Straits Research published a report, “Global Time-Sensitive Networking Market Size & Outlook, 2026–2034”. According to the study, the global market size is valued at USD 355.9 million in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 7,151.3 million by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.5%.

Market Dynamics

The Time-Sensitive Networking market is propelled by the increasing need for deterministic communication in industrial automation, robotics, and mission-critical networks. Persistent rise in uptake of Industry 4.0 technology, such as real-time machine coordination, intelligent factories, and coordinated control of actuators, sensors, and autonomous systems, continues to drive TSN uptake. Growing use of edge computing and Ethernet-based automation platforms also enhances network reliability and ultra-low latency performance across industry verticals.

Government and industry-backed initiatives for safe industrial connectivity, growth of smart manufacturing programs in the United States, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, and fast-paced digitalization in transport and energy sectors are driving growth in the market. Furthermore, the use of TSN by car E/E architecture, i.e., in autonomous and software-defined cars, and in new electric and automated railway systems, is creating new commercialization opportunities for TSN vendors and technology providers worldwide.
