 Industry Outlook.svg)
Product Definition:
Outdoor Free Space Optics (FSO) is a technology used to provide high-bandwidth, low-latency communication links between two points in outdoor settings, often over long distances. FSO systems use beams of light to transmit data, and are thus able to circumvent many of the problems that plague traditional wireless networking technologies. FSO systems are often used in rural areas where wired infrastructure is not available or where it would be prohibitively expensive to deploy.
Short Distance (Less Than 500m):
Short distance optical fibers are used for light transport at a certain distance. They are mainly used in outdoor free space optics (FSO) applications such as laser delivery systems, surveillance and detection devices, etc. The FSO market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from end-use industries such as security & surveillance and communication.
Mid Distance (500m-1500m):
The global mid-distance (500m-1500m) and it's usage in outdoor free space optics (FSO) market size was valued at USD 6.5 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% from 2019 to 2027.
Application Insights:
The defense and security segment dominated the global outdoor FSO market in 2017. The growth of this segment is attributed to the growing adoption of FSO solutions for communication, navigation and surveillance applications in military and defense sectors. Furthermore, increasing government initiatives to reduce expenditure on conventional optical networks is expected to drive the demand for OOFOV systems over the forecast period.
The communications segment accounted for a significant share in 2017 due to an increase in demand from wireless communication operators such as AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Sprint Corporation etc. These companies are increasingly deploying fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services across their customer bases which has resulted in increased requirement of high data transmission speeds over long distances between service providers' facilities and users' locations. This factor is anticipated to fuel product demand during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to early technology adoption by service providers and manufacturers. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period due to increasing investments in fiber-optic infrastructure, high disposable income of consumers, and growing demand for consumer electronics with integrated FSO capabilities.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regional markets from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing internet usage rates, rising smartphone penetration rates across developing countries such as China and India, and expanding application areas for FSO technologies. Moreover, a large number of free space optics (FSO) service providers are based out of Asia Pacific that offer end-to-end solutions across all major industry verticals including defense & security; transportation; utilities; healthcare & life sciences; oil & gas etc.; thereby contributing significantly toward regional growth rate estimates over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-speed and bandwidth-intensive applications such as 4G/LTE and 5G networks
- Proliferation of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Growing demand for cloud services and data center expansions
- Rising need for secure communications in government and defense sectors
- Increasing investments in fiber optic infrastructure
