Competition from Wireless Likely to be Negated by Expansion of Wave Division Multiplexing and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Underdeveloped countries prefer wireless networks to fiber optics, a fact that poses concerns about the future of optical products in the fiber optics market. Moreover, the rate of technology development in wireless is expected to be more than that of fiber optics and this could mitigate the growth of optical products. However, the growth of wave division multiplexing (WDM) and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is likely to aid in market growth.
This Frost & Sullivan research service presents an in-depth look into optical products in the fiber optics market. It includes revenue forecasts by product segment and also details market trends. This study also discusses potential industry challenges and market drivers as well as restraints and includes strategic recommendations for market participants.
Development of Infrastructure in Asia Pacific to Drive Demand for Fiber Optic Networks
"The nature of businesses in Asia Pacific is such that they require fiber optics. For such businesses, information is critical and therefore, companies hesitate to purchase low-priced networks, since it could force a compromise on quality of communication or data transfer," says the analyst of this study. "Also, as demand for higher bandwidth emerges, vendors are expected to develop user-friendly products such as the reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) and optical emitters."
Unlike Latin America, some countries in Asia Pacific have better infrastructure to support fiber optic systems. As a result, there is intense competition among network deployers to cash in on this opportunity. This scenario is even more profitable to fiber optic enterprises, as they are not dissuaded by high costs of investment once they are assured of better optical component products. Products vendors based in the West can take advantage of this situation and increase their profits.
The Success of ROADMs Attracts Increased Investment, Boosting this Market
Many investors foresee a bright future for ROADMs and although the initial investment required for deploying this technology is high, several market participants are willing to pool in funds in order to meet these costs. This highlights the immense potential of this product in the coming years and with several ROADMs already successfully deployed, there seems to be no turning back for this technology.
"In addition, as the fiber optics market expands, certain product lines such as laser diodes, erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), and ROADMs should experience higher investments for the innovation of new products in existing technologies," notes the analyst. "Apart from inventive products, certain technical changes in older solutions such as optical amplifiers and connectors are also expected to spur the market."

Market Sectors
Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research:
By Product:
- Optical emitter
- Optical amplifiers
- Optical switches
- Optical connectors
- ROADMs
Technologies
The following technologies are covered in this research:
- Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Networking: DWDM uses a number of wavelengths in one optical fiber, which allows the transmission of multiple data as well as audio and video channels while enhancing transport systems and maintaining the performance of the system.
- Optical Amplifiers: It is an optical amplifier used to boost light signals in optical fiber networks. It amplifies the light signal in itself, unlike regenerators, which convert light to electricity in order to amplify it.
- Optical Connectors: It is a demountable device used to attach an active device such as a transmitter to a cabled or uncabled optical fiber.
