A fiber management system (FMS) is a system that manages optical fiber connections from the outside of the fiber rack to the fiber routers. A fiber network is managed using the FMS method. It logs system operations and features like schematic design, asset physical locations, mechanical/fusion splice points, and more. Among its applications are the creation and distribution of cable capacity reports, the calculation of total cable lengths, the recording of fiber cable locations, splicing records, the verification of the presence of dark fiber cables, and the troubleshooting of fiber breakage.

To execute these tasks, most organizations rely on software-based platforms, databases, and spreadsheets. Managers and installers can utilize these technologies to save data on network components, connections, and testing, which can be useful for future upgrades or diagnosing problems if they arise. Reports from fiber optic management systems can reveal network statistics such as cable section lengths, loss budgets, network capacity, optical loss, and splice and termination sites. All of these factors contribute to the global expansion of fiber management solutions.

The outbreak of COVID-19 moderately impacted the growth of the fiber management system market in 2020, owing to a significant impact on prime players operating in the supply chain. However, the rise in demand for Internet of Things devices and solutions across prime sectors was one of the major factors that boosted the market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The market faced several obstacles amid the COVID-19 pandemic, such as a lack of skilled workforce availability and delay or cancelation of projects due to partial or complete lockdowns globally. The surge in demand for telecommunications, public sector, power utilities, healthcare, industrial automation, and other sectors is expected to strengthen fiber management system market opportunities post-COVID-19.

Fiber management solutions are most typically used in fiber optic communication networks. Cellular wireless technology has always relied on fiber networks and will continue to do so in the future. The use of the 5G network, the fifth generation of mobile network technology that promises faster speeds, cleaner connections, and higher capacity for individual devices, is widely expected to grow during the forecast period. As a result, in order to handle 5G cell installations, fiber management solutions will need to be significantly denser. The high manufacturing costs connected with the development of this technology, as well as its fragility and installation challenges, may hinder the market growth of fiber management systems.

The largest end-use industry for fiber optics is telecommunication, and the optical fiber is the primary medium for data transport from one location to another. The sector is quickly expanding as a result of the rising use of mobile devices and the associated bandwidth connectivity. Positive market developments in broadband services and big data management, such as 5G networks, AI implementation, and the Internet of Things, are propelling the telecommunications business. The number of connected devices continues to grow, and the use of fiber management solutions will follow the pace as device usage and connectivity grow.

The global fiber management systems market size is expected to witness notable growth during the forecast period, owing to a surge in demand for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Moreover, the rise in the deployment of data centers and the rise in demand for higher bandwidth are expected to boost the fiber management systems market growth during the forecast period.

However, the lack of professionals to operate and install fiber optic cassette solutions is one of the prime factors that restrain the global fiber management systems market growth. On the contrary, the expansion of telecom infrastructure in developing economies is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the fiber management systems market during the forecast period.

The fiber management systems market share is segmented into Type and Application.

On the basis of type, the fiber management systems market outlook is divided into fiber cassettes, fiber optic boxes, and others. In 2021, the fiber optic box segment dominated the market in terms of revenue and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period.

On the basis of application, the fiber management systems market opportunity is segregated into telecommunications, the public sector, power utilities, healthcare, industrial automation, and others. Thetelecommunicationssegment acquired the largest share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR from 2022 to 2031.

On the basis of region, the fiber management systems market trends are analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa).
