- France has undergone a considerable digital transformation within its industries, just like many other countries. Businesses are investing in data centers to make processes, services, and operations more efficient. In order to make data center operations efficient, reliable, and secure, ethernet switches play a crucial role.
- Ethernet switches that combine energy efficiency features play an essential role in data center green practices as sustainability becomes a priority in France. As a result, it reflects global trends toward more environmentally friendly data center operations.
- Increasing focus on digitalization, Internet penetration (reached 92% by 2022 from 88% in 2019), and e-commerce sales across the country create more need for storage facilities. For instance, The majority of French online buyers continue to purchase from their homes or places of business. Sales have increased in France, which is the second-largest e-commerce sector in Europe. The total revenue generated by the e-commerce industry in 2022 was EUR146.9 billion (USD 157.89 billion), a rise of 13.8% from the previous year. Such instances in the market resulted in huge demand for data centers and, consequently, the need for more ethernet switches within data centers.
- The key players in the market focus on updating the network devices to meet the market demand. In July 2023, Broadcom introduced a new software-programmable Trident 4-X7 Ethernet switch ASIC to support the growing need for 400G connectivity inside enterprise data centers as demand for increasing bandwidth levels increases.
