Single Pair Ethernet Global Market Report 2025

Single pair ethernet (SPE) is a networking technology facilitating data transmission over a single twisted pair of copper wires, thereby streamlining installations and cutting costs. Widely utilized for high-speed data transfer and power delivery, SPE finds application across industrial automation, automotive systems, IoT devices, and smart buildings, simplifying cabling infrastructure and reducing expenses.

The primary components of single pair ethernet infrastructure encompass solutions and services. Infrastructure and device components constitute the physical building blocks and operational units of a system, network, or technology. This includes various bandwidth options such as Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Switch Ethernet, deployed across diverse applications such as industrial robotics, access control systems, vehicles, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

This single pair ethernet market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The single pair ethernet market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.4 billion in 2024 to $3.74 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the need for energy-efficient solutions, industry 4.0, the emergence of IoT, advancements in connectivity standards, and regulatory compliance requirements.

The single pair ethernet market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to IoT expansion in the automotive sector, expansion of smart grids, demand for POE (power over ethernet) solutions, transition to remote work and IoT connectivity, and integration with wireless technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include the growing adoption of single pair ethernet solutions in building automation systems, integration with time-sensitive networking (TSN), standardization and interoperability initiatives, adoption in healthcare and telemedicine, and growth in edge computing applications.

The forecast of 9.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. U.S. manufacturers may experience delays in adopting Single Pair Ethernet due to tariffs on compact connectors and PHY chips essential for IIoT and automotive use cases. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The anticipated rapid expansion of industrial robots is poised to significantly boost the growth of the single-pair Ethernet market in the coming years. Industrial robots, programmable machines designed to automate tasks traditionally performed by humans in industrial settings, are witnessing increased adoption owing to their capacity to enhance productivity, quality, workplace safety, and cost-efficiency in manufacturing and industrial environments. Single-pair Ethernet technology facilitates high-speed data transmission and power delivery within industrial robots, simplifying communication and connectivity while reducing cabling complexities. For instance, in 2023, as reported by the International Federation of Robotics, installations of industrial robots exceeded 500,000 units in 2022, contributing an additional 5% to the previous record of 526,144 units installed in 2021. Notably, in Asia, installations reached 404,578 units, marking a 5% increase from the 2021 figure of 385,143 units, underscoring the driving force behind the growth of the single-pair Ethernet market.

Key players in the single-pair ethernet market are driving innovation by developing cutting-edge products, including long-reach single-pair power over ethernet (LRSPoE), to gain a competitive advantage. LRSPoE technology enables the transmission of both data and power over extended distances using a single twisted-pair cable. For instance, Analog Devices Inc., a US-based semiconductor company, introduced the world's first 'single-pair power over ethernet (SPoE) power sourcing equipment (PSE) and power device (PD) solutions' in November 2022, catering to applications such as smart buildings and factory automation. These solutions offer real-time power management, telemetry, minimal standby power consumption, and simplified installation, facilitating powered last-mile connectivity for factory and building automation. Analog devices' SPoE solutions address the challenges associated with powering and connecting devices, particularly in remote and difficult-to-access endpoint locations, enabling the seamless integration of new endpoint applications across networks and facilitating monitoring of local elements such as asset health, environmental conditions, and security metrics.

In January 2024, Honeywell International Inc., a US-based engineering and technology company, announced a collaboration with Analog Devices Inc. to drive transformative innovation, commencing with building automation. This collaboration aims to integrate ADI's single-pair Ethernet (T1L) and software-configurable input or output (SWIO) solutions into Honeywell's building management systems, enhancing their functionality and performance. Analog Devices Inc., known for its expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, specializes in single-pair Ethernet solutions, positioning itself as a key player in driving advancements in industrial connectivity.
