technologically
advanced infrastructure, North America has been contributing
significantly toward the growth of the market. In the near future, Asia
Pacific is expected to emerge as a potential market for PoE chipsets, as
a large number of players are operating in the region.
Key players in the global PoE chipsets market
include Shenzhen Quanma Industry Co. Ltd., Silicon Laboratories,
STMicroelectronics, Flexcomm Technology, VISIX, Maxim Integrated, Akros
Silicon Inc., Microsemi Corporation, and ON Semiconductor. The market
has witnessed an influx of a number of vendors from various other
sectors such as semiconductors, power infrastructure, network
infrastructure, and cabling and network devices.
Market players are primarily focusing on
product development and innovations. Furthermore, the key vendors are
seeking mergers and acquisitions to expand their business. For example,
U.S.-based chipmaker Microsemi Corporation acquired Zarlink
Semiconductor, a specialty chip manufacturer, and AML Communications, a
manufacturer of microwave and microelectronic assemblies, to enhance its
expertise in the manufacture of PoE chipsets.
