New CIR Report Predicts $4.8 Billion ($US) Telecom Transponder/Transceiver Market In 2013
July 31, 2008
Glen Allen, Virginia: According to a new report from CIR, an industry analyst firm based here, the market for telecom transceivers and transponders modules will grow from $1.5 billion in 2008 to $4.8 billion in 2013. Additional details about the new report can be found at www.cir-inc.com. Members of the press can request an executive summary of the report.
The sweet spot for module makers is still in the 10-Gbps space, supporting the growing deployment of OC-192 in the metro and to a lesser extent in the access networks. The trend towards replacing 300-pin, XENPAK, X2, and XPAK with XFP (including XFP-E) and SFP+ presents numerous opportunities. Key competitive factors in the OC-192 SONET/SDH sector will include higher densities, lower power consumption, and improved reach. By 2013, the value of OC-192 modules shipped will be more than $450 million.
The global shift from TDM to WDM is underway and the long-prophesied all-optical network is finally becoming a realityspurred on both by growing bandwidth demands and by the more flexible bandwidth management in WDM equipment. In this segment, many of the opportunities have to do with tunability, a technique whose capabilities have yet to be fully explored. At the module level this translates into demand for more tunable modules (especially pluggable ones) and the ability to bring cost points down to where tunables can be used more widely in metro (and perhaps even in access) networks. By 2013, more than $1.8 billion in WDM modules will be shipped.
The PON market continues to go creating a buoyant market for diplexers, triplexers as well as conventional SFP transceiver modules. By 2013, PON transceivers will represent the largest sector of the telecom modules market with $2.4 billion in revenues.
