| June 2, 2009
According to a newly published report by Dell’Oro Group, the worldwide router market declined 23 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2009 as the global recession weakened sales across all geographical regions and market segments. The report includes a forecast for 2009 that indicates the router market declining for the first time in seven years. The year-over-year decline in 2009 is expected to approach that of 2001, the year of the bursting dot-com bubble.
Accounting for more than 90 percent of the worldwide router revenue are the top four vendors, in ranked order: Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, Alcatel-Lucent and Huawei.
