This is the forecast of global consumption and technology trends of fiber optic connectors and mechanical splices. The publisher believes clients will find this report useful for planning of product and market development. Historical estimated data are presented for 2020, plus the year-by-year forecast through 2030

This analysis and forecast and of America, EMEA and APAC regional consumption is presented for selected fiber optic connector and mechanical splice used in selected communication applications. The forecast for each connector type, in turn, is segmented into each geographical region.听

The information is presented in easy-to-follow illustrations and text. A global summary also is provided. The report also outlines the market research methodology followed. There are over 120 vendors competing for the global fiber optic connector/mechanical splice market, which the publisher tracks in a product matrix showing participation in the following: connectors, cable assemblies, optical backplanes, and fiber optic installation apparatus; however, is dominated by a few companies that have a broad base in various interconnect products.听

Connectors and Applications Covered in this Study听

The connector market forecast is built up from specific segments. The three major categories: single-mode, multimode and mechanical splices are further broken down as shown in Table 1.听

The end applications for the selected fiber optic connectors discussed in this study report are itemized in Table 2.听

  • SC Simplex
  • Small Form Factor (SFF) Simplex Connector
  • LC Simplex听
  • SFF Other Simplex
  • Adapter
• 听Multichannel/Multifiber Connector
  • MT / Other听
  • SFF Duplex Connector
  • SFF Duplex LC

Note:听In previous market forecasts, the publisher counted all small form factor (SFF) connectors (LC and 鈥渙ther) as simplex units; however, in this forecast they have added separate line items for LC and OTHER (SFF) duplex units. (In previous forecasts, they counted one SFF connector as two simplex connectors).

Information Base for the 麻豆原创 Forecast

Primary Research - This study is based on analysis of information obtained continually since 1985, but updated through the end of April of 2021. During this period, analysts performed interviews with authoritative and representative individuals in the fiber optics industry plus telecommunications, datacom, military/ aerospace and other communication industries, instrumentation/ laboratory - R&D and factory/manufacturing, from the standpoint of both suppliers and users of 40/100GbE MPO (and other) fiber optic connectors. The interviews were conducted principally with:

Engineers, marketing personnel and management at manufacturers of fiber optic connectors, couplers/splitters, isolators, OADMs, DWDM, photonic/ Ethernet switches, modulators, collimators, mechanical splice, attenuators, transceivers and receivers, as well as laser diodes and photodiodes, application-specific ICs, packages, ferrules and cables, substrate materials, AWGs/optical waveguide and other components used in the fabrication of optoelectronic transceivers, cable assemblies, test/measurement equipment, splice equipment and installation apparatus

Design group leaders, engineers, marketing personnel and market planners at major users and potential users of cable, cable assemblies, connectors, installation apparatus, passive devices and transceivers, such as telecommunication transmission, switching and distribution equipment producers, data communications equipment producers (switches, hubs, routers), computer and workstation producers, weapon system, aircraft and spacecraft electronic equipment producers, optical instrumentation system producers and others

Other industry experts, including those focused on standards activities, trade associations, and investments听

The interviews covered issues of technology, R&D support, pricing, contract size, reliability, documentation, installation/maintenance crafts, standards, supplier competition and other topics. Customers of Fiber optic connectors & splices also were interviewed, to obtain their estimates of quantities received and average prices paid, as a crosscheck of vendor estimates. Customer estimates of historical and expected near term future growth of their application are obtained. Their views of use of new technology products were obtained.听

The analyst then considered customer expectations of near-term growth in their application, plus forecasted economic payback of investment, technology trends and changes in government regulations in each geographical region, to derive estimated growth rates of quantity and price of each product subset in each application. These forecasted growth rates are combined with the estimated baseline data to obtain the long-range forecasts at the lowest detailed level of each product and application.

Secondary Research -听A full review of published information was also performed to supplement information obtained through interviews. The following sources were reviewed:

• Professional technical journals and papers; Trade press articles
• Technical conference proceedings; Product literature
• Company profile and financial information
• Additional information based on previous market studies听
• Personal knowledge of the research team

In analyzing and forecasting the complexities of the North American market for optical interconnect products, it is essential that the market research team have a good and a deep understanding of the technology and of the industry. The publisher members who participated in this report were qualified.

Coronavirus Adjustment May 2021听- The coronavirus pandemic remains a grave concern throughout the world. In some countries, all 鈥渘on-essential鈥� businesses are closed, employment is affected by quarantine of the public. Depending on political, economic, health and several other consideration factors, these restrictions could be extended several more months. Because of the impact on production, supply, decreases in sales, slowdowns in marketing, shipment and implementation (and other) caused by the negative effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we estimated a slowdown in consumption in 2020; however, driven by the immediate need to expand bandwidth in multiple applications, we are forecasting an increasingly strong recovery.听
