Research Overview

The global terabit ethernet (TbE) testing solutions market was worth $62.3 million in 2020 and will reach $203.6 million by 2025, corresponding to incremental growth of $141.3 million and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.7% between 2020 and 2025. The market had exorbitant growth rates in 2019 and 2020; however, as the technology matures, growth rates will normalize during the forecast period (2021 to 2025).

TbE runs at speeds faster than 100 Gbps. In the ethernet landscape, TbE is laying the foundation for developing true 1,000 Gbps (1 Tbps) speed. True TbE does not yet exist. However, the rapid growth in demand for higher network bandwidth resulting from various technological advancements in the fields of connected ecosystems, IoT, cloud computing, AI, and AR/VR, will drive the need for higher ethernet speeds.

Testing has become a major requirement for the successful implementation of terabit ethernet systems because of the incorporation of several new technologies, such as use of PAM4 modulation, fiber optics, and optical modules. These factors will positively impact the market for TbE testing solutions during the forecast period. TbE testing equipment includes solutions that test network connectivity and ensure high network performance. These pieces of equipment validate both local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) connectivity and can verify the signal integrity of the networks operating at different speeds.
