Report Description


The global active optical cable market size was USD 7.10 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 13.72 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2023–2031. The market growth is characterized by the ­rising high-speed data consumption by consumers and digital transformation of the industrial processes.

In the digital era, consumers are demanding high-speed data connectivity to access services such as e-commerce, healthcare, and banking on online platforms. Optical communication networks serve as a viable option for telecom service providers to cater to the needs of consumers and create a digitally equitable society. The optical communication network comprises a data originator, optical transmitter, modulator, transmission channel, and receiver. The transmission channels include either coaxial cables or active optical cables.

Active Optical Cable Market Outlook

An optical fiber transmits information coded in the form of light. The data in the form of an electrical signal is converted into an optical signal or light with the help of converters at the transmitting end. This optical signal is then fed to the optical cable and converted back into an electrical signal at the receiving end of the optical transceiver.

The information travels over long distances with low signal loss and high bandwidth. In the active optical cables glass strands, about the size of human hair are used as a refractive surface. These strands are encapsulated inside a plastic jacket. Information coded in the form of light travels down an active optical cable repeatedly bouncing off the walls of the cable.

Active Optical Cable Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising adoption of digitally enabled systems globally is anticipated to drive the market. Growing number of smartphone users, integration of digital technologies in consumer electronics appliances, the digital transition of industrial processes, and digitally-enabled services in the public sector work on an optical communication network as a backbone. Furthermore, public and private organizations are adopting network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) which is anticipated to drive the growth of the optical communication market.

Government initiatives to build robust and high-capacity telecom networks are expected to drive the market. Governments are building high-capacity telecom networks that facilitate public services efficiently. Data transfer rates for public services applications are high. The government relies on optical communication for high data transfer operations. Active optical cables serve as an efficient transmission medium for data transfer.

Restraints

The high cost of active optical cables and associated costs for the maintenance of the network are likely to restrain the market. Active optical cables are relatively expensive compared to conventional mediums such as coaxial cable and copper. The maintenance cost of active optical cables is high as it requires skilled professionals and instruments such as optic fiber splicers, testers, and cleaner to monitor and maintain the active optical cable network.

Opportunities

The 5G network expansion and supportive infrastructure for high-speed data transfer are likely to create significant opportunities for the market. The active optical cables offer high performance and bandwidth with low power consumption. Moreover, active optical cables do not require an external optical transceiver and are resistant to electromagnetic interference. Telecom service providers are increasingly using active optical cables due to their ruggedness and high adaptability.
