Harsh Environment Fiber Optic Components & Related Devices/Parts Technology And Market Forecast 2005-2012
|

The report provides a year-by-year forecast, 2005-2012, of consumption quantity, average price and value of harsh environment rated fiber optic components and their constituent parts and devices, for operation in military/aerospace and commercial application environments beyond commercial-application specifications, for each major region (America, Europe and Asia), plus a global summary. A competitive analysis is provided. Technology trends are forecasted.
The global consumption of harsh environment fiber optic components as defined for this period, will climb from $1.09 billion in 2005 and $2.02 billion in 2009 to $2.88 billion in 2012, as illustrated in the Figure below. The market value historically has been dominated by military/aerospace qualified components, with a 65 percent share in 2005, and declining to 54 percent or $1.56 billion by 2012, as shown in Figure below. The commercial/industrial fiber optic component consumption, in turn, is dominated by plastic optical fiber (POF) links.
METHODOLOGY
The conclusions of this study are based on interviews of developers and vendors of harsh environment rated fiber optic communication links and their constituent parts and devices developers/vendors, vendors/designers/producers of military/aerospace and commercial communication and weapon system equipment vendors, plus vendors of harsh environment qualified fiber optic components.
Electronicast Consultants forecasts are based on an analysis and forecast of the basic driving forces: security threats, technology, economics and govern¬mental action. The knowledge and experience of the analysts are critical factors in the final results of the programs. Research techniques include:
- Interviews of transceiver vendors, harsh environment fiber optic cable and connector developers/vendors, contractor/vendors of military/aerospace systems using fiber optic links, vendors of harsh environment qualified fiber optic components, military development laboratories, military/aerospace electronic equipment/system vendors, and other sources: in person and by telephone.
- Industry data review: technical publications, product literature and contract awards.
- Input/output trend analysis, relating demand and technology trends to user
and supplier industries.
- Electronicast Consultants’ data bases in supporting research areas.
The research for this program includes personal and telephone interviews with:
- Business and marketing managers at fiber optic component suppliers, both domestic and import, in North America, plus producers in Asia and Europe.
- Researchers involved in design of next-generation fiber optic transmitters, receivers and other fiber communication link components.
- Automotive industry vehicular data link developers/planners
There are numerous categories of military and aerospace equipments and systems, as well as commercial communication links, that must survive and operate in environmental conditions exceeding commercial telecom and datacom limits. This demand is met by vendors that have developed, and can manufacture, the extraordinary fiber optic components, parts and devices that can meet these requirements. The applications for these harsh environment-capable fiber links have grown steadily over the past quarter century, and this growth will continue.
