[169 Pages Report] The fiber optics market size is estimated to be USD 4.3 billion in 2019 and is projected reach USD 6.9 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 10.0% between 2019 and 2024. A fiber optic is a flexible, transparent fiber made of extruded glass (silica) or plastic which can function as a waveguide, or light pipe, to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. It is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide that transmits light along its axis, by the process of total internal reflection. Fiber optics include a transparent core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower index of refraction, through which the light travels by total internal reflection. This phenomenon causes the fiber to act as a waveguide.

Based on application, the fiber optics market has been segmented into communication (telecom, premises, utility, CATV, military, industrial) and non-communication (sensors and fiber optic lighting). The communication segment is estimated to be the largest application of the global fiber optic market.
The rising number of internet users is a major factor driving the growth of the fiber optics market in the communication segment. Moreover, the growth in telecom, premises, utility, and industrial sectors is driving growth of fiber optic market. Moreover, the massive population base of China and India is one of the major drivers for growth in the telecom market in the region, which in-turn is expected to drive the fiber optics market during the forecast period.
Glass is the largest fiber type of fiber optics due to its increasing demand from various applications. The high performance and easy availability of glass fiber optics is driving the glass fiber optics market. North America and Europe are mature markets. On the other hand, the markets in APAC and the Middle East & Africa are growing because of the rapid industrial growth in these regions.
The APAC fiber optics market is projected to be the largest during the forecast period. The growing industrialization and infrastructural development in the region have offered enormous opportunities for the use of fiber optics across various applications in APAC. The major fiber optics markets in APAC are China, Japan, India, Australia, and South Korea. China is the major hub for manufacturing activities, globally, and is also one of the largest in terms of number of internet users.
In addition, China is the most populous country in the world, which has resulted in the growth of applications, such as telecom, premises, utility, CATV, and industrial. Moreover, countries including India and South Korea are also witnessing significant growth rates on account of the growing industrial activities in the region.
The internet is a global system of connected devices. Fiber optics act as the backbone of the internet; optical fiber cables are used as the medium for transmitting information from one point to another. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), 51.2% of the global population was using internet in 2018. The growth rate of the number of internet users was around 45% in 2018. The growing importance of cloud computing, data transfer and storage, and IoT is driving the use of internet.
According to IEA (International Energy Agency), the number of internet users is expected to increase from 3.6 billion in 2018 to 5.0 billion by 2025. Moreover, the number of IoT connections is expected to increase from 7.5 billion in 2018 to over 25.0 billion by 2025.
IoT is an online integration of daily use devices (mostly machine-to-machine). The growing number of connected devices will result in greater demand for higher bandwidth, which will, in turn, result in the growth of IoT. Data center colocation services that use fiber optics to transfer information will also help to boost the growth of IoT. The demand for internet is also driven by several other factors such as an increase in the number of connected devices in homes, growth in demand for OTT video content, and the increase in internet access. All these factors have increased the number of internet users, which, in turn, has led to the increased use of optical fiber cables to transfer information over the Internet; this is driving the fiber optics market.
FTTx is any broadband network architecture that uses fiber optics as the optical medium to transmit information in a local loop used for last mile telecommunications. FTTx includes FTTH, FTTP, FTTB, FTTN, and FTTC. Fiber has evolved as an essential component for network evolution because of its ability to accommodate higher bandwidth with greater speeds. Communication applications are increasing rapidly, and each of them has features that require higher bandwidth and speed. Some of these advanced applications are video technology, OTT (over-the-top content), and IoT. The increase in use of these applications leads to the need for more network architectures such as FTTH and FTTB.
Video technology has the highest bandwidth consumption. Emerging super high definition (HD) video requires four times more bandwidth than the standard definition video. Entertainment provider companies such as Netflix (US) and Amazon Prime (US) have recommended at least 25 Mb/s speed to view super HD content over their streaming services. To provide high bandwidth for video technology, network architectures such as FTTH and FTTB are required to provide internet access; this, in turn, will drive the fiber optic market, which acts as the backbone for such network architectures. All these technological advancements in video quality and streaming services provide growth opportunities to fiber optic players.
OTT is the audio, video, and other media content delivered over the Internet without requiring users to subscribe to traditional cable or satellite pay-TV services. OTT is showing growth trends similar to that of video technology. Among the major OTT content providers are Hulu (US) and SlingTV (US).
IoT is known as the interconnection of computing devices, such as printers and video projectors, through the Internet, enabling them to send and receive data. It consists of connected devices containing sensors that control, direct, and collect data by using smart applications from each device. Examples of IoT include door locks, thermostats, wall electrical plugs, light switches and bulbs, intercoms, security cameras, and integrated control systems. These applications will require high-speed Internet services, which, in turn, will drive the fiber optics market, as these fibers act as the optical medium to transfer information in applications requiring the Internet.
The next generation of high bandwidth requiring applications, along with the proliferation of connected devices, will require faster and higher bandwidth networks, such as FTTH, FTTN, and FTTC, which use optical fiber cable for data transfer. This growth in the FTTx market will, in turn, drive the fiber optics market.
Wireless communication systems transmit information from one point to another using a microwave radio spectrum. The information is beamed from one central location to the receiving dishes. For wireless communication, radio frequency (RF) and fiber space optics (FSO) are the most commonly used techniques. The advantage of wireless communication over the use of fiber optics is that it requires less capital for installation. Another major benefit of RF and FSO is their non-interference with each other. Therefore, both the systems can be used together to increase efficiency in any application. Hybrid systems are used in many application areas, where the limitations of weather conditions and distance are compensated for by both technologies. Therefore, wireless communication systems are gaining momentum over fiber optics, especially in applications requiring a higher data transfer rate.
Wireless technology can be compared with fiber optics on different parameters such as bandwidth, CAPEX (Capital Expenditure), OPEX (Operating Expenditure), network extension, scalability, interference, security, and legal and regulatory issues.
