Market Overview:
The global dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for DWDM networks, SDH network, CATV and dispersion adjustment applications. Additionally, the growing demand for optical fiber in telecom and data centers is also contributing to the growth of the global DCF market. However, stringent government regulations and high installation cost are some of the factors restraining the growth of this market. On basis of type, single mode fiber accounted for majority share in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance during forecast period as well. Polarization maintaining fiber is projected to be fastest growing segment during forecast period owing to its increasing demand from data center applications. On basis of application, DWDM networks accounted for majority share in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance during forecast period as well followed by SDH network.

Product Definition:
DCF is a type of optical fiber that has been designed to reduce the amount of chromatic dispersion in an optical transmission system. Chromatic dispersion is the spreading out of light signals as they travel through a fiber optic cable due to the differences in the speed at which different colors of light travel. This can cause problems for systems that require very precise timing between signals, such as digital audio and video transmissions. Dispersion compensating fiber can help to minimize these problems and improve system performance.
Single Mode Fiber:
Single-mode fiber (SMF) is a kind of optical fiber, which can support only one mode of light transmission at a time. It has the property to restrict the interference of extraneous lights in its transmission. The single-mode fibers are used for telecommunication applications owing to their small size and low cost over multi-mode fibers.
Polarization Maintaining Fiber:
Polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) is a special type of fiber that maintains the polarization of light. It does not suffer from the coloration caused by dispersion due to its high quality and reliability. PMF finds applications in DCF, laser delivery systems, optical communications, and others owing to its features such as small size & weight coupled with low cost & power consumption.
Application Insights:
The others application segment held the largest market share in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period owing to its applications in various industries such as telecommunication, automotive, aerospace & defense and electronics among others. The DWDM networks application segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the same period owing to its increasing demand for high-precision optical components that are required for managing multiple channels with less interference.
Dispersion compensation fibers are used in WDM optical communication systems that consist of multiple WDFs operating at different wavelengths within an Optical Fiber Communication System (OFCS). These fibers help manage system-induced phase errors that occur due largely to non-linearities or other imperfections present within an optical fiber transmission line or path between source and destination devices.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for high-speed internet, rising penetration of smartphones and data services, and growing adoption of digital entertainment. The regional market is expected to be driven by a large number of new construction projects in China.
The European region accounted for more than 25% revenue share in 2016 on account of early technology adoption by several countries such as Germany, U.K., France, Italy among others which have significantly contributed towards industry growth.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for data centers and optical communication systems
- Growing number of internet users and bandwidth-intensive applications
- Proliferation of 4G/LTE networks and the upcoming 5G era
- Rising demand for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments
- Emergence of new applications such as big data, cloud computing, etc., that require high bandwidth
