Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The State of the Optical Communications Industry: Maintaining Profitability in 2014" report to their offering.
This report presents a detailed analysis of economic challenges faced by companies throughout the communications supply chain. It examines the profitability and long-term strategies of content providers as well as equipment and component manufacturers. One report section focuses on emergent equipment and component suppliers in China and includes brief profiles of several new entrants.
This report offers an in-depth look at the structure of the optical component and module industry in several market segments, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, WDM, and FTTx. This analysis includes data on market shares of leading vendors sorted into the several categories (top 3, top 4-6, top 7-10, and other vendors), illustrating fragmentation of these market segments. Data on diversification of the top 10 leading suppliers of optical transceivers presented in the report suggest that most component suppliers remain highly specialized. Leading module vendors shared confidential sales data with authors of the report to support this study.
