FTTx Pipes Market

FTTx Pipes Market Outlook - 2026

The global FTTx pipes market size was valued at $1,433.2 million in 2018, and is anticipated to generate $3,056.1 million by 2026 and is projected to experience growth at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2019 to 2026. FTTx, also known as fiber to the x, is used for high speed data communications. The x here is any end-use location may that be home, enterprise, building, desktop, router, office, and many more. The fiber cables are prone to damage. They are passed through plastic pipes of certain qualities to prevent the direct damage to the cable such as corrosion, cuts, or breakage. The pipes are used offer flexibility or rigidness as desired. FTTx pipes are made from thermoplastic polymers as high or medium density polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. The fiber cables are laid through ducts, pathways, and many more. In addition, these ducts and pathways used offers protection from damage, ensure safety, and are temperature & chemical resistant.

Rise in demand from telecom industry is expected to drive the growth of the FTTx pipes market. The applications of FTTx pipes ensure safety and protection from any damage. Thus, new installations or any modifications in the older ones impact the demand for such pipes from telecom industry. Furthermore, increase in demand from emerging economies, owing to intense competition in the telecom industry also fuels the market growth. In addition, implementation of several initiatives from government toward connectivity of rural and remote areas boost for the growth of the FTTx pipes market. However, fluctuation in the prices of crude oil directly impacts the production costs hampering the FTTx pipes market growth. Meanwhile, integration of FTTx pipes in the power industry for energy infrastructure is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the FTTx pipes market expansion.
