According to this market research report, the global optical isolator market will grow at a CAGR of over 6% during the period of 2016 to 2020. The rising number of “fiber to the x” (FTTx) connections will help in the increased adoption of optical isolators during the forecast period. Newly developed network architectures, implemented through FTTx, help reduce the installation price for high bandwidth services to the home. These architectures include FTTC or fiber to the curb, also called FTTN or fiber to the node, FTTH or fiber to the home, and FTTP or fiber to the premises, where premises may indicate homes, small businesses, or apartments. Since the FTTH network utilizes fiber optic cable to deliver high-speed service to homes, an increase in its preference will lead to the augmented demand for optical isolators during the estimated period.
In this market, analysts have also observed that many end-users have started migrating to the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) architecture. Recently, many optical transport networks (OTN) have started migrating towards the WDM architecture from synchronous optical networking (SONET technology) and DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing). This shift has allowed carriers to make significant cost reductions over the cost of deploying an overlay of multiple networks for each service offering or single channel networks. The benefits of this system include fault detecting, performance monitoring, and isolation of the wavelength.
This market is extremely competitive because of the strong position of the existing vendors. The intensive market capital makes it difficult for new players to enter the market. To survive in this intensely competitive market, vendors are constantly innovating and introducing new products, which cater to many unmet needs in the market. These companies have a wide geographical presence, which further helps them to sell their products worldwide.
Key players in this market are -
During 2015, the telecommunications segment dominated this market and accounted for an impressive market share of almost 74% by 2020. Much of this segment’s growth can be attributed to the growing LTE infrastructure. The ability of optical isolators to aid in the installation of fiber optic aerial cables outside plants or fuse fibers in underground cable installations will result in this market’s impressive growth during the estimated period.
At present, APAC dominates this market and will retain its market position until the end of 2020 owing to the high demand for fiber optic components from China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Additionally, factors like the increased penetration of low-cost 3G and 4G enabled smartphones coupled with the high demand for Internet protocol-based voice, data services, and video will also foster the prospects for market growth in this region.
