Market Overview:
The global optical rotary joints & slip rings market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for optical rotary joints & slip rings in defense and aerospace applications, rising demand for test equipment, and growing adoption of wind turbines. However, the high cost of these products may restrain the growth of this market to some extent. Based on type, the global optical rotary joints & slip rings market can be segmented into single-channel, dual-channel, and multi-channel segments. The single-channel segment is expected to account for a major share of the global optical rotary joints & slip rings market during the forecast period owing to its low cost and easy installation.
Product Definition:
An optical rotary joint (ORJ) is an electromechanical device used to rotate an object about a fixed axis while transmitting light signals between the object and its surroundings. It consists of a spindle, bearings, and a housing. The spindle is attached to the object to be rotated, the bearings support the spindle and allow it to rotate freely, and the housing seals off the environment from the rotating spindle. Optical slip rings (OSRs) are similar devices that transmit electrical power or signals instead of light.
ORJs and OSRs are used in a variety of applications where it is necessary to rotate an object while transmitting information between it and its surroundings. Some common applications include: medical devices such as endoscopes; industrial machinery such as robots; sensors mounted on aircraft or satellites; cameras on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs); antennae on communications towers.
Single-channel:
Single-channel is a term used to refer to the optical fiber that carries light in only one direction. The single-channel system can be implemented using either glass or plastic fibers, and it is used for applications such as telecommunication, lighting, and laser delivery systems.
The global SSC market was valued at USD 648 million in 2016.
Dual-channel:
Dual-channel is a method of transmitting two independent signals using the same medium. It can be used in various applications such as slip rings, optical rotary joints, and others. Slip rings are used to transfer power for various machinery or equipment operation. Optical rotary joints use dual-channel technology to transmit data and power simultaneously over the same cable by using different wavelengths of light along with fiber optic cables.
Application Insights:
The defense and aerospace application segment dominated the global market in 2017. The optical joints are widely used in military aircraft, helicopters, UAVs/UCAVs, ships and submarines for stabilization and aiming systems. Optical slip rings find applications across various verticals such as defense & aerospace, industrial & commercial, test equipment and wind turbines among others.
The industrial application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand from automation solutions such as machine tools that use rotary jointed arms with optical sighting devices for accurate positioning of machines or workpieces coupled with motorized turntables or spindles for rotating heavy machinery parts where high accuracy is required along with protection against vibration due to its stationary nature on a supporting surface.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth is attributed to the presence of a large number of OEMs and their continuous R&D activities for developing advanced optical devices. Moreover, increasing defense spending by countries such as the U.S., China, India, and Russia are expected to drive demand over the next eight years.
Asia Pacific is estimated to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization along with growing infrastructure activities in emerging economies such as China and India that has led to an increased demand for slip rings across various industries including energy & power, construction & mining equipment manufacturing among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the telecommunication and data communication industries for high-speed, reliable, and low-latency data transmission is expected to drive the growth of the optical rotary joints & slip rings market.
- The increasing demand for miniaturized and lightweight components in various applications is also projected to fuel the growth of this market in the coming years.
- Growing investments in research and development activities for new product launches is another key factor that is expected to propel the growth of this market during the forecast period.
- The rising trend of automation across different industries is also anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for players operating in this market over the next few years.
