Description Jump to:
The global fiber optic preform market size is expected to reach USD 24.44 billion in 2030, registering a CAGR of 22.6% from 2023 to 2030, according to the report. Benefits associated with optical communication have encouraged intensive R&D into the fiber optics technology, which in turn has resulted in several innovations enabling the application of optical fibers in a myriad of industries other than telecommunications. These industries include healthcare, railway, defense and aerospace, and oil and gas. This factor is anticipated to bode well for the overall market growth in near future.

Growing adoption of optical fibers has resulted in a looming shortage of optical fiber preform. This, in turn, has culminated in a shortage of fiber, thereby triggering the price of telecom fiber. For example, telecom fiber price increased by more than 10% to 20% during 2017. The situation has prompted manufacturers of optical fiber preform to increase their production capacity. Several companies went on to announce projects to expand their existing preform facilities and to invest in new preform facilities at the beginning of 2017.

Several such capacity expansion projects are already underway in U.S., China, and India. Capacity expansion projects undertaken by prominent manufacturers, such as Corning Incorporated and Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company, are expected to help reduce the supply gap. These projects are expected to add up to 3,000 tons of preform capacity capable of supporting up to 55 to 90 million km of new fiber capacity.

China happens to be one of the largest consumers in the fiber optic preform market. In July 2018, government of China announced the continuation of anti-dumping duties on fiber optic preform originating in U.S. and Japan for a further 5-year period. The move is aimed at protecting the Chinese fiber optic preform companies and at encouraging the local manufacturers to invest more into R&D and production expansion.

Fiber Optic Preform Market Report Highlights

  • More than 50% of optical fiber used for telecommunication applications is manufactured using VAD method
  • Multi-mode fiber accounted for the largest market share in 2018. However, plastic optical fiber segment is expected to expand at the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2030
  • China happens to be the world's largest fiber optic preform producer accounting for over 50% of global production
  • Manufacturers invest aggressively in R&D initiatives. For instance, in October 2017, Rosendahl Nextrom opened a new preform R&D center in Vantaa, Finland. The facility would develop new technologies that can potentially augment the production performance

About the Fiber Optic Preform Market

In the context of optoelectronics, a fiber optic preform is a cylindrical piece of glass that is the precursor to an optical fiber. This preform is later heated and drawn into fiber-optic threads used for transmitting data in telecommunications and other applications reliant on high-bandwidth and low signal loss, such as medical imaging systems, sensors, and internet infrastructure. The quality and characteristics of the preform largely determine the properties of the final optical fiber, influencing its efficiency, transmission capacity, and reliability. Materials commonly used in the production of preforms include silica and various dopants that alter the refractive index of the glass to precisely control light transmission. The preform manufacturing process typically involves one of several methods, such as Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD), Vapor Axial Deposition (VAD), or Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD). Several companies are notable participants in the fiber optic preform market, contributing to the provision of essential materials for the optoelectronic industry with their products and innovations. Among these are Corning Inc., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Prysmian Group, and Fujikura Ltd. Each of these companies has established a presence in the market through their expertise in materials science and the development of technologies that facilitate advancements in the production and quality of fiber optic preforms.
