          Abstract:

        Despite near term uncertainty in the market, the optical communications industry is well positioned for growth in 2011-2015. Record sales of optical components and modules in 2010 are an early indication of the industry wide recovery. While growth in the optical networking equipment market lagged behind sharp increases in components sales last year, equipment sales are expected to accelerate in 2011. A slowdown in component sales reported by suppliers in early 2011 should not last for more than a quarter or two and this market will return to growth in the second part of 2011, as fluctuations in the industry supply chain even out. Lightcounting expects growth rates in the optical component market to remain higher than the networking equipment market over the next several years, since optics accounts for an increasingly larger fraction of equipment vendor cost and revenue.
 
        The forecast report presents an analysis of infrastructure upgrades of the top ten network operators, a summary of trends in the networking equipment market and a detailed analysis of the forecast for optical components and modules. The forecast database (offered as an Excel file) includes historical data from 2008 to 2010, as well as a forecast through 2015 for optical components and modules used in Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SONET/SDH, CWDM/DWDM, wireless infrastructure, FTTx, and high performance computing applications. Historical sales data for the period from 2008 to 2010 is based on data from more than 30 transceiver vendors, including 25 vendors that shared confidential sales data with LightCounting. The market forecast out to 2015 is based on LightCounting‘s model which correlates transceiver sales with network traffic growth and projected subscribers of FTTx systems. 

      Executive Summary

        Sales of optical components and modules increased more than 35% in 2010, recovering from the market slowdown in late 2008 and early 2009. At the same time, capital expenditures (CapEx) of leading service providers increased by only 3% in 2010, while sales of optical networking equipment were flat for the year. Despite poor correlation in growth rates across the supply chain, industry momentum is positive: the 3% increase in CapEx for 2010 is an improvement from a 9% decline in 2009; flat sales in optical networking is also a step up from a 4% decline in this market in 2009. We expect global carrier CapEx and sales of optical networking equipment to resume moderate growth in 2011 driven by 4G deployments and optical infrastructure upgrades, with growth continuing through 2015. Sales of optical components and modules are expected to grow significantly faster, as illustrated by data on optical transceiver sales presented in Figure 1.
