CIR Releases New Report on Data Communications Transceiver Market
June 10, 2008
Glen Allen, Virginia: According to a new report from CIR, an industry analyst firm based here, the market for data communications transceivers will grow from $4.0 billion in 2008 to $13.4 billion in 2013. Additional details about the data communications report can be found at www.cir-inc.com. Members of the press can request an executive summary of the report.
A second report addressing the telecommunications transceiver and transponder market will follow in early July.
CIR's new report identifies a number of important new opportunities.
With prices for copper based 10 GigE already well under $200 per port and the need to aggregate GigE throughout the enterprise network, CIR expects that this new networking standard is at the cusp of a major ramp up. By 2013, shipments of 10 GigE transceivers will be valued at $7.1 billion according to the new report. By that date, the firm expects that high end business PCs will sport 10 GigE interfaces.
In 2008, CIR estimates that about 2 percent of the 10 GigE market is represented by copper ports with almost all of them being CX4 formats. By 2013, almost 45 percent of 10 GigE ports will be copper and will use the new T format. At the same time, on the fiber side, CIR is predicting that the LRM standard will take off and will account for $1.7 billion in sales by 2013.
Fueled by new regulatory requirements and Web 2.0 applications, CIR also expects the Fibre Channel transceiver market to exceed $1.0 billion by 2010 for the first time and will go on to reach $3.3 billion in revenues by 2013, by which time as much as 75 percent of the value of shipments will be accounted for by the new 16 Gbps FC standard.
