Fiber Optic Connector Market Forecast from ElectroniCast (2020-2030)

 

According to ElectroniCast, the worldwide fiber optic connector & mechanical splice consumption value reached $4.18 billion in 2020…

 May 9, 2021 -- ElectroniCast Consultants (founded in 1981), a leading market & technology forecast consultancy addressing the fiber optics communications industry, today announced the release of its market forecast and analysis of the use of fiber optic connectors and mechanical splices in communication applications. 

 10-Year Market Forecast - The global fiber optic connector and mechanical splice consumption value reached an estimated $4.18 billion in 2020. The consumption is forecast to increase with moderate to mature rising quantity growth slightly offset by declining average selling prices.  In the year 2025, the worldwide consumption value is forecast to reach $5.19 billion, and then forecasted to increase to nearly $5.59 billion in the year 2030.[1]  Note: Market forecast data in this study refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.

Pushed by the use of multimode connectors in private data networks, the American region was the leader in global consumption value last year (2020); however, both the EMEA and the APAC regions are forecast to achieve faster annual growth versus the American region, during the next decade. 

Because of the impact on production, supply, decreases in sales, slowdowns in marketing, shipment and implementation (and other) caused by the negative effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the consultancy estimated a slowdown in consumption in 2020; however, driven by the immediate need to expand bandwidth in multiple applications, they are forecasting an increasingly positive recovery.

Fiber optic connector use (value) in the Telecommunications application is forecast to increase at an annual growth rate of 6.6 percent (2020-2025), driven by access network fiber deployment (FTTx) and wireless/mobile backbone infrastructure, such as 5G; and then the annual growth rate is set to increase at a slower pace during the 2nd-half at the forecast period. Fiber-to-the x (FTTx) is a generic term for any broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide all or part of the local loop used for last-mile telecommunications.

Fiber optic connector and mechanical splice units are also used in a variety of Military/ Aerospace applications requiring rigorous testing and harsh environment fiber optic certification to ensure reliability and performance in the field.  Fiber optic technology is used for a wide variety of air, sea, ground, and space applications.  Connectors with polarization keys and keyways must be manufactured to exacting tolerances to reduce radial misalignment and insertion loss. In addition to telecommunications, cable TV, and private data networks, fiber optic connectors are used in specialty industrial applications, such as medical/science, automotive, oil/gas, underwater, industrial, sensors and other user groups.

The global fiber optic connector consumption is driven by the continued increase in bandwidth demand beyond the limits of copper.  As optical fiber use migrates closer and closer to the end-user, where cable lengths are shorter with higher fiber counts, the requirements for jointing fibers become more critical. Splicing and connecting, play a significant role in a network’s cost and performance.

There are over 120 vendors competing for the global fiber optic connector/mechanical splice market, which ElectroniCast tracks, using a product matrix showing vendor participation in several fiber optic interconnect product segments.

Report Description

April (2021) – This is the ElectroniCast analysis and forecast of global market consumption of LED-based hazardous location luminaires (explosion-proof and other evaluation levels). 

Unsafe lighting is one of the most common potential sources of ignition causing an explosion.  Working environments that contain explosive gases or dust are extremely volatile environments. A variety of luminaires (light fixture + LED light source) are available that are considered suitable for hazardous locations, since they prevent any possible ignition sources from being exposed to the air. In various lighting applications, hazardous locations are defined as areas that are at risk of fire or explosion due to the combined presence of electrical equipment and flammable gases or vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dusts, ignitable fibers, or other substances. 

In the process of this market research project, in addition to interviewing existing customers and potential customers of LED-based hazardous location lighting, we also studied lighting manufactures with various ranges of hazardous area lighting products. The luminaires are designed for locations where explosive gases and dusts are found, providing suitable lighting without enabling a risk of explosion.

The emergence of solid-state lighting (SSL) light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the general lighting industry continues to push lighting-industry vendors, as well as end-users, to consider innovative solutions (new products) to adopt hazardous location LED lighting solutions.

Solution-Level Quantified in this Study - Below, are five levels (or “food chain”) pertaining to the LED marketplace.  For the purposes of this ElectroniCast study, we quantify and provide a market forecast for Level 5. 

 - Level 1 - The bare chip or die

- Level 2 - The packaged LED chip

- Level 3 – LED array, optics, boards (PCB), heat sink, driver, other components

- Level 4 – Lamp/Light source

- Level 5 – Luminaires (light fixture, initial lamp/light source, inclusive fittings/brackets)   


The following regions are quantified in this study report:

·         America (North, Central and South America)

·         EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)

·         APAC (Asia Pacific)

 This report provides the market forecast (2020-2030) by the following functions:

 ·         Consumption Value (US$)

·         Quantity (number/units) – (Million)

·         Average Selling Prices ($, each)

Some luminaire (fixture and lamp) styles do not necessarily fit in the General-Area, Linear of Flashlight categories; therefore, they are placed in the “Specialty or Miscellaneous” category.  ElectroniCast also places the Panel-style of flood lamp/ luminaire device in this last category.  The Panels, especially, often use a larger number of component LEDs per lamp panel versus the number of LEDs used in other lamp-types. 

This analysis and forecast of global market consumption of LED-based hazardous location (explosion-proof and other) luminaires (light fixture, initial lamp/light source, inclusive fittings/brackets); external/separate electrical (cord) installation apparatus and LED replacement lamps are not included in the volume and average selling prices (ASPs) market data.

The value is then based on the end-use application and the end-use region.  The assumed prices are the estimated or forecasted average prices paid during the indicated calendar year.  These are the original manufacturer’s (“factory”) prices invoiced to the first (original) customer (OEM, distributor, wholesale, retail, end-user, and other), or transfer prices for internal (captive) production. 

They take into account the typical purchase quantities and related quantity discounts, as well as the variation in performance specifications between one user and another.  The costs of supplier testing, qualification, documentation and other ancillary costs are included in the price calculation.  The price for any particular purchase may vary widely from the average, depending on quantity, multiple-year contracts, specifications and competitive bidding pressures.

During the market research process, ElectroniCast analysts perform interviews with authoritative and representative individuals in the LED and lighting industry, plus – R&D and industrial/factory/manufacturing, from the standpoint of both suppliers and users of explosion-proof and other harsh environment LED lighting products.

Market Forecast Product Categories   This market forecast of the worldwide consumption is presented for four (4) major lamps (with luminaire/fixture)-type categories, as shown below:

·         Spot, Flood and General-Area

·         Linear: Tube and String/Strip

·         Portable: Flashlights, Wearable, and Other Portables

·         Specialty, Panel and Miscellaneous

Market Forecast Sub-Application Categories            This market forecast of the worldwide consumption for LED luminaires used in hazardous location lighting is presented for four (4) major end-user group (sub-application) categories, as shown below:

 ·         Power Plants, Pumping Stations, Substations

·         Military Bases, Airports, Other Transportation Facilities

·         Gas Stations, Paint-Spray Booths, Other Commercial/Industrial, Other/Non-Specific

·         Oil Fields, Oil Refineries, Offshore Oil Platforms, Oil Tanks, Tunnels, Wharf, Mining, and other

      Hazardous location (explosion-proof and other) LED lighting solutions, offer improved vision and safety in industrial areas where the danger of explosion is higher due to the nature of the activity.  Hazardous location LED lighting products are used on a large scale in mines, oil fields and also in various industrial and commercial, military, and other applications where highly inflammable and explosive substances are present.

 The risk of explosion in some work environments requires the need to use specific solutions. Specially designed hazardous location LED lighting provides is often underestimated. Mixtures of gas, air or dust can actually cause life-threatening explosions and cause extensive harm to your employees and the plant. The incorrect assumption is often made that the danger of explosion is more or less exclusive to the chemical industry. Dust from timber, animal feed, food-stuffs or plastics can also cause an explosion. Unsafe lighting is one of the most common potential sources of ignition.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for technical use recommends the term luminaires.  Light fixtures (US English), light fittings (UK English), or luminaires are electrical devices used to create artificial light by use of an electric lamp. Most luminaires have a fixture body and a light socket to hold the lamp and allow for its replacement.

 Luminaires require an electrical connection to a power source, typically AC mains power, but may also have battery power for portable (flashlights/torches and wearable headlights) and emergency lights. Permanent lighting fixtures may be directly wired. Moveable lamps have a plug and cord so that they can be plugged into power source in a safe area or apparatus.

 Luminaires may also have other features, such as reflectors for directing the light, an aperture (with or without a lens), an outer shell or housing for lamp alignment and protection, electrical ballast or power supply, and a cover to diffuse the light or direct it towards a workspace. In technical terminology, the lamp is the light source, which is typically called the light bulb or globe.

             This report provides the research findings of our study of the global consumption of Light Emitting Diode (LED) luminaires in hazardous location applications.  The term "solid state" refers to the fact that light in a light emitting diode is emitted from a solid object, which does not contain moving parts or parts that can break, rupture, shatter, leak or contaminate the environment —a block of semiconductor—rather than from a vacuum or gas tube, as is the case in traditional incandescent light bulbs (lamps) and fluorescent lamps.  Compared to incandescent lighting, LED-based solid-state lighting (SSL) delivers visible light with reduced heat. In addition, its solid-state nature provides for greater resistance to shock, vibration, and wear, thereby significantly increasing its lifespan.

 

            Coronavirus Adjustment             April 2021 – The coronavirus pandemic remains a grave concern throughout the world. In some countries, all “non-essential” businesses are closed, employment is affected by quarantine of the public.  Depending on political, economic, health and several other consideration factors, these restrictions could be extended several more months.  Because of the impact on production, supply, decreases in sales, slowdowns in marketing, shipment and implementation (and other) caused by the negative effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we estimated a slowdown in consumption in 2020 and we are forecasting a sluggish recovery for one or more years.

             ElectroniCast methodology in determining the slowdown of the increase in consumption (use) of LED luminaires used in explosive-proof lighting, begins with the volume (quantity) forecast before any considerations of the coronavirus impact.  Then, we evaluated current manufacturing (not only luminaires, but all relative components, products and services), inventory, distribution channels, shipping, logistics, sales/marketing channels, installation and maintenance, and user restrictions, with the emphasis on actual possibility of installations for both essential and non-essential or selective implementation of communication networks or other. Other considerations include: financial/economy in general, employment (staffing) of all levels, such as design, implementation, production, marketing/sales, management, OEM capability and product/service demand, distributors, sales agents, customers (at all levels), and many other concerns were considered.

    Market Dynamics   The study process by ElectroniCast Consultants takes into account the following points:

 

  • Standards (including general regulations & standards, environmental issues, etc.)
  • Policies and schemes for promoting the penetration of LED lighting
  • Industry trends in LED lighting fixtures
  • Distribution/Sales Channel
  • Competitive environment is considered / Intellectual property and patents

 This industry sector, excluding the use of LED solutions, is product-oriented mature; therefore, the established (incumbent) end-users already have relatively expensive legacy hazardous location luminaires (lighting fixtures with light source) installed, using High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps), fluorescent or other (incandescent) lighting technology; however, pushed to the marketplace with strong incentives (operating costs/savings) and successful sales-efforts, the acceptance of LED-based lighting solutions is in the growth stage of the product life cycle.

 

Product life Cycle Increasingly, the automatic assembly and test manufacturing process for LED solid-state lighting products allow for mass-production capability.  In addition, over the next few years, the average selling prices of LED-based lighting products will be driven lower, as a result of production efficiencies, yield improvements (aided by quality controls), competition (both market competition and technology competition), marketing/sales distribution improvements, and other factors.

 

With on-going evaluations relative to the future of LED-based hazardous location (explosion-proof and other) luminaires, there is a challenge to enter the displacement process versus traditional lighting technologies.  There is the need to overcome misconceptions about the true value proposition of LEDs. While some are seeking to replace existing fixtures with LED lamps, others recognize the new paradigms that are evolving.  LEDs offer a new model for light - digital light - with a set of features that completely change the value proposition of light, the relationship between light and information, how consumers experience light, how they control it, how they can use it. 

 

The overall use of LEDs in explosion-proof and hazardous location lighting has already exited the development stage, as well as the introduction or innovation stage and is currently in the growth stage in the product life cycle (PLC).

Market Research Methodology

Market analysis and technology forecasting are complex tasks. Any predictions of the shape and trends of technology and economic movement start from the notion that the germ of what will be important tomorrow is present, although smaller or larger or in a different form, in our environment today. However, taking as a basis for a prediction the assumptions of current, conventional belief creates a set of preconceived notions that can lead to serious mistakes. ElectroniCast, instead, looks to the basic driving forces.

Information Base

During the market research process, ElectroniCast analysts performed interviews with authoritative and representative individuals in the LED and lighting industry, plus – R&D and factory/manufacturing, from the standpoint of both suppliers and users of LED and lighting illumination products. The interviews were conducted principally with:

·        Architectural lighting Designers/Installers concerns, Engineers, marketing personnel and management at manufacturers of LED lighting and related equipment, as well as other lighting technologies.

·        Design group leaders, engineers, marketing personnel and market planners at major users and potential users of LEDs and lighting

·        Other industry experts, including those focused on standards activities, trade associations, government and investments. 

The interviews covered issues of technology, R&D support, pricing, contract size, reliability, documentation, installation/maintenance crafts, standards, supplier competition and other topics.

Bottom-up Methodology     ElectroniCast forecasts, as illustrated in the forecast data structure, are developed initially at the lowest detail level, then summed to successively higher levels. The background market research study focuses on the amount of each type of product used in each application in the base year (2017), and the prices paid at the first transaction from the manufacturer. This forms the base year data.

ElectroniCast analysts then forecast the growth rates in component quantity use in each application, along with price trends, based on competitive, economic and technology forecast trends, and apply these to derive long term forecasts at the lowest application levels. The usage growth rate forecasts depend heavily on analysis of overall end user trends toward equipment usage and economic payback.
