Passive Optical Component Market Overview:
Global passive optical component market was valued at $14.6 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach $45.6 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 17.6% from 2016 to 2022. Optical components such as optical cables, optical power splitters, optical couplers, optical encoders, and optical connectors are the major components of optical network system. Passive optical components also use fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks for branching of optical signals, multi/de-multiplexing, and for optical surveillance systems of video signals. Passive optical components do not require electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical conversion during its operation. These components not only include simple optical connectors and fixed optical attenuators, but also more complicated, electronically controlled, optical devices such as switches and variable optical attenuators.
Some of the major drivers for this market growth are high growth in IP traffic, increased FTTH requirements, demand for scalability in mobile network, advancement in Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON) SoC technologies, high return on investment, and low cost of ownership. However, difficulty in managing failure of passive optical networks (PON) and less range of network devices connection are restraining the growth of this market.
