Optical Transport Network Equipment Market Projected Growth Rate (2022-2032) 9.2%
  • An increasing number of people in the Asia Pacific. The region is seeking higher bandwidth and the region's network infrastructure is expanding.
  • Rising demand for well-developed network infrastructure in several end-use industries.
  • Multiple companies operating in the market, different types of optical transport network equipment are provided with their unique features.
  • Internet penetration, demand for high-speed data networks, and smart electronic device usage are on the rise

Additionally, the market is being offered growth opportunities through the rapid development of new technologies, the rapid growth of Ethernet services, and the increasing use of social media. In addition to serving in the video, voice, and storage applications, OTN equipment facilitates handling Ethernet transparently, which enables better operations, administration, maintenance & provisioning management, and service transparency.

Today, the use of social media is increasing due to the use of smartphones. This has led to an increase in the adoption of OTN technology through webcasting, video conferencing, and online gaming. The high initial costs and a lack of OTN standards can hamper the market growth. Modern technologies such as 40G to 100G can speed up data transfer and handle data traffic, but these technologies require a lot of investment.

Furthermore, corporate clients have seen an increase in bandwidth requirements due to the increasing strain on existing networks, particularly financial institutions and government agencies.

In addition, businesses have found it increasingly difficult to implement and operate their sophisticated systems because of the increasing strain on existing networks.

Two of the opportunities in the global market for optical transport networks can be attributed to the introduction of advanced technologies and the Nexgen optical transport network.

High initial investment impedes Optical Transport Network Equipment Market

It is expected that the high initial investment will pose a major challenge to the optical transport network equipment market during the forecast period. Customers such as telecommunications providers and data center providers are experiencing a significant increase in data consumption.

This will result in an increased demand for OTN equipment in the future. The fast-growing traffic, however, requires a comprehensive set of technologies and services, such as LTE/long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A), big data, Internet of Things, and cloud computing, to keep up with the rapid growth of traffic.

OTN solutions indeed offer increased bandwidth and low latency using WDM technologies, but these solutions can be quite expensive for some customers. As a result of the high capital investment, customers must spend a great deal of money replacing the entire network transport hardware.

The high capital investment results in a long payback period for the investment. As well the fact that the deployment of these projects takes years, particularly in the telecom industry, customers often give them to vendors at a very competitive price.

Consequently, it is expected that the substantial initial investment required to deploy OTNs may inhibit the growth of the global market for OTN equipment.

How is Asia Pacific Region Performing in Optical Transport Equipment Market?

As part of this cluster of regional markets led by countries such as Australia, India, and South Korea, China will continue to be one of the fastest growing. The Asia-Pacific market is predicted to reach USD7.2 Billion by 2027, while Latin America will grow at 15.1% over the same period.
Partnerships, Collaborations, and Agreements:

  • A merger agreement was announced by Ribbon Communications in November 2019 for the purchase of ECI Telecom for USD 486 million.
  • To promote Nokia-branded consumer products in India, Flipkart and Nokia collaborated in 2020. Some of the items included televisions, a laptop, and air conditioners.

Mergers and Acquisitions:

  • Location-based mobile data management technology Placecast was acquired by Ericsson in February 2018. Placecast's infrastructure and capabilities have since been incorporated into Ericsson's programmatic mobile ad business.
  • During September 2020, Ericsson will pay D1.1 billion for Cradlepoint, a carrier equipment manufacturer based in the United States.

With ever-rising traffic over the internet, telecommunication providers are struggling to develop new ways to deal with it which is anticipated to increase the demand for optical transport network equipment during the forecast period.

The optical transport network equipment helps the telecommunication providers to achieve their objective of providing better services in addition to reducing their cost of ownership which is likely to rise in the optical transport network equipment market share.

As a result, the optical transport network equipment market size is anticipated to witness healthy growth rates in the near future as it is a technique to wrap all the digital traffic from multiple services onto optical light paths and at the same time preserve customer, timing and management information.

This enhances the capability of transport networks to carry various data traffic types such as Ethernet, digital video, storage and many more over a single optical frame which is likely to boost the adoption of optical transport network equipment in the market.

The optical transport network equipment are widely used for supervision, transport movements, switching and multiplexing led to an increase in the sales of optical transport network equipment in recent year.

It helps to frame all the data and share them with a single network system in which it is attached or communicated. These factors are useful to detect the data for future work, which is likely to rise in the adoption of optical transport network equipment in the forthcoming year.

The optical transport network equipment market growth is likely to enlarge high as the equipment collects all the relevant information without affecting the transport network as it is transparent and monitors the information from a distance.
