Abstract
This report provides the fiber optic circulator market forecasts for each
year, 2007-2012, in terms of Quantity (number of units), Average Selling
Prices (ASPs) per unit and consumption values.
The forecast data for the following regions, plus a Global summary:
- North America
- Europe
- Japan/Pacific Rim
- Rest of World
The forecasts are presented for use in:
- Telecommunications
- Private Data Networks
- Cable TV
- Military/ Aerospace
- Specialty Applications
Additionally, the fiber optic circulator market is presented by the following port-count configurations:
- 3 - Ports
- 4 - Ports
- More than 4 - Ports (> 4 - Ports)
According to ElectroniCast Consultants, the global consumption value of fiber
optic circulators reached $169 million in 2007. During the forecast period of
2007-2012, the value will increase at an average annual growth rate of 10.6
percent to reach $280 million in 2012. North America will maintain its market
share lead throughout the forecast period, growing from $77.6 million in 2007

second position, in terms of relative market share, with a consumption value
of $49.9 million in 2007 and increasing at a faster pace than North America to
$89.8 million in 2012. Europe' s use (consumption) of fiber optic circulators
will remain lagging behind from $38.82 million in 2007 to $60.38 million in
2012. Finally, the Rest of World market, which is mostly attributed to the
Middle East, Africa, Australia and Central/South America, will remain
relatively less significant throughout the forecast time-period.
Consumption is based on the geographical (region) location where the fiber
optic circulator is first used into a higher-level sub-component or component.
