KVM交换器市场:2023年至2028年预测KVM Switch Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028 |
2021年KVM交换器市场规模达574,633,000美元。
KVM交换器市场预计将在预测期内呈现稳定成长。 KVM交换器是一种专用硬体设备,旨在允许使用者使用一组或多组视讯监视器、键盘和滑鼠管理多台电脑。 KVM交换器可支援单一显示器或多个显示器,具体取决于其特定配置。 KVM交换器产业的成长动力包括资料中心扩张、远距工作的普及和技术进步。
KVM交换器广泛应用于资料中心,可从中央位置有效管理多个伺服器和系统,从而提供简化的控制并提高生产力。数位资料和云端基础的服务的爆炸性增长导致资料中心设施的爆炸性增长,需要可扩展且敏捷的管理解决方案。 KVM交换器提供了一种经济高效的方式来优化工作空间利用率并增强资料安全性,使其成为资料中心的重要组成部分。根据国际能源总署预测,到 2022 年,资料中心工作负载将达到 8 亿,与 2015 年工作负载相比大幅成长 340%。
KVM交换器可让您仅使用一组键盘、视讯显示器和滑鼠从一个位置管理多台电脑和伺服器,从而有助于远端工作排程。由于多种因素,包括 COVID-19 大流行以及鼓励灵活工作型态的公司政策变化,远距工作大幅增加。因此,随着越来越多的公司采用远端工作,KVM交换器的需求也会增加。英国议会的一份报告显示,2020 年 6 月,约 11% 的英国劳动力至少远距工作一天,到 2022 年 9 月,这一比例将增加一倍,其中 22% 的劳动力至少在家工作一天。
支援高解析度显示器和 USB-C 连接的 KVM交换器技术的重大进步推动了 KVM交换器产业的成长。这些现代且多功能的解决方案吸引了那些寻求更优雅、更有效率的方式来在一个地方管理多个系统的使用者。例如,2020年12月,宏正国际宣布推出CS22H KVM交换器,这是一款具有远端连接埠选择器和进一步增强功能的2连接埠USB 4K HDMI电缆。同样在 2021 年 9 月,Cable Matters 发布了一款支援 8K 或双 4K 视讯输出的 USB-C KVM交换器。
预计亚太地区将在 KVM交换器市场占据重要份额的主要原因是资料中心设施的快速增加以及政府的大量倡议和投资正在推动该地区的市场成长。例如,NTT于2022年5月宣布将在孟买开设一个新的资料中心。该公司也宣布计画新增8个资料中心,目标是到2024年3月实现装置容量509MW。同样在 2023 年 2 月,台湾领先的消费性电子製造商 Trans 推出了一款自适应 KVM交换器,将 USB-C、HDMI 和 USB 2.0 功能无缝地结合在一起。
企业正在迅速将业务转移到云端基础的平台,从而减少对 KVM交换器等实体硬体的需求。例如,在云端运算环境中,资源通常透过软体介面进行管理,不需要KVM交换器提供的直接硬体控制。此外,虚拟桌面基础架构 (VDI) 等解决方案支援远端存取云端伺服器上託管的多个虚拟机,从而可能进一步减少对 KVM交换器的需求。随着云端技术不断发展并提供更有效率、可扩展且更具成本效益的解决方案,对实体 KVM交换器的依赖可能会减少,这是抑制因素。
The KVM switch market was valued at US$574.633 million in 2021.
The KVM switch market is projected to show steady growth during the forecast period. A KVM switch is a specialized hardware device designed to enable a user to manage several computers using one or more sets of video monitors, keyboards, and mice. Depending on their specific configuration KVM switches can support either a single monitor or multiple monitors. The prominent drivers of the KVM switch industry growth are the improved data centres establishments, the surge in remote work arrangements, and advancements in technology.
KVM switches are widely used in data centers to efficiently manage multiple servers and systems from a central location, enabling streamlined control and increased productivity. Data centers establishment is experiencing a rapid surge due to the exponential growth of digital data and cloud-based services owing to which the need for scalable and agile management solutions becomes paramount. KVM switches offer a cost-effective way to optimize workspace utilization and enhance data security making them an essential component in data centers. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2022, the volume of data center workloads reached 800 million, marking a significant increase of 340% compared to the workload in 2015.
KVM switches are instrumental in remote work arrangements as they enable individuals to manage multiple computers or servers from a singular location, using just one set of a keyboard, video monitor, and mouse. Remote work has surged significantly due to various factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and changing corporate policies that encourage flexible work arrangements. Hence, as more organizations embrace remote work, the demand for KVM switches increases. As per the report provided by the UK Parliament, in June 2020, approximately 11% of the workforce in Great Britain worked remotely for at least one day, and by September 2022, this percentage had doubled, with 22% of the workforce carrying out their work from home for at least one day.
The KVM switch industry growth is being propelled by significant advancements in KVM switch technology, which now includes support for high-resolution displays and USB-C connectivity. These modern and versatile solutions are appealing to users seeking more sophisticated and efficient ways to manage multiple systems from a single location. For instance, in December 2020, ATEN International announced the launch of the CS22H 2-Port USB 4K HDMI Cable KVM Switch which features a remote port selector, further enhancing its functionality. Also, in September 2021, Cable Matters introduced a USB-C KVM switch that supports either 8K or Dual 4K video output.
Asia-Pacific will constitute a major share of the KVM switch market largely due to the rapid increase in data centers establishments and substantial government initiatives or investments which are bolstering the regional market growth. For instance, In May 2022, NTT announced the launch of a new data center in Mumbai. The company further announced its plans for eight additional data centers, aiming to achieve a facility load capacity of 509 MW by March 2024. Also, in February 2023, Trans, a cutting-edge manufacturer of consumer electronics based in Taiwan, unveiled its adaptive KVM switch that seamlessly combines USB-C, HDMI, and USB 2.0 functionalities into one cohesive unit.
Businesses are rapidly moving their operations to cloud-based platforms by which the need for physical hardware, such as KVM switches, may diminish. For example, in a cloud computing environment, resources are often managed through software interfaces, eliminating the need for direct hardware control that KVM switches provide. Moreover, solutions like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) allow remote access to multiple virtual machines hosted on a cloud server, which could further decrease the need for KVM switches. As cloud technology continues to evolve and provide more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective solutions, the reliance on physical KVM switches could potentially decline, posing a restraint to the market's growth.
