The Global Market for GPON Equipment is Projected to Reach US$10.5 Billion by 2020

Growing Demand for Bandwidth Drives the Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Equipment Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Equipment market. The global market for GPON equipment is projected to reach US$10.5 billion by 2020, driven by the growing demand for bandwidth, against the backdrop of increasing penetration of the Internet and triple play services.

Globally, introduction of streaming video and high-speed services continue to drive demand for higher bandwidth, thus generating demand for FTTP applications. Driven by its technology and performance benefits over legacy networks, Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON) has emerged to become the preferred fiber access technology. GPON infrastructure comprises single optical fiber that can be accessed by multiple users through passive optical splitters, and is considered as the most cost-effective technology for FTTH (Fiber to the Home) deployments. Rapid adoption of FTTH services across the world to offer bandwidth intensive applications, particularly in emerging markets offers strong growth potential for GPON equipment.

GPON delivers increased bandwidth capabilities along with triple-play services including Internet, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and digital content over a single fibre optic line to residential households and office premises. As the number of connected devices continues to proliferate inside and outside homes, demand for higher broadband is expected to drive GPON deployments. Additionally, with more hospitals realizing the benefits of optical networks, and focusing on upgrading legacy networks with passive optical networks, demand for GPON equipment is expected to remain healthy.

As stated by the new market research report on Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Equipment, Asia-Pacific represents the largest market worldwide. Latin America is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 40.3% over the analysis period. The growth in the region is particularly driven by countries such as Uruguay and Brazil that rank amongst the leading countries in FTTH deployments across the world. Rapid adoption of FTTH services, increasing investments from private and public sectors, increase in ‘Over the Top’ services in various countries along with explosion in data traffic, represent key growth drivers in the region.

Major players in the market include ADTRAN Inc., Alcatel-Lucent, Alphion Corporation, Calix Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., DASAN Networks, ECI Telecom Ltd., FiberHome Technologies Group, Fujitsu UK & Ireland, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Iskratel d.o.o. Kranj, KEYMILE GmbH, PT. NEC Indonesia, Zhone Technologies Inc., ZTE Corporation, and ZyXEL Communications Corp.
