KVM交換器市場:2023年至2028年預測KVM Switch Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028 |
2021年KVM交換器市場規模達574,633,000美元。
KVM交換器市場預計將在預測期內呈現穩定成長。 KVM交換器是一種專用硬體設備,旨在允許使用者使用一組或多組視訊監視器、鍵盤和滑鼠管理多台電腦。 KVM交換器可支援單一顯示器或多個顯示器,具體取決於其特定配置。 KVM交換器產業的成長動力包括資料中心擴張、遠距工作的普及和技術進步。
KVM交換器廣泛應用於資料中心,可從中央位置有效管理多個伺服器和系統,從而提供簡化的控制並提高生產力。數位資料和雲端基礎的服務的爆炸性成長導致資料中心設施的爆炸性成長,需要可擴展且敏捷的管理解決方案。 KVM交換器提供了一種經濟高效的方式來最佳化工作空間利用率並增強資料安全性,使其成為資料中心的重要組成部分。根據國際能源總署預測,到 2022 年,資料中心工作負載將達到 8 億,與 2015 年工作負載相比大幅成長 340%。
KVM交換器可讓您僅使用一組鍵盤、視訊顯示器和滑鼠從一個位置管理多台電腦和伺服器,從而有助於遠端工作排程。由於多種因素,包括 COVID-19 大流行以及鼓勵靈活工作型態的公司政策變化,遠距工作大幅增加。因此,隨著越來越多的公司採用遠端工作,KVM交換器的需求也會增加。英國議會的一份報告顯示,2020 年 6 月,約 11% 的英國勞動力至少遠距工作一天,到 2022 年 9 月,這一比例將增加一倍,其中 22% 的勞動力至少在家工作一天。
支援高解析度顯示器和 USB-C 連接的 KVM交換器技術的重大進步推動了 KVM交換器產業的成長。這些現代且多功能的解決方案吸引了那些尋求更優雅、更有效率的方式來在一個地方管理多個系統的使用者。例如,2020年12月,宏正國際宣布推出CS22H KVM交換器,這是一款具有遠端連接埠選擇器和進一步增強功能的2連接埠USB 4K HDMI電纜。同樣在 2021 年 9 月,Cable Matters 發布了一款支援 8K 或雙 4K 視訊輸出的 USB-C KVM交換器。
預計亞太地區將在 KVM交換器市場佔據重要佔有率的主要原因是資料中心設施的快速增加以及政府的大量舉措和投資正在推動該地區的市場成長。例如,NTT於2022年5月宣布將在孟買開設一個新的資料中心。該公司也宣布計畫新增8個資料中心,目標是到2024年3月實現裝置容量509MW。同樣在 2023 年 2 月,台灣領先的消費性電子製造商 Trans 推出了一款自適應 KVM交換器,將 USB-C、HDMI 和 USB 2.0 功能無縫地結合在一起。
企業正在迅速將業務轉移到雲端基礎的平台,從而減少對 KVM交換器等實體硬體的需求。例如,在雲端運算環境中,資源通常透過軟體介面進行管理,不需要KVM交換器提供的直接硬體控制。此外,虛擬桌面基礎架構 (VDI) 等解決方案支援遠端存取雲端伺服器上託管的多個虛擬機,從而可能進一步減少對 KVM交換器的需求。隨著雲端技術不斷發展並提供更有效率、可擴展且更具成本效益的解決方案,對實體 KVM交換器的依賴可能會減少,這是抑制因素。
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.
