IPv4 Average Price Trends: September to October 2024 – APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE NCC

The IPv4 market continued to evolve in October 2024, with minor adjustments observed across regions, particularly in smaller subnets. Here’s an analysis of the main price shifts from September to October:

RIPE Region: RIPE NCC experienced slight price corrections in the smaller subnets, suggesting stabilization:

• The /24-/22 range dropped again from 31 to 30 EUR per IPv4 address.
• Prices for /21-/20 and /19-/18 subnets remained steady at 33 and 32 EUR/IP.
• The price for the /17 range remains unchanged at 38 EUR/IP.

APNIC Region: APNIC saw a minor rebound in the /24-/22 range, while other subnets held steady:

• The /24-/22 range rose from 24 to 25 EUR per IPv4 address after last month’s dip.
• The /21-/20 and /19-/18 subnets remained stable at 26 EUR/IP and 30 EUR/IP.

ARIN Region: ARIN saw a reduction in larger subnet prices:

• An average market price for the /24-/22 IPv4 subnets increased from 27 to 28 EUR per IPv4 address.
• Pricing for the /21-/20 and /19-/18 ranges remained consistent at 28 EUR and 31 EUR/IP, respectively.

Across regions, October showed mostly stable prices with minor adjustments, particularly in the smaller /24-/22 range in APNIC, where a slight price increase indicates potential demand recovery. Larger subnet prices stayed firm, suggesting steady market conditions for broader allocations.
