North America Optical Fiber Cable Market Outlook, 2028

North America Optical Fiber Cable Market Outlook, 2028


The North American optical fibre cable industry is being driven by increased demand for high-speed internet. Furthermore, optical fibre cable innovation is fueling the growth of the North American optical fibre cable industry. Furthermore, the expanding IT and telecommunications industries are likely to enhance the market. In North America, there is an ongoing demand for high-speed internet. Its wide bandwidth expansion and low attention make it ideal for gigabit transmission. The majority of organisations require high-speed gigabit transmission, which necessitates the use of a high-speed optical fibre network. North America's communication infrastructure is supported by optical cabling. The increased deployment of data centres across the area is propelling the fibre optic component market forward. Fibre optic components are used in intra and inter data centre communications. The optical cable that connects two data centres can extend thousands of km and must transmit data at high rates. As a result, data centres require high data capacity to send massive amounts of data over long distances, which is driving up demand for fibre optic components used in data centres. There has been a significant push for Fiber to the Home deployment (FTTH) in North America. Telecommunication companies and internet service providers are investing in expanding their fiber optic networks to residential areas, enabling faster broadband speeds and improving overall network performance. The introduction of 5G technology has increased the requirement for reliable and high-capacity backhaul networks. Optical fibre is critical to supporting 5G infrastructure because it provides the essential capacity and low latency for the transmission of enormous amounts of data. The expansion of Internet of Things devices and apps has created a demand for dependable, high-bandwidth connectivity. Optical fibre networks can handle the huge data transfer demands of IoT devices while also enabling smooth connectivity between devices and cloud-based applications.

According to the research report, “North America Optical Fiber Cable Market Outlook, 2028"", published by Bonafide Research, the market was valued at over USD 804 Million in 2022. Higher fibre count Fibre-optic cables are becoming more common in North America. Furthermore, bend-insensitive fibres are becoming more popular in North America. These fibres are engineered to minimise signal loss or degradation when bent, allowing for greater flexibility and ease of installation in a variety of situations. As fibre optic networks become more sophisticated, there is a greater need for advanced testing and monitoring solutions. Among them are optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs), power metres, and optical spectrum analyzers, which help with network troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance optimisation. Telecommunication companies have been expanding their networks to meet the growing demand for broadband services. Optical fiber cables offer higher bandwidth capacity compared to traditional copper-based infrastructure, making them an ideal choice for upgrading and expanding telecommunications networks. Fiber optic cables can transmit data over longer distances with minimal signal loss, enabling the efficient delivery of high-speed internet and other communication services. Optical fiber cables provide superior signal quality and reliability compared to copper cables. They are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring consistent and high-quality data transmission. This reliability makes fiber optic cables particularly attractive for critical applications such as telecommunications, finance, healthcare, and transportation, where uninterrupted connectivity is crucial. The proliferation of bandwidth-intensive applications and technologies has driven the need for higher bandwidth capacities. Optical fiber cables can support much greater data transmission rates compared to traditional copper cables. As a result, businesses and consumers are increasingly adopting fiber optic infrastructure to meet their growing bandwidth requirements, such as high-definition video streaming, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Based on the report, the market is segmented into US, Canada and Mexico. The United States is significantly dominating the market with highest market share in North America. The United States has the largest economy and population in North America, making it a significant consumer of optical fiber cables. The United States has a robust ecosystem for technological innovation and research and development (R&D). It is home to several prominent technology companies, research institutions, and universities that drive advancements in optical fiber technology. This ecosystem fosters innovation, attracting investments and talent in the optical fiber industry and enabling the development of cutting-edge products and solutions. Furthermore, The United States has one of the most extensive and advanced telecommunication infrastructures in North America. The country has a high penetration of broadband services and a well-established telecommunications industry. The demand for optical fiber cables is driven by the need to upgrade and expand existing infrastructure to meet the growing demand for high-speed internet and advanced communication services. During the anticipated time frame Canada is expected to grow steadily with Highest CAGR in North America.

Based on cable type, the market is segmented into Single mode and Multi-mode. The Single mode is significantly leading the market of optic fiber cable market in 2022. Single-mode fibers have a smaller core diameter, allowing for better propagation of light signals with minimal dispersion. This characteristic enables single-mode cables to transmit data over longer distances compared to multimode cables. As a result, single-mode cables are favoured in applications that require long-haul communication, such as long-distance telecommunications, intercontinental connectivity, and submarine cables. Furthermore, Single-mode fibers have a higher bandwidth capacity compared to multimode fibers. They can support higher data rates, enabling the transmission of large volumes of data over greater distances. With the increasing demand for high-speed internet and data-intensive applications, single-mode cables are preferred in scenarios that require high bandwidth capacity and long-range connectivity. Single-mode cables are extensively used within data centers for high-speed and long-distance connectivity. They facilitate reliable and efficient data transmission between servers, storage systems, and networking equipment, supporting the increasing demands of cloud computing, big data, and other data center applications. The scalability and long-range capabilities of single-mode cables make them suitable for large-scale data center deployments.

The Installation type includes, Overhead, Underground and Submarine. The Overhead segment is dominating the market with significant market share. Overhead installation of fiber optic cables is generally more cost-effective compared to underground installation. Overhead infrastructure requires fewer materials and labor, resulting in lower installation costs. This cost advantage has made overhead installation a preferred choice, especially in areas with existing overhead utility poles or aerial infrastructure. Overhead installation offers faster deployment compared to underground installation. Installing fiber optic cables overhead involves leveraging existing utility poles and aerial infrastructure, which reduces the need for extensive excavation and construction work. This significantly reduces the installation time and allows for faster network expansion and connectivity deployment. Many regions in North America already have a well-established network of utility poles and aerial infrastructure in place. Leveraging this existing infrastructure for overhead installation of fiber optic cables eliminates the need for additional underground construction, minimizing disruptions to the environment and reducing the time and cost associated with new infrastructure development.
