Global Market Forecast
ElectroniCast offers the Fiber Optic Optoelectronic Transmitters/Receivers Global Market Forecast. This is the transmitter/receiver (T/R) segment of the Fiber Optics Forecast Service (FOFS), in a format most convenient for optoelectronic market and product development planners.
The ElectroniCast report, forecasts the global consumption and production of fiber optic optoelectronic communication components. It also details, for each significant application and geographical region 2002-2012.
The database is structured in a hierarchical format, with data groups at the lowest structural level, summing to a higher-level category by application, as illustrated in Table 1. A sample page of a data base printout is illustrated in Figure 1.
The database is divided into five major sections, by region:
- Global Summary
- North America
- Japan / Pacific Rim
- Europe
- Rest of World
The following applications are covered in the database:
- Telecommunication
- Private Data Communication
- Cable TV
- Military/Aerospace
- Specialty Application
METHODOLOGY
ElectroniCast forecasts are based on an analysis and forecast of the basic driving forces: technology, economics and governmental action. The knowledge and experience of the analysts are critical factors in the final results of the programs. Research techniques include:
- Interviews with optoelectronic module providers and fiber optic system designers, advanced researchers, marketing and purchasing: in person and by telephone.
- Industry data review: technical publications and conference proceedings; trade association data; governmental statistics; financial reports; product literature and contract awards.
- Input/output trend analysis, relating demand and technology trends to user and supplier industries.
- ElectroniCast's databases in supporting research areas.
The research for this program includes personal and telephone interviews with:
- Business and marketing managers at fiber optic optoelectronic component suppliers, both domestic and import, in North America, plus producers in Japan and Europe.
- Researchers involved in design of next-generation fiber optic transmitters, receivers and amplifiers.
- Telephone system planners, cable TV firms, alternate local carriers, local area/wide area data network planners and producers, military/aerospace system contractors, communications service end users and their trade groups.
