Optical Communications Market Update

Lightcounting, July 2010, Pages: 57

A decade after the telecom bubble burst and a few quarters after the most recent economic downturn, there is a perception that an industry-wide optical upgrade cycle is starting at last. All segments of the optical networking equipment and components market, including telecom, enterprise, and storage area networks showed clear signs of recovery in late 2009 and early 2010. Analysis of publicly reported revenues of equipment vendors combined with confidential sales data of optical components and modules, offer a unique insight into market dynamics, presented in this report.

The report also presents analysis of network bandwidth growth calculated from data on shipments of optoelectronic interface modules employed in telecom, enterprise, and storage area networks. This approach to tracking the market offers an effective method for identifying timing and scope of infrastructure upgrade cycles, technology transitions, and even product life cycles.

In addition to in-depth market analysis, this report offers summaries of the latest business developments and financial performance for 19 leading equipment manufacturers. It also includes sales data on more than 100 product categories covering Q1 2009 to Q1 2010 for SONET/SDH, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, CWDM, DWDM, and FTTx transceivers, parallel modules, and active optical cables. It also discusses guidance for the rest of 2010 and potential changes to market forecast published in March 2010. Data for the report was provided by more than 25 leading module and component vendors.
