The Worldwide Carrier Routing & Switching markets have seen typical 1Q seasonality, declining 14.2% sequentially but growing 9.0% year over year, according to ACG Research. The Total Worldwide Carrier Routing & Switching market grew revenue $2.7B in Q1/11. Core Routing revenues were down 11.2% q/q and up 9.5% y/y. Edge Routing & Switching revenues down 15.1% q/q and up 8.9% y/y.
Cisco continues to hold the number one position with 50.3% of total market share. In a dramatic market shift, Juniper reclaimed its number two spot, bumping Alcatel-Lucent to number three. According to Ray Mota, managing partner, “this seasonal decline was expected, especially after the strong growth posted in Q4.” ACG is cautiously optimistic about the future outlook of the market. “We see service providers spending on cloud computing and video services and managed services will help drive growth in the remainder of 2011. Vendors that execute on their strategy stand to gain good market share of CapEx spend associated with those services.”

QUARTERLY TREND and DRIVER HIGHLIGHTS
- Carriers are reducing their CapEx this quarter but still spending in mobility and new services creation opportunities.
- Many providers have exhausted or will soon exhaust their IP addresses. Service providers have to decide about IPV6 now and gradually increase their costs or continue to employ band aid solutions to NAP and risk their business continuity.
- Security is the number one concern of enterprises as they continue to move toward virtualization and cloud offerings.
- Carriers are looking to Carrier Ethernet, QoS, CDN, IPV6, and end-to-end technologies to address their pain points associated with the increasing amount of video traffic.
