Global use of handheld OTDRs and associated devices reach $407.33 million in 2018

Optical Fiber Testing - An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. The optical-time domain reflectometer is considered at the core of fiber optic characterization. 

This report provides our estimates and forecast of global consumption of hand-held OTDR fiber optic test units, associated supplemental (add-on) modules, and Multi-Test Platforms, which are initially used with OTDR add-on modules.


This report provides an analysis (review) and a 10-year forecast (2021-2031) of the worldwide market consumption segmented into the following geographic regions:


  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific Region (APAC)
    • China (Mainland)
    • Rest of Asia Pacific


  • Rest of the World                                        

The global market is segmented into the following major application categories:


  • Telecommunications
  • Private Enterprise Networks
  • Cable TV
  • Military
  • Specialty (Sensor, Industrial, Laboratory, rental units, other applications and non-specific/miscellaneous)

The optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is used as a troubleshooting device to find faults, splices, and bends in fiber optic cables, with an eye toward identifying light loss. Light loss is especially important in fiber optic cables because it can interfere with the transmission of data. An OTDR can detect such light loss and pinpoint trouble areas, facilitating the maintenance and repair process.


  • Last year, Telecommunications applications, led in relative market share of the worldwide consumption value of handheld OTDRs and multi-test units with initial OTDR use and add-on OTDR modules.
  • The fastest annual growth, however, is forecasted for the consumption of OTDRs in the Private Networks, due to the increase optical fiber deployment in LANs (local area networks), campus (LAN extension inter-building, LAN-to-LAN and redundant lines), and (very large) Data Centers (DCs), driven by critical high-speed data applications. Private networks require an OTDR solution to accommodate a single-mode or multimode application and test scenario from relatively short to longer distances. With the exception of Military, the publisher counts the use of OTDRs by the Government sector in the Private Network category.
  • Cable TV operations, Military/Aerospace applications, as well as various specialty/other applications are also quantified in this report of the study. The publisher defines the use of handheld OTDRs in Specialty applications, as units testing the deployment of Sensors, which are not used in the other applications). Specialty applications also include the use of OTDRs in used in Industrial, Laboratory, rental units, other applications and non-specific/miscellaneous.

Product Categories covered in this market forecast:


  • OTDR devices, including pre-installed (initial) capability (embedded/dedicated or module); this category includes multiple test function units, which includes OTDR capabilities
  • Supplementary OTDR modules, which can be added-on (plug into) existing handheld OTDR or multiple test function units/platform devices

The market forecast data are segmented by the following functions:


  • Consumption Value (US$, million)
  • Quantity (number/by 1,000 units)
  • Average Selling Prices (ASP $, each)
