Market Overview:
The global direct attach cable market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for high-speed networking and data storage applications. Additionally, the growing trend of cloud computing and big data are also fueling the demand for direct attach cables. Based on type, the QSFP segment is expected to hold the largest share in the global direct attach cable market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high bandwidth capacity and superior performance as compared to other types of cables.
Product Definition:
A direct attach cable (DAC) is a type of computer cable that is used to connect two devices directly, without the need for a switch or router. DACs are often used to connect network adapters and storage devices, and can provide improved performance compared to using an intermediary device like a switch.
QSFP:
QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor plug) is a type of optical fiber connector that was developed by Intel in 2006. It has since been widely adopted by QSFP’s original designer companies such as NEC, Fujitsu, and Toshiba among others. The growth of the Direct Attach Cable (DAC) market can be attributed to the increasing popularity of high-speed data transmission applications such as video surveillance, IP telephony and broadband access.
SFP:
Single- Fiber optic ( SFP ) is a type of optical fiber cable which consists of only one optical fiber. It is used to transmit data in the form of light or electrical signals over a distance using glass core inside the cable. The signal or data are sent from one end to another end through this single optical fiber.
Application Insights:
The networking segment dominated the global direct attach cable market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for data center connectivity solutions and high-speed network deployment activities. Increasing cloud computing, digital transformation, and adoption of 5G technology are further expected to drive networking application segments over the forecast period.
Telecommunications application was one of the prominent segments accounting for a revenue share of 24.3% in 2017 on account of growing demand from telecom operators globally for deploying fiber optic communication systems at their respective headend facilities or within their existing plant infrastructure. The ongoing trend regarding providing internet access through home broadband connections coupled with rising number telecommunication subscriptions worldwide is anticipated to boost DASC market growth over the coming years as well.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for high-speed data communication networks and rising investments in HPC centers. The regional market is expected to be driven by countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India. These countries have been making huge investments in their respective information technology sectors that offer tremendous potential for DAS technologies.
Moreover, these Asian economies are also focusing on developing their healthcare sector which will lead to an increase in data centers’ deployment over the next eight years. This factor will also contribute toward market growth during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030 timeframe.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-speed data transmission: The growth of data-intensive applications such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things is fueling the demand for high-speed data transmission. Direct attach cables are well suited for high-speed transmission and can provide a cost-effective alternative to fiber optic cables.
- Proliferation of 10 Gigabit Ethernet: 10 Gigabit Ethernet is becoming increasingly popular in enterprise networks due to its ability to handle large amounts of traffic quickly and efficiently. As more businesses adopt 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the demand for direct attach cables will grow accordingly.
- Growing popularity of server virtualization: Server virtualization allows businesses to run multiple operating systems on a single physical server, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced costs. As more businesses turn to server virtualization, they will need corresponding hardware such as direct attach cables that can handle the increased network traffic load.
