Global Fiber Optic Preform Market

Fiber Optic Preform Market Insights

The global fiber optic preform market is estimated to witness a high CAGR during the forecast period. Optic preforms are used to make optical fibers, which can potentially transmit data at high speed. Optical fibers are flexible transparent fiber cables made up of high-quality glass, plastic, and silica that operate on the principle of total internal reflection of light. Fiber optics are mostly used for light transmission and illumination, laser delivery systems, and flexible bundling. The 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 many industries.

Growing demand for high bandwidth communication is one of the prominent drivers for optical fibers and hence the preform market. Rise in data traffic in line with the continued proliferation of tablets, smart devices, laptops, and other portable devices is anticipated to further trigger the demand for optical fiber. The market is highly concentrated with a few well-established and multinational players in the lead and is equally competitive.

Fiber Optic Preform Market: By Process

The global fiber optic preform market can be segmented into Outside Chemical Vapor Deposition (OVD), Vapor Phase Axial Deposition (VAD), Plasma Activated Chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD), and Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD) on the basis of process. The OVD segment accounted for a significant market share and is expected to generate the highest revenue over the forecast period. The VAD segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period as well.

Fiber Optic Preform Market: By Type

On the basis of type, the global fiber optic preform market can be classified into single mode optic fiber, multi-mode optic fiber and plastic optical fiber.  The multi-mode segment is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period. Multi-mode uses a much wider core as compared to the single-mode and customarily uses a longer wavelength of light. Optical fibers used in multi-mode possess a higher competence to gather light from the laser source.

Fiber Optic Preforms Market: By End-user

On the basis of end user, the global fiber optic preform market can be classified into telecom, oil & gas, military & aerospace, BFSI, medical, railway, others. Telecom is expected to hold the largest market share and is projected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. Fiber optic is used in numerous military and aerospace applications, which require vigorous testing to test their endurance in harsh environments.

Fiber Optic Preforms Market: By Region

The global fiber optic preforms market in terms of region is dominated by Asia Pacific owing to increase of the telecom industry. Developing countries like China and India are the major users of the global fiber optic preforms. Recently, this has been due to the massive network construction projects of China’s telecom operators. North America is also expected to hold a significant market share in the fiber optic preform market.
