Market Overview:
The global active optical connector market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for data centres, consumer electronics, digital signage, networking and computing applications across the globe. Additionally, the growing trend of miniaturization in electronic devices is also fuelling the demand for active optical connectors. Based on type, the global active optical connector market is segmented into QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable), CXP (Connector Express Plus), CDFP (Chip-Down Fiber Plugable), CFP (Connectorized Fibre Pluggable), SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) and others. Among these types, QSFP accounted for the largest share of the global active optical connector market in 2017 and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high bandwidth capacity and low power consumption as compared to other types of connectors available in the market.
Product Definition:
An active optical connector is a type of optical fiber connector that uses a laser-based light source to transmit data. Active optical connectors offer several advantages over traditional fiber optic connectors, including increased speed and bandwidth, reduced power consumption, and smaller size. They are often used in high-performance applications such as data centers and telecommunications networks.
QSFP:
QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor plug) is a type of optical connector that was developed by Intel in 2006. It has since been adopted by QNAP, Emulex, and other manufacturers as the standard SFP module for external connectivity. The growth factor can be attributed to the increased adoption of these modules in data centers due to their compact size and low power consumption properties.
CXP:
CXP is short for Corrugated Fiber Optic. It is a type of optical fiber cable that consists of many small glass fibers bundled together in a corrugated tube. The main advantage of CXP over other types of cables is the flexibility it offers in terms length and bend radius. CXP can be shortened by breaking the outer layer, but still remain flexible enough to follow sharp turns without kinking or causing signal loss.
Application Insights:
The data centre application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The increasing need for speed, efficiency and effective IT infrastructure has led to a rise in demand for active optical connectors from data centres. Moreover, growing adoption of 4K video surveillance systems is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.
Active optical connectors are used in numerous consumer electronics products such as flat panel TVs, set-top boxes (STBs), gaming consoles among others owing to their high performance capabilities and compact size which makes them highly suitable for use in smart living room applications. Furthermore, they can also be connected directly between devices without an intermediate network device thus providing higher bandwidth connectivity with low latency which further enhances their utility across various consumer electronic products thereby propelling growth during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
The North American region dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing adoption of high-speed internet, rising number of data centers, and surging demand for digital signage from retail stores. Moreover, presence of major players such as Corning Incorporated (U.S.), Broadcom Inc.(CA), and Maxim Integrated Products Inc.(US) has resulted in increased product availability across this region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as a lucrative regional market over the next eight years owing to growing penetration of fiber networks across countries such as China & Japan; thereby boosting overall optical connectivity solutions industry growth in this region at a significant pace. Furthermore, rapid developments taking place within networking & computing segment are further driving industry expansion opportunities for Optical Active Connectors (OACTs) providers across Asia Pacific thus making it one of the most promising regions globally during same period (2018 To 2030).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-speed and bandwidth-intensive applications such as big data, cloud computing, and 4K/8K video streaming is expected to fuel the growth of the active optical connector market.
- Proliferation of data centers and hyperscale datacenters is also anticipated to drive the demand for active optical connectors in the near future.
- Growing popularity of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployments is another key factor that would boost the adoption of active optical connectors in coming years.
- Rising number of mergers & acquisitions (M&A) and collaborations among technology companies is also projected to favor the growth prospects of this market in forthcoming years.
