A PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) switch is a high-speed interconnect device that manages data traffic between CPUs, GPUs, memory, and storage in computing systems. It enables scalable, low-latency communication essential for performance-critical applications like AI training, real-time analytics, autonomous driving, and 5G infrastructure.
As data workloads explode and latency becomes a bottleneck, PCIe switches are no longer optional; they’re foundational. From hyperscale data centers to smart factories and connected vehicles, PCIe switches ensure seamless, high-bandwidth data flow that keeps modern digital ecosystems running.
According to BIS Research, PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) switch market was valued at $769.4 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $14,460.6 million by 2034, growing at a staggering CAGR of 36.16%.
