Market Overview:
The global optical circulator 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 optical amplifiers, add-drop multiplexers, and optic sensors across different applications. Additionally, the growing demand for high-speed data transmission is also fueling the growth of the global optical circulator market. Based on type, the global optical circulator market can be segmented into single-mode type and polarization-maintaining type. The single mode type segment is expected to account for a larger share of the global optical circulator market than the polarization maintaining type segment duringthe forecast period.
Product Definition:
An optical circulator is an electronic device that allows light to flow in only one direction. It is used to direct light from a transmitter to a receiver without any interference from the environment.
Single-Mode Type:
Single-mode type optical circulator is a device that is used to route light in a single direction. It’s an important component of many high power laser systems as it helps maintain the output beam quality and intensity. The demand for such devices has been increasing over the past few years on account of their use in end-user applications including telecommunication, fiber optics networks, and scientific research.
Polarization-Maintaining Type:
The optical circulator is an optoelectronic device that consists of a transparent plastic or glass tube, which can be used to transmit and receive light. The basic operation of the optical circulator is to keep the incident beam unchanged until it leaves from the other end. It does this by using two half-silvered mirrors at each end of the tube, with a narrow gap between them so that only one side of the beam can enter at a time.
Application Insights:
The optical amplifier application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The optical circulator plays a major role in an amplifier by providing isolation between input and output ports, which eliminates signal reflections and enables high-speed operation. Optical amplifiers are widely used across various applications such as data centers, enterprise networks, telecommunication network infrastructure etc.
The add-drop multiplexer (ADM) application segment is expected to exhibit steady growth over the forecast period owing to its rising use in data centers along with other applications such as internet routers & switches and fiber optic sensors. ADMs enable easy addition or deletion of channels from a channel bank without affecting other channels sharing bandwidth on a same link or bus; this feature is highly beneficial in Data Center Applications where constant expansion of IT infrastructure demands more bandwidth for connectivity purposes.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of major players and increased adoption of advanced technologies. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period due to increasing investments in R&D activities for developing advanced optic circulators. Moreover, growing demand for high-speed internet is also anticipated to drive growth in this region.
Asia Pacific regional market captured a significant share owing to rapid developments taking place across various industries, including telecommunication and IT sectors, especially in China and India. These countries are investing heavily in optical fiber networks that require efficient optics solutions such as optical amplifiers & distributors for signal distribution along with add/drop multiplexers (ADM) & sensor applications requiring low loss fibers or waveguides. This trend is projected to drive growth over the forecast period worldwide by providing lucrative opportunities for industry expansion at lower costs compared with North America or Europe regions.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications such as 4K/8K video streaming, cloud computing, and big data analytics is expected to drive the growth of the optical circulator market.
- Growing number of data centers across the globe is also anticipated to fuel the demand for optical circulators in near future.
- Proliferation of 5G networks is another major factor that would boost the growth of this market in coming years.
- Rising number of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) deployments are also projected to create lucrative opportunities for optical circulator vendors in near future.
