World Fiber Optic Test Equipment (FOTE) Markets 2009
Frost & Sullivan, Feb 2009, Pages: 135
This research service provides in-depth analysis of the world fiber optic test equipment (FOTE) market.
Market Overview
Demand for bandwidth is the Key to the Growth of the Fiber Optic Test Equipment Market, Avers Frost & Sullivan
The optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) and the optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) markets have had leading growth rates in the world FOTE markets. While the overall market witnessed a decline in 2008 due to the economic recession, growth rates are projected to pick up by 2009. “The demand for fiber to the home (FTTH) is more than the need for testing fiber optic cables and is the main factor driving the demand for testing equipment,” says the analyst of the research. “The number of houses installed with fiber in the United Kingdom is expected to cross four million by 2013.”
The demand for higher bandwidth and FTTH is the main growth driver for FOTE products. The need for FOTE products will rise in the future with the progress of next generation networks and other new technologies. The evolution of reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) is a key trend accelerating the demand for fiber optic testing. “There is mounting pressure from customers on manufacturers to bring down the price of products; customers expect equipment with more features at a lower cost,” explains the analyst. “In the current economic situation, this will reduce the manufacturers’ profit margins.”
As the FOTE market is mature, it is vital to identify emerging technologies and growth opportunities as early as possible in order to expand or even maintain market share. Reduced product innovation and fewer product features will make survival in this market difficult. “FOTE manufacturers should be able to quickly assess the needs of their customers and find solutions,” concludes the analyst. “In this mature market, manufacturers should strengthen ties with existing customers and expand their customer base.”
