The global fiber optics market size is projected to reach USD 6.9billion by 2024,at a CAGR of 10.0%,from2019. A fiber optic is a flexible, transparent fiber made of extruded glass (silica) or plastic which can function as a waveguide, or “light pipe,” to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. It is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide that transmits light along its axis, by the process of total internal reflection. The growing need for Fiber To The x (FTTx), coupled with the increasing use of the internet across the globe, is driving the growth of the fiber opticsmarket, globally.
In fiber optics, data is transmitted from one point to another by using an optical cable, which acts as the backbone of the fiber optics technology. On the basis of the diameter of the cable, the most commonly used optical cables are single-mode and multi-mode. Single-mode is mainly used for applications requiring data transport over longer distances, such as telecom, CATV, and high-speed Local Area Network (LANs), while multi-mode is used for shorter distance applications, such as premises networks, industrial networks, and home networks.Growth in the telecom and CATV industries is expected to contribute to the growth of the single-mode cable fiber optics market. The Middle East & Africa is the fastest-growing market for the single-mode cable type segment.
An optical fiber cable is a thin strand of glass or plastic, which contains one or more optical fibers that are used to transmit data from one source to another. The elements of optical fiber are coated with plastic and deployed with a protective tube. They offer advantages over metal wires, such as greater bandwidth; immunity to interference from vibrations and electricity; and lightweight. The market for fiber optics, by type, is segmented into glass optical fiber and plastics optical fiber. Glass optical fiber is basically used in applications, such as telecom, CATV, high-speed LANs, and sensors. The demand from all these applications is a major driver of the dominance of glass fiber optics in the market.
