Structured Cabling Systems Market: 2007

Abstract

In this new study, Structured Cabling Systems Market: 2007, the total U.S. SCS market is forecast to grow at a rate of 18.6%, from $6.8 billion in 2007 to $15.9 billion by 2012. Frank commented that this growth is higher than previously reported, as newer network applications are expected to grow dramatically in the future. These include VOIP, data centers and video over IP. Frank stated, “We see the SCS cabling architecture evolving to a universal enterprise network consisting of the current primary installed LAN networks supporting newer IP sub nets, such as voice with VOIP, data for the data centers and video via video over IP.”

• 1) LANs
• 2) Data Centers
• 3) VOIP
• 4) Video over IP
• 5) Other such as wireless

Even though the current growth market is data centers, the study indicates that the highest growth market in the future will be VOIP. By 2012, the largest market for Cat 6a cables is projected to be VOIP followed by data centers. The largest market for fiber cable is forecast to be LANs, with data centers trailing by the year 2012. The longer cable backbone runs for LANs, compared to the shorter cable runs inside data centers, is the primary reason for LANs to continue to be the largest market for fiber cables.

The study contains other valuable product forecast data, including detailed product forecasts by each of the five cabling applications, which provides insight into future major market opportunities for the SCS suppliers.
