Cisco, Huawei, and Juniper Lead Network Infrastructure Sales Across Asia-Pac Region

SINGAPORE--(Marketwire - Jun 23, 2011) - Synergy Research Group announces the publication of its APAC country-level 1Q 2011 market share data for carrier routers, mobile internet infrastructure, content delivery networks, and cloud infrastructure. In conjunction with the launch of APAC country coverage, Synergy has established an office in Singapore.

Across the region Synergy sees strong growth in infrastructure sales, driven primarily by cloud, mobile internet, and video. In 2010, the market for APAC service provider routers posted double-digit year over year growth with the largest growth coming from India, China, and Australia. In 1Q 2011, Core Routers represented the fastest growing router segment posting revenue growth exceeding 15% over the first quarter of 2010. The top APAC router equipment vendors ranked by revenue were Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, ZTE, and Alcatel-Lucent. Excluding Greater China and Japan, Juniper surpasses Huawei for the number two position. Over the last eight quarters, Juniper and Huawei have generated the largest market share gains, increasing their competitive pressure on Cisco across the region.

Other infrastructure markets posting high double-digit gains included cloud infrastructure, mobile internet and content delivery networks, with the growth being driven by service providers investing to keep up with sharply increasing traffic demand as well as deploying new revenue generating services. In 1Q 2011, the highest level of such infrastructure investment came from Taiwan, Australia, South Korea, and Malaysia.

"We continue to see strong growth in service provider investment across all of APAC, from expanding the reach of broadband to the provisioning of advanced services such as content delivery networks, mobile internet and cloud-based services," said Jeremy Duke, Founder & Principal Analyst, Synergy Research Group. "Over the coming years we believe increasing demand for utility computing and next generation multimedia services will continue to drive aggressive investment and innovation, with sustainable growth being driven by some of the most robust and rapidly developing economies in the world."
