The market for optical networking has been rising continuously and showing signs of growing even in adverse market conditions. Ethernet is a major cause behind the growing industry demand. In United States, the market has a stronghold, as there are large number of mobile internet users and high household internet penetration. China is a developing market and offers potential opportunity for the optical networking equipment suppliers.
The current macroeconomic environment did not affect much of spending on WDM and submarine demand. The submarine fiber optics systems market is being driven by the record growth of the Internet, new devices and broadband services. Regulatory interventions make this market highly sensitive as barriers to entry are high. Also regional players make the competition difficult for the outside suppliers.
The telecom bubble burst has given a further push to the optical networking industry by making a strong market for metro WDM equipment. Another significant driver of fundamental growth is the underlying technology shift within the network. As a result, while overall growth may be stagnant, growth within the next generation technologies is positive. Rising demand of IPTV and increasing broadband connections are driving the industry demand.
