Furthermore, with the rapid development of food and beverages, medical and pharmaceutical, power generation and other industries, the demand for industrial switches is also growing in the region. For instance, in Dubai, rise in smart cities leveraging the power of Wi-Fi and communication networks to enhance daily life for residents and businesses and promote sustainability is aiding the market. However, gateways is set to be the fastest growing with a higher CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period 2022-2027. This is owing to growing usage of industrial IoT gateway which is increasing in logistics transportation management as it provide high-speed wireless internet connection ensuring smooth progress of logistics and transportation management and inbound network access for maintenance and telemetry data. Additionally, the rising strategic initiatives such as partnership and agreement among gateway manufacturing companies in order to meet the demand is expected to create an opportunity in the gateways product segment.

MENA Industrial Ethernet Switchesnbsp;and Gatewaysnbsp;Marketnbsp;Segment Analysis – By Sales Channel

Indirect sales channel dominated the MENA Industrial Ethernet and Gateways Market in 2021 with a revenue of $104.3m growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Indirect sales channel are adopted by various manufacturers as it helps to distribute their products more rapidly in various industries which increase the sales of products. The importance of channel intermediaries has grown in recent years, largely owing to increased size, improved level of product knowledge, technical competence, specialization and many more. So, companies are selling their products through indirect sales. Also, these channels allow manufacturer to sell the products at higher margin which increases the cash flow owing to 100% payment from the customer. However, sometimes these channels lead to greater difficulty in forecasting the mix of products and the timing of orders from customers. However, direct sales channel is set to be the fastest growing with a higher CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. This is owing to the fact that it becomes a powerful way to increase profit and strengthen control on the product hence, increase adoption for many manufacturers. Additionally, manufacturers are looking to shorten their supply chain and move their operations closer to customer markets owing to COVID-19 pandemic. So, manufacturers such as ABB, Schneider Electric etc. are selling their products through direct sales channel which indicate that the majority of revenues are generated with the help of direct sales channel.

MENA Industrial Ethernet Switchesnbsp;and Gatewaysnbsp;Marketnbsp;Segment Analysis – By Geography

KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) dominated the MENA Industrial Ethernet and Gateways Market in 2021 with a revenue of $35.0m and is projected to reach $50.7 million by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The rapid infrastructure development projects in Saudi Arabia is driving the market for industrial ethernet switches and gateways as they are a crucial component for ensuring network connectivity of the infrastructure. Also, demand of PoE switches is also significantly higher in the region owing to the widespread use of IP surveillance cameras in all the industries. This can be attributed to the Saudi Arabian rule that mandates all businesses to have cameras installed. PoE switches can power IP cameras without the need for installing electrical wiring, thereby saving costs.

MENA Industrial Ethernet Switchesnbsp;and Gatewaysnbsp;Marketnbsp;Drivers

Increasing Competition For Scalable, Quick, Reliable, And Interoperable Communication Networks:

Industrial ethernet switches is required for complete transparency both within an industrial plant and between the plant and corporate networks. The core of the Industry 4.0 idea acts as a reliable communication network in the development of Middle East countries such as Qatar and Bahrain. For instance, The use of driverless Grade-of-Automation 4 (GoA4) in Bahrain’s new urban transit system will make it fully automated. Modular DIN rail switches can ensure high reliability in such complex networks that require high port density. Furthermore, The Qatar Railways Development Company (QRDC) started the construction of the 300km long Doha metro rail system in 2012 and the project is projected to be completed before the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The real-time operating needs of industrial automation and industrial communication networks are inextricably linked. As a result, they must be able to deal with data in a deterministic and redundant manner. The networks switches must be scalable over a diverse range of equipment that operates on a variety of standards and interfaces. A industrial switches should be able to respond quickly, while still being efficient and reliable. Designers must choose the optimum communication technology, traverse a multiprotocol environment, and cover a wide range of industrial equipment to accomplish these benefits. As a result of the growing demand for scalable and interoperable protocols; efforts to design a new set of communication products have increased.

The Incorporation Of Industrial Ethernet Switches Is Set To Rise As The Demand For Improved Network Infrastructure Flexibility Grows Across Industry Verticals

The growing demand for improved technology and the investigation of new ways to construct a network for the use of energy and electricity in industrial applications is expected to propel the industry forward in the MENA region. Furthermore, the business is being aided by the widespread use of IoT devices around the region. The requirement for increased network flexibility across the enterprises situated in the countries of Middle East And North Africa is expected to promote ethernet business growth. OEMs are incorporating more computer-based systems, interfaces, and applications into the automobile sector to provide proper interconnection across systems. As wiring harnesses become the third heaviest and most expensive component in cars as a result of this increase in cost, complexity, and weight. By offering a single network for linking all of the systems via a central switch, industrial ethernet switch can greatly minimise the complexity and cost of wiring in the automotive industry.

MENA Industrial Ethernet Switches?and Gateways?Market Challenges

Industrial communication methods and interfaces lack standardization

Industrial ethernet switches and gateways use a variety of interfaces, technologies, and protocols to communicate. Due to the lack of standardization in various communication interfaces and protocols, data may be misrepresented. It can also make system integration more difficult and prevent the usage of plug-and-play capabilities for unrelated systems. Most equipment manufacturers, for example, utilize proprietary interface protocols to communicate with their devices, posing communication issues when using devices from different manufacturers. In industrial ethernet, several communication protocols are utilized, but only a few companies offer communication modules that support most of them. Many companies offer customized industrial ethernet modules that only support a few communication protocols, making it difficult for end customers to switch to alternative protocols that meet their needs. Lack of technology standards makes system integration more difficult and limits communication device "plug-and-play" capabilities. Another challenge that industrial software and systems developers encounter is a lack of access to plant data. Standardization and interoperability measurements for industrial devices supplied by multiple vendors are challenging to implement due to a lack of this critical data.
