Campus Switch Market Grows as Prices Skyrocket in 2Q 2026
According to a new report from Dell'Oro Group, campus switch average selling prices grew 19 percent in the second quarter of 2026, driving the market to positive revenue growth despite component shortages. Every vendor outside China raised campus switch ASPs year-over-year, a direct result of AI-fueled component shortages that increased costs and led to list price increases on nearly all campus switches. Cisco, Arista, Ubiquiti, and Extreme all gained market share year-over-year, with vendors excelling at supply management and redesigns outperforming. Public Cloud-managed switch revenue rebounded and outpaced the total market, while memory shortages are expected to persist into 2027, raising ASPs and causing availability issues. Despite supply headwinds, demand remains strong, with switch refreshes and security concerns acting as growth catalysts, and modular switch form factors have seen unusual growth with smaller ASP increases.
