The market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into WR 0-50, WR 50-100, WR 100-500, and others. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into commercial applications such as point-to-point microwave links and backhauls; military applications such as radar systems; space applications such as satellites; and others including medical imaging devices and test & measurement equipment.
Product Definition:
A flexible waveguide is a waveguide that can be bent or curved to change its direction. This allows it to be used in applications where traditional rigid waveguides cannot be used, such as in medical implants or sensors. Flexible waveguides are important for a number of reasons. First, they allow for the transmission of signals through tight spaces and around curves, which is important for applications like medical implants. Second, they are lightweight and flexible, making them easier to transport and install than traditional rigid waveguides.
WR 0-50:
The global wr 0-50 market size was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2016 and is expected to witness a significant growth owing to the increasing demand for high band frequencies, especially from wireless communication applications. The growing adoption of flexible waveguides in various end-use industries such as medical & healthcare, automotive & transportation, consumer electronics is anticipated to propel the industry growth over the forecast period.
WR 50-100:
The wr 50-100 is a type of flexible waveguide used in fiber optic applications. It has a core made from silica glass and an outer cladding made from plastic or glass. The wr50-100 is available in the range of 50 to 100 microns in outside diameter (OD). It can be customized according to the application requirements by changing its ID and/or OD.
Application Insights:
The commercial application segment accounted for the largest share of over 70.0% in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The growing demand for high-speed data transfer & communication, optical fiber networks, and power grid lines coupled with technological advancements in electronics & telecom sector is expected to propel the product demand from commercial applications over the next seven years.
The military application segment was valued at USD 391.5 million in 2017 owing to increasing use of flexible waveguides by defense agencies across the globe for secure communications and classified data transmission purposes from short range (up to 500 meters) without exposing radio frequencies or revealing their source information to adversaries. Furthermore, increasing adoption of FSWs as a replacement for traditional copper cables due largely they being more flexible than steel wires that are used currently by military intelligence agencies worldwide will drive its demand from military applications over next seven years or so.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing defense spending by various countries, such as China and India. For instance, in 2016, China increased its military expenditure by 7% compared to 2015 and India increased its military expenditure by 10%. Such increases in defense spending are anticipated to boost market growth across Asia Pacific region.
North America was estimated as the second-largest regional segment owing to high demand for advanced technology products from various applications including space exploration and communication systems among others. In addition, growing demand for fiber optic cables in telecommunication industry is also likely contribute toward product demand over next eight years of forecast period.
Europe accounted for a significant share of global flexible waveguides market on account of high technological development across countries such as Germany and U.K.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for bandwidth in telecom and data centers
- Proliferation of 5G and other wireless technologies
- Growing popularity of optical fiber networks
- Rising number of connected devices and IoT applications
- Advances in optical materials and fabrication technologies
