Fiber Optic Cable

The premier market analysis and ten-year forecast of global production, consumption and trade balance for fiber optic cable (singlemode/multimode). Forecasts will be presented for use in Telecommunications, Private Data Networks, Cable TV, Military/Aerospace, Specialty and Nonproduction applications. Market Share estimates and vendor profiles are presented in a detailed competitive analysis. Separate, detailed, quantitative forecasts are provided for each major world region along with subsidiary countries within these regions as follows:

• North America (US, Canada, Mexico)
• Japan & Pacific Rim (Japan, China, Korea,Taiwan, Australia, Other)
• South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Rest of South America)
• Europe (France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Rest of Europe)
• Rest-of-World

For each major region, for each year between 2000-2010, this consultant service forecasts the quantity, average price and value of singlemode and multimode fiber optic cable. Regions include North America, Europe, Japan/Pacific Rim, South America and Rest of World. Each regional forecast is segmented by application: Telecommunications, Private Data Networks, Cable TV, Military/Aerospace, Specialty and Nonproduction. In the competitive analysis chapter, market share of the significant suppliers of fiber cable is presented followed by detailed profiles. Over 100 graphics illustrate the conclusions and analysis.

The growth in cable consumption globally will be stimulated by favorable national economic policies, the growing trend toward telecom liberalization, declining cable prices and the explosion in bandwidth demand.

Fiber will continue to play a critical role in network expansion. New generations of fiber optimized for various performance requirements are being introduced at a rapid pace to keep up with the exponential increase in data carrying capacity of new networks. Global consumption of fiber optic cable annual average growth of 10 percent is forecasted over the next five years, 2000-2005, as shown below. This includes both submarine as well as terrestrial cable deployment.
