Fiber Optics - Market Size, Market Share, Market Leaders, Demand Forecast, Sales, Company Profiles, Market Research, Industry Trends

The US market for fiber optic equipment and systems will grow 10.3 percent annually through 2006, driven by strong demand for advanced IT and emerging multimedia services (e.g., interactive gaming, HD video conferencing, streaming/downloading media). MEMS-based all-optical switches and dense wavelength division multiplexers will lead gains.

This study analyzes the $13.7 billion US fiber optics industry. It presents historical data (1992, 1996 and 2001) and forecasts to 2006 and 2011 by product (e.g., cable, multiplexers, connectors, transceivers, lasers and light sources, amplifiers, optical switches, couplers, optical backplanes); and by market.

The study also examines the market environment, reviews technology, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 32 key companies including Agere Systems, Agilent Technologies, Alcatel, CIENA, Cisco Systems, Corning, JDS Uniphase, Lucent Technologies, Nortel Networks, and Tyco International.
