Why Is Demand Increasing
High-performance computing and AI workloads require high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between GPUs, CPUs and accelerators, accelerating adoption of PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 and creating interest in PCIe 6.0.
Data-center infrastructure is expanding demand for high-port-count switches — the source notes that the global data-center accelerator market, heavily reliant on PCIe switches, is projected to exceed USD 65 billion by 2027.
SSD and NVMe adoption is a major application driver — SSD applications account for about 71% of the market as PCIe switches connect multiple high-speed NVMe drives in storage arrays and servers.
Fab & Technology Pulse: PCIe 3.0 Installed Base Meets PCIe 5.0/6.0 Expansion
The technology transition in PCIe switch chips is being shaped by a large installed base of mature standards and rapid demand for higher bandwidth. PCIe 3.0 currently represents 42% of the market, reflecting ecosystem maturity and cost effectiveness, while PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 are gaining design momentum for next-generation servers, storage and networking. PCIe 6.0 introduces additional design complexity, particularly around signal integrity, power and thermal management. At the architecture level, Switch Port remains the prevalent configuration because it expands one PCIe connection to multiple endpoints, while Multi-Host architectures are gaining traction in high-availability and shared-resource data-center environments. The source also identifies CXL support as an important opportunity because CXL uses the PCIe physical layer and enables memory pooling and sharing.
