Abstract
The global consumption value of fiber optic fusion splice equipment in 2007
was $308 million. The consumption value is forecast to increase to $440
million in 2012, with strongly rising quantity growth partially offset by a
continuing decline of average prices. ElectroniCast' s global forecast of fiber
optic fusion splice equipment, in terms of the number of units (quantity/each)
and average selling prices (ASPs) are also presented.
This report provides the historic year of 2007 and a 5-year (2008-2012)
forecast of the consumption of fusion splice machines (fusion splicers),
segmented into the following geographic regions: North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific Region (APAC), Rest of the World, plus Global summaries.
The global forecast is also segmented into the following major application categories:
- Telecommunications
- Premises data networks
- Cable TV
- Military/Aerospace (Commercial and MIL-SPEC)
- Specialty (intra-enclosure, test and measurement, laboratory, other)
- Manufacturing/Production of fiber optic communication components
The market forecasted is also segmented into the following fusion splice (machine) types:
- Single Fiber
- Local Injection Detection (LID)
- Lens Profile Alignment
- Fixed Alignment, High Performance
- Fixed Alignment, Microsplicer
- Miscellaneous Low Performance Splicers
- Multiple Fiber (Ribbon)
- Automated
- Low Performance
The global consumption value of fiber optic fusion splice equipment in 2007
was $308 million and is expected to increase to $440 million in 2012.
