Fiber Optic Circulators Global Market Forecast (2010-2015)

April 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Upper Lake, CA (USA) – April 26, 2011  -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market research & technology forecast consultancy addressing the fiber optics communications industry, today announced the release of a new market forecast of the global consumption of fiber optic circulators in optical communications.
   
Fiber optic circulators are used in several applications, including bi-directional transport systems for multiplexing the forward and reverse paths of the optical signal. They also are appropriate in sensing and fiber-optic instrumentation such as in optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) to counter the optical signal loss associated with a double pass of a 3-dB fiber-optic coupler/splitter. In addition, fiber optic circulators are used in applications such as dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks, polarization mode dispersion, optical add-drop modules (OADM), optical amplifiers, and numerous other optical signal processing functions.

According to ElectroniCast, during the forecast period of 2010-2015, the fiber optic circulator value is forecast to increase at an average annual growth rate of 14.29 percent.  The America region (Central, North and South America) leads in relative market share in 2011 (see Data Figure); however, the Asia Pacific region (APAC) consumption value of fiber optic circulators value is forecast to capture the market leadership position before 2015.
