The passive optical network market was valued at US$ 9,359.1 million in 2017 and is projected to reach US$ 11,144.6 million by 2025; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.95% during 2018–2025.

A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications technology that provides end-customers with broadband network connectivity. Its architecture uses a point-to-multipoint topology, in which a single optical fibre serves multiple endpoints by dividing the fibre bandwidth among multiple access points using unpowered (passive) fibre optic splitters. ​The demand for Gigabyte Passive Optical Network (GPON) equipment will increase due to the increasing penetration of telecom and internet services, as well as the growing need for bandwidth. Data-intensive applications like video on demand, videoconferencing, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) are predicted to increase demand for Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment development.

In comparison to other conventional networks, rising awareness of global warming has led to a rise in demand for eco-friendly solutions throughout the world. In addition, rising demand for safe, secure, and dependable operations, as well as increased digitalization, are likely to drive the passive optical network market demand. Growing demand for high-speed networks at home for accessing smart technologies, as well as increasing fiber-to-the-home deployments for rapid access to data, videos, voice, and services, are all adding to the rise. Over the projection period, demand is likely to be driven by the increasing penetration of smart grids, e-governance services, and cloud computing.

Market Insights–Passive optical network Market

Internet of Things (IoT) is Paving Path for Passive Optical Networks

The Internet of Things (IoT) involves connecting number of devices through a single source, which is achieved through deployment of passive optical network. The global connected devices industry is anticipated to witness an exponential growth over the next five years. The Internet of Things driven products is expected to account for three times the global population over the years. This is due to the rapid technological acceleration, which is increasing the adoption of Internet of Things in every sector. The upsurge in advanced sensors production, and rise in sophistication of cognitive analytics will enable every device to provide feedback with the help of IoT. Passive optical network plays an important role in connecting devices. PON is manageable and scalable, which makes the system flexible. The IoT demands for centralized architecture, and intelligent management, which are key characteristics of PON. In addition, the PON is capable of transmitting data to 32 users at a time, with only one terminal at the source. This facilitates heavily in connecting number of devices through one source terminal. The PON poses various advantages in connecting devices, such as more space, improved scalability, enhanced security, and lowers costs. Attributing to no usage of switches, and no need of cables, number of telecom rooms are used for other purposes, thus, POL is helping in freeing up space. The PON uses less wirings as compared to traditional systems, which increases the ability to scale the system as per the requirement. The Ethernet ports are locked with PON, which need two way access to open, thereby minimizing the risk of data breaching and enhancing the security with PON. As PON utilizes less components and space, the Capex and Opex is greatly reduced as compared to other data transmission systems. Pertaining to these advantages of PON over legacy systems, the Internet of Things service providers are increasingly adopting the robust technology

Technology Insight

Based on the global passive optical network market can be bifurcated into gigabit passive optical network (GPON), ethernet passive optical network (EPON), and others (NG-PON). The demand for internet has witnessed exponential demands in the last few years and with more internet based applications on the plate, this demand is projected to reach unprecedented levels. Sensing an opportunity as a result of exponential demands, the network service providers and internet service providers intend to be prepared to handle large data traffics over the network and satiate the requirements of each and every individual user. A PON being a point-to-multipoint system, it is capable of transmitting data more efficiently. As the main transmission line can be split up into many small separate lines, the infrastructure requirement in this type of architecture is reduced greatly. While all PONs use optical cables and unpowered splitters, there are several different versions. Each different type of PON has a unique upstream and downstream data transmission capability. Also, each type of PON network uses a different multiplexing technology for transmission of data over the network. These different short-haul networks of the fiber-optical cable are used for internet access, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), digital TV delivery, backhaul connections for cellular base-stations, Wi-Fi hotspots, and distributed antenna systems (DAS).

Network Element Segment Insight

The network element segment in passive optical network market include Optical Line Terminal (OLT), Optical Network Terminal (ONT), and Optical Power Splitters. PON is applicable for data-centric networks, as well as full-service voice, data and video networks. The next generation in development of access networks. Ultimately, they can offer the largest bandwidth at the lowest cost. Industry experts anticipate that network-related capital expenditures by telecommunication operators need to be increased at least by 60% for efficient and seamless application of Passive Optical Network technology in the near future from 2017 for a period of 4-5 years which would approximately be double of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) during the period. The optical network terminal segment in the passive optical network market is expected to surge at an exponential rate during the forecast period.

Application Segment Insight

The application segment in passive optical network market include Fiber to the home (FTTH), other Fiber to the building (FTTX), and Mobile Backhaul. Many implementations still use copper cabling to deliver signals to the premises, but prove to be inefficient and insufficient to efficiently transport data over the highly crowded network in the recent times. Increasing demands for providing consumers with higher bandwidths, and the emergence of internet based applications have multiplied traffics over the network. The communication carriers have been seeking to offer a matured and a robust network convergence that would enable high speed data transfers for the consumers and allow for accessing applications such as live TV streaming, voice, video and other applications simultaneously over the same network. The mobile backhaul segment in the passive optical network market is expected to surge at a prime rate during the forecast period.
