China FiberCOM 2000Product Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: Information Gatekeepers Inc Published: January 1999 Product Code: R403-25 Description This valuable package of market research and analysis helps foreign optical fiber, fiber optic cable and equipment manufacturers capture a share of China's dynamic fiber optics market. "China FiberCOM 2000" includes five research reports, a subscription to the "China Telecom" newsletter, "Marketing and Sales Guide in Fiber Optics in China" and 10 hours of consulting.
This report provides an overview of China's fiber optics market. It outlines the telecom market structure and the network deployment of China Telecom, Unicom, private Ministries and CATV networks. It covers the demand and supply of optical fiber, fiber optic cable and SDH and DWDM equipment. Government development plans and market forecasts are provided. The report also provides contact information of service providers and key equipment manufacturers. China Telecom has been concentrating their fiber deployment efforts on the backbone networks. As a result of the large investment, China has completed the 8-horizontal and 8-vertical fiber optic backbones at the end of 1998 with a total length of 173,000-route km. The fiber backbone network has covered all the 31 mainland provincial capitals and SDH and DWDM equipment has been widely deployed in the backbones. China's transport network is divided into four different layers: inter-province long-haul network (layer 1), intra-province long haul network (layer 2), junction network (layer 3) and access network (layer 4). Report 2 covers the development and market of the inter- and intra-province long haul networks. The report presents network layout, node location, route capacity and fiber counts on each route. The market for SDH and DWDM equipment is analyzed with market forecast till 2010. It presents the market shares of the major SDH and DWDM equipment suppliers in China, including Lucent, Nortel, Alcatel, NEC, Marconi, Siemens, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Nokia, ECI, Huawei, Zhongxing and Wuhan Research Institute, among others. The market for optical fiber and fiber optic cable in 1998 reached U.S. $600 million and U.S. $200 million respectively. IGI forecasts show the demand for optical fiber will reach 5.8 million fiber km in 1999 and 7 million fiber km in the year 2000. Although the supply of fiber optic cables in China greatly exceeds market demand, much of the fiber used has been imported. Report 3 examines the demand and supply of optical fiber and fiber optic cable markets in China. Based on the network construction plans of China Telecom, Provincial PTAs, China Unicom, Private Ministries and CATV operators, the demand for fiber and fiber optic cables is estimated with forecast to the year 2010. The supply of fiber and cable by domestic fiber and cable joint ventures and Chinese companies is analyzed. The major fiber and cable manufacturers studied include: Yangtze (Changfei) Optical Fiber and Cable Company in Wuhan, Shanghai Lucent, Xi'an Xigu, Wuhan Research Institute, Shenzhen Guangtong, Chengdu Sumitomo, and Nanjing Huaxin-Fujikura, Shanghai Huaxin, Chengdu Siemens, Beijing Lucent and others. Fiber optics has been deployed in quantity in China's junction networks and it is beginning to be deployed in the access networks. In the next few years, more fiber will be deployed in metro and access networks than in the backbones. Major market opportunities exist in these areas for fiber, cable and equipment manufacturers. Report 4 covers the development and market opportunities of fiber optics in metro and access telecom networks. The development plans of major eastern provinces and cities in China, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, are presented. Market potential and opportunities for fiber, cable, SDH and DWDM equipment will be analyzed. In addition to China Telecom, Provincial PTAs and China Unicom, there are several other ministries that are major users of fiber optic systems. These users include the Ministry of Railways, State Power Bureau, State Petroleum Bureau, Ministry of Public Security and the State Bureau of Radio, Film and TV. By the end of 1998, China had 80 million CATV subscribers, and many CATV operators are upgrading their networks using fiber optics. Report 5 presents the opportunities of fiber optics in the private and CATV networks. It gives an overview on the development of fiber optics in these networks and their future network development plans. Key CATV network operators will be profiled, with complete contact information. The market for fiber, cable, SDH and DWDM equipment in CATV and private networks is also analyzed. The fiber optics market in China is huge, but it is not easy to penetrate even for the established large companies; that is, without IGI's "Marketing and Sales Guide in Fiber Optics in China". This guide outlines the procurement process of fiber optic systems in China and identify the end users such as the Post and Telecom Appliances Corporations, the relevant departments at China Telecom, China Unicom, the Ministry of Railways, the State Power Bureau, the Ministry of Public Security, Provincial Post and Telecom Administrations, and Provincial CATV stations. The guide also lists the joint ventures and domestic manufacturers of optical fiber, fiber optic cable and SDH and DWDM equipment. Complete contact information in both Chinese and English is listed, including contact person, phone, fax, company address and in some cases mobile phones. The guide is not simply a fiber optics directory; it is a key to entering the Chinese fiber optics market. A monthly newsletter covering the latest development in the telecom and fiber optics market in China. China Telecom Newsletter provides the latest news and analysis on telecom policy, regulation, government plans, major projects, procurements, contact awards, Chinese manufacturers, trade shows and conferences. Subscribers of the China FiberCOM 2000 will have 10 hours of consulting time to call IGI telecom analysts regarding the fiber optics and the telecom markets in China. |
