Rising adoption of Industry 4.0 and increasing demand for enhanced network connectivity are the factors driving the growth of the global communications interface market. Industry 4.0, a smart technology standard, has witnessed wide adoption in the manufacturing/production and related industries to boost the efficiency of operations. The adoption of industry 4.0 requires intelligent networking devices to communicate with each other. These devices are equipped with various communications interfaces to enable easy and continued communication, these benefits propel the demand for communications interface modules during the forecast period. 

The Cisco OptoStar II by Cisco Systems, Inc. is an intelligent communications interface module used for communication between each module and the bus of the network management system, and as an alarm for system failure. The module uses a standard 19-in OptoStar II chassis, which can hold both intelligent communications interface modules and other OptoStar II modules.

However, a lack of proper network infrastructure in developing countries is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. The market seeks opportunities from the advent of advanced and intelligent networking devices and the rising adoption of M2M and IoT communication technologies across various industry verticals.
