The U.S. business market for wireline data remained steady with year-over-year average gains of roughly two percent, says In-Stat. The education vertical is seeing the highest spending gains, while construction is faring the worst growth. The healthcare and social services vertical market spent $5.5 billion on wireline data services in 2009. Retail and trade will spend over $3 billion on Ethernet services in 2012.
The overall market reflects a spending shift to Ethernet at the expense of both the ATM and frame relay markets, as you might guess. The frame relay market will shrink 57 percent, while Ethernet spending will exceed $18 billion by 2014.
Small business spending will grow at a greater rate over the next five years than any other size of business segment, In-Stat says.
