世界の光ファイバーコネクターおよびメカニカルスプライス市場予測、2007〜2012年

The global fiber optic connector and mechanical splice consumption in 2008 is forecasted to reach $1.64 billion. The consumption value will increase with strongly rising quantity growth partially offset by declining average prices. By the year 2012, the worldwide consumption value is forecasted to reach over $2.5 billion. ElectroniCast' s global forecast of fiber optic connectors and mechanical splices is presented by function:

• Consumption Value ($, Million)
• Number of Units (Quantity in 1,000)
• Average Selling Prices ($, each)

This report provides the historic year of 2007 and a 5-year (2008-2012) forecast of fiber optic connector and mechanical splice use, segmented by geographic region:

• North America
• Europe
• Japan/Pacific Rim
• Rest of World
• Plus a Global summary

Multimode connector use is forecasted to grow from $764.1 million, last year (2007) to $1.437 billion in 2012. North America' s share is significantly higher compared to other world regions, due to an earlier start of fiber optics use in premises LANs (Private Enterprise) and the subsequent rapid expansion into horizontal interconnects, as well as use in inside equipment such as switches, high-performance computing (HPC), etc. Parallel optical interconnect components, including multiple fiber connectors and vertical cavity surface emitting laser diodes (VCSELs), which phased into production equipment, are driving the migration of fiber closer to the end user.

Use of mechanical splices will decline in percentage share from 3.5 percent in 2007 to 2.7 percent by 2012, however increasing in value from $48 million to $68 million. Telecom application, particularly emergency restoration, is the predominant use of mechanical splices. However, fusion splicing has mainly been used in large fiber count cable installations, it has now expanded for smaller fiber count installations, as smaller and lower cost fusion splice equipment are readily available.
