At 10.2% CAGR, Asia Pacific Optical Fiber Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 8,295.43 Million by 2030, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights' research, the Asia Pacific optical fiber market was valued at US$ 3,803.97 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 8,295.43 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.2% from 2022 to 2030. Widespread implementation of 5G and expansion of telecommunication infrastructure are among the critical factor attributed to the Asia Pacific optical fiber market expansion.
5G is the fifth generation of telecommunication networks and is considered a breakthrough in communication technology. It offers several benefits, such as high bandwidth, enhanced mobile broadband, lower latency, and higher data rates. To support these capabilities, a robust and reliable infrastructure is required, and optical fiber is a key component of this infrastructure. Optical fiber is a thin, flexible, and transparent fiber made of silica or plastic that can transmit data using light signals. It provides high-speed and high-capacity data transmission, making it ideal for supporting the increased demands of 5G networks. Optical fiber offers several advantages over traditional copper cables, including higher bandwidth, longer transmission distances, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The implementation of 5G technology requires a significant expansion of the existing network infrastructure. This includes the deployment of small cells and macro cells to ensure seamless coverage and capacity. Small cells are low-power base stations that are deployed in densely populated areas, while macro cells are larger base stations that cover larger areas. Both small cells and macro cells require high-speed and reliable backhaul connections, which can be efficiently provided by optical fiber. As optical fiber provides larger bandwidth for longer distances and at faster speeds, it is expected to play a crucial role in supporting the high number of connected devices in 5G networks. Also, as optical fiber provides wide-area coverage and supports the bandwidth requirements of 5G networks, its demand in the market is increasing. Moreover, Ericsson has projected that by the end of 2028, the number of 5G subscriptions is anticipated to surpass 4.6 billion, representing more than 50% of total mobile subscriptions. As a result, there is a growing need for substantial optical fiber deployments in backhaul networks worldwide.
