TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Passive Optical Network (PON) Equipment Market: Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corp., Sumitomo Electric Networks Inc., and ZTE Corp.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “With the deployment of 10G and 40G optical transmission networks in recent years, there is an upsurge of deployment of higher capacities. Many leading vendors such as Alcatel-Lucent, Ciena, and Huawei have announced that they are going a step further in the future by innovating and conducting trials for capacities as large as 400G and 10 petabits per second transmission. Although the capacities are much larger than required currently, they are considered as future investments considering the huge expansion in data traffic.”
According to the report, the increasing growth of PON equipment in China is a major growth driver. In China, there is a transition toward optical-wired communication from wireless communication. The mass adoption of electronic gadgets and the data traffic created by the huge volume of customers are driving end-users in the country to switch from a wireless to a wired optical medium.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is declining average selling prices of equipment. Semiconductor optical devices are used for high data volume applications and their prices have fallen significantly during the past 10 years. Buyers and vendors in the Optical industry have become highly competitive and cost sensitive. Thus, there is always pricing pressure from customers which affects the profits of the company.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
