CIR Projects Optical Ethernet Components Market To Reach $2.7 Billion in 2011
May 25, 2006
News Release
Charlottesville, VA: CIR, an industry analyst firm based here, has released preliminary findings from its upcoming report on optical components. The firm predicts that in the year 2011 the optical Ethernet components market will grow to $2.7 billion in revenues. CIR also states that copper-based Ethernet transceivers will achieve revenues of $4.7 billion in the same time period. CIR will be releasing its new report, Optical Components, The Next Wave the week of June 5th. Details about the report can be found at www.cir-inc.com.
According to CIRs upcoming report, 2008 appears to be a breakout year for the 10GigE market due in part to the burgeoning use of 10 Gbps for high-end servers, many of which now are forced to use multiple 1-Gbps links. With prices falling for 10-Gig lasers and the arrival of low-cost standardized copper-based 10-Gbps connections, 10GigE is rapidly becoming an economically viable option for both server and inter-switch links in data centers and corporate networks. Meanwhile, Gigabit Ethernet is now the Ethernet-of-choice for almost every business-class computer, which in turn will force the issue of 10GigE deployments even further. As these transitions occur, component manufacturers will have to adjust their marketing strategies and production plans to match the changing laser and detector requirements of the new Ethernet market.
