Description
“The total number of world fiber subscribers is projected to reach 173.8
million by 2013 experiencing a CAGR of 35.5%. The Asia region was the largest
market for fiber accounting for 47.3% of connections at the end of 2013.” These
are just some of the many findings from the IMS Research study of the
worldwide FTTx market. The study was written at a time when the market is
going through a period of significant growth. Most suppliers reported a growth
year in 2007 and this is projected to continue in 2008. The data contained
within demonstrates how the worldwide market is likely to evolve over the next
five years.
IMS Research' s aim in writing this report is to provide companies interested
in the worldwide FTTx market with detailed information on its current status
and future development. Within the report detailed assessments of market sizes
and forecast growth areas are provided in terms of number of connections, the
CPE shipments and associated revenues and the last mile infrastructure
shipments and associated revenues. The report also provides a summary of the
overall broadband market in 31 countries and a breakdown of the subscriber
base into DSL, cable, PLC, satellite, leased line and BWA. Country profiles
present an analysis of the competitive environment for broadband service
provision in each country (including broadband market shares) and details of
announced and planned FTTx deployments. An analysis of various PON standards
(e.g. GPON and EPON) is also investigated,
