Fiber Optics Market: Segmented By Cable Type (Single-mode and Multi-mode): By Material Type (Plastic Optical Fiber, Glass Optical Fiber and Others): By Application (Telecom, Premises, Utility and Others): By End-user Industry (IT and Telecom, BFSI, Defense and Aerospace): Global Analysis by Market size, share & trends for 2020-2021 and forecasts to 2031
Fiber Optics Market to surpass USD 15.07 billion by 2031 from USD 8.28 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 6.16% within the coming years, i.e., 2021-31.
Fiber optics is the technology used to spread information as pulses of light through strands of fiber ended of glass or plastic over long distances. Fiber Optic is a flexible, transparent fiber prepared from extruded glass (silica) or plastic which can applied as a waveguide, or “light pipe,” to spread light between the two ends of the fiber. It is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide that spreads light along its axis, by the method of total inner reflection. Fiber optics comprise of a see-through core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower index of refraction, by which the light travels by total internal reflection. This phenomenon causes the fiber to turn as a waveguide.
The adoption of fiber optic cables to send signals with less amount of loss has increased over the period, which drives the growth of the market. Growing demand in FTTX and telecommunications business and technological advancements are chiefly responsible for the increased growth of the market.
Based on Material, the market is segmented into Plastic Optical Fiber, Glass Optical Fiber, and Others. The Glass segment holds the highest market share of Fiber Optics Market. The high performance and easy availability of glass fiber optics is driving the glass fiber optics market. North America and Europe are mature markets. Furthermore, the markets in APAC and the Middle East & Africa are mounting because of the swift industrial growth in these regions.
Fiber Optics Market by Application is segmented into Telecom, Premises, Utility, and Others. The market size of the Telecommunication segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing number of internet users is a major component driving the growth of the fiber optics market in the communication segment. Additionally, the growth in telecom, premises, utility, and industrial sectors is driving the growth of fiber optic market.
Increasing demand for internet
The internet is a worldwide system of connected devices. Fiber optics perform as the backbone of the internet. Optical fiber cables are used as the mediator for conveying data from one point to another. According to the reports, 55.6% of the world population uses internet. The growth rate of the number of internet users was around 45%. The rising importance of cloud computing, data transfer and storage, and IoT is driving the use of internet.
Growing need for FTTx
FTTx is any wideband network construction that uses fiber optics as the optical medium to spread data in a local loop used for last mile telecommunications. FTTx includes FTTH, FTTP, FTTB, FTTN, and FTTC. Fiber has changed as a vital component for network growth due to its capability to accommodate advanced bandwidth with greater speeds. Communication applications are growing rapidly, and each of them has features that require higher bandwidth and speed. Some of these progressive applications are video technology, OTT (over-the-top content), and IoT. The increase in use of these applications leads to the need for more network architectures such as FTTH and FTTB.
High investment cost
The early investments in Fiber Optics are quite high. Additionally, installation, connection, and maintenance also acquire higher costs. One of the main factors accountable for this high cost is the complication of the design of Fiber Optics. Furthermore, the cost of plastic and glass optical fiber used is very high. Thus, all these factors lead to the increased overall cost of Fiber Optics.
Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost every country around the world with the WHO declaring it a public health emergency. The global impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 are already starting to be felt, and will significantly affect the Fiber Optics Market in 2021. The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought effects on many features, like aircraft terminations; travel bans and quarantines; restaurants, cafes closed; all outdoor events restricted; over forty countries state of emergency declared; massive slowing of the supply chain; stock market instability; dropping business confidence, building panic among the population, and doubt about future.
