A Fusion Splicer is specialized instrument used to join optical fibers to each other. This is the report of the ElectroniCast study of fusion splice machines used for selected fiber optic-based communication applications and for the purpose of the manufacturing of components to be used (consumed) in the selected communication applications.

Regional Markets This ElectroniCast report provides the review analysis of 2013 and a 5-year (2014-2018) forecast of the consumption value of fiber optic fusion splicers, segmented into the following geographic regions and sub- regions:

 North America  Europe  Asia Pacific Region (APAC) o People’s Republic of China o Rest of APAC  Rest of the World

Last year in 2013, the Asia Pacific region led in the consumption value of fiber optic fusion splicers. Helped along substantially by consumption in China, the Asia Pacific region (APAC) is forecast increase in relative market share during the forecast period, driven by countries throughout the region that are bringing fiber closer to the drop-areas (FTTx), as well as the use of fusion splicers in the specialty applications, CATV fiber deployment and in Private Enterprise Networks.

The North American region held the 2nd-place position, followed by the European region. Mexico is part of the North American market forecast, along with Canada and the United States. The Rest of World (ROW) regional segment covers the Middle East, Africa and Central/South America. The South America region, especially, is showing aggressive growth rates in terms of fiber optic fusion splice machine implementation.

Market Forecast by End-Use Application The ElectroniCast global fiber optic fusion splicer market is segmented into the following major application categories:

 Telecommunications  Private Enterprise Networks  Cable TV  Military/Aerospace (Commercial and MIL-SPEC)  Specialty (intra-enclosure, test and measurement, rental units, harsh environment industrial, bio-photonics, sensors, laboratory, manufacturing/production of fiber optic components/devices, other applications/non-specific uses)

According to ElectroniCast Consultants, in 2013 Telecommunications represented 63 percent of the worldwide consumption of fiber optic fusion splicers (see Figure 1). The use of fusion splicers in Specialty applications is forecast to increase at an average annual growth rate of 7.6 percent from 2013- 2018. Consumption of fusion splice equipment in Private Enterprise Networks, Cable TV and Military/Aerospace applications are also quantified in this report of the study.

FIBER OPTIC FUSION SPLICER PRODUCTS

Fusion Splicers Single Fiber Bench top Core-to-Core Fixed Alignment Micro / Handheld Core-to-Core Fixed Alignment Multi-fiber (Ribbon) Bench top Micro / Handheld

Single Fiber Type Remains Market Leader Single fiber types, in 2013, represented nearly 60 percent share of worldwide consumption of fiber optic fusion splicers. The single fiber types of fusion splicer machines are forecast to increase at an average annual growth rate of over 10 percent.

Mass fiber (multiple fiber or ribbon) fusion splicers, in 2013, represented about 40 percent of global fusion splice equipment consumption value. The consumption (use) of mass fiber (multiple or ribbon) fusion splicer machines is forecast to increase at a slower growth rate than the single-fiber fusion splice machine category.

INFORMATION BASE

This study is based on analysis of information obtained continually since 1994, but updated through the beginning of February 2014. During this period, ElectroniCast analysts performed interviews with authoritative and representative individuals in the fiber optics industry plus telecommunications, datacom, military/aerospace and other communication industries, instrumentation/ laboratory – R&D and factory/manufacturing, from the standpoint of both suppliers and users of fiber optic fusion splice products. The interviews were conducted principally with:

 Engineers, marketing personnel and management at manufacturers of fiber optic fusion splice equipment, mechanical splice, connectors, transceivers, as well as laser diodes and photodiodes, application-specific ICs, packages, ferrules and cables, substrate materials, optical waveguide and other components used in the fabrication of optoelectronic transceivers, cable assemblies and installation apparatus

 Design group leaders, engineers, marketing personnel and market planners at major users and potential users of cable, cable assemblies, connectors, installation apparatus, passive devices and transceivers, such as telecommunication transmission, switching and distribution equipment producers, data communications equipment producers (switches, hubs, routers), computer and workstation producers, weapon system, aircraft and spacecraft electronic equipment producers, optical instrumentation system producers and others.

 Other industry experts, including those focused on standards activities, trade associations, and investments.

The interviews covered issues of technology, R&D support, pricing, contract size, reliability, documentation, installation/maintenance crafts, standards, supplier competition and other topics.

Customers also were interviewed, to obtain their estimates of quantities received and average prices paid, as a crosscheck of vendor estimates. Customer estimates of historical and expected near term future growth of their application are obtained. Their views of use of new technology products were obtained.

The analyst then considered customer expectations of near term growth in their application, plus forecasted economic payback of investment, technology trends and changes in government regulations in each geographical region, to derive estimated growth rates of quantity and price of each product subset in each application. These forecasted growth rates are combined with the estimated baseline data to obtain the long-range forecasts at the lowest detailed level of each product and application.

A full review of published information was also performed to supplement information obtained through interviews. The following sources were reviewed:

 Professional technical journals and papers  Trade press articles  Technical conference proceedings  Product literature  Company profile and financial information  Additional information based on previous ElectroniCast market studies  Personal knowledge of the research team

In analyzing and forecasting the complexities of the world region markets for optical interconnect products, it is essential that the market research team have a good and a deep understanding of the technology and of the industry. ElectroniCast members who participated in this report were qualified.

Bottom-up Research Methodology ElectroniCast forecasts are developed initially at the lowest detail level, and then summed to successively higher levels. The background market research focuses on the amount of each type of product used in each application in the base year (2013), and the prices paid at the first transaction from the manufacturer. This forms the base year data. ElectroniCast analysts then forecast the growth rates in component quantity use in each application, along with price trends, based on competitive, economic and technology forecast trends, and apply these to derive long term forecasts at the lowest application levels. The usage growth rate forecasts depend heavily on analysis of overall end user trends toward optical communication equipment usage and economic payback (see Figure 2).

Cross-Correlation Increases Accuracy The quantities of fiber optic fusion splice devices/equipment, fiber optic test equipment, fiber cable, connectors, sensors, transceivers, transport terminals, optical add/drop MUX, photonic switches and other products used in a particular application are interrelated. Since ElectroniCast conducts annual analysis and forecast updates in each fiber optic related product field, accurate current quantity estimates in each application are part of this corporate database. These quantities are cross-correlated as a “sanity check.”

ElectroniCast, each year since 1985, has conducted extensive research and updated our multiple-client forecasts of each fiber optic component category. As technology and applications have advanced, the number of component subsets covered by the forecasts has expanded impressively.

The calculation and analysis data spreadsheet technique is based upon input/output analysis, leveraging the quantitative consumption quantity, price and value of each item in each application at all levels to achieve reasonable quantitative conclusions; This interactive analysis concept, first applied on a major scale by Leonteff, of the US Department of Commerce, in the mid 1950s, was then adopted successfully by analyst/forecasting firms Quantum Science, Gnostic Concepts and (in 1981) by ElectroniCast.
