Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for internet
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.
Growing need for FTTx
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 optics 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
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.
