The global planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitters market size reached US$ 1.2 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.2 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during 2024-2032. The significant development in the fiber optics field, the rising demand for rack-mounted design, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities represent some of the key factors driving the market.

A planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitter is an optical power management device used to regulate the power of optical signals through routing and splitting. It is fabricated using silica optical waveguide technology to distribute optical signals. It comprises three layers, a substrate, a waveguide, and a lid. PLC splitter is used for dividing one or two light beams into multiple light beams uniformly or combining multiple light beams into one or two light beams. It offers a wide operation temperature and wavelength range, high reliability, combat size, and improved uniformity. As a result, PLC splitter finds extensive applications in fibre to the X (FTTx) systems, optical LAN, metro, WAN networks, and passive optical networks.

Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) Splitters Market Trends:
The significant development in the fiber optics field across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. PLC splitters have transformed the ways of transmitting data over long distances as they are immune to electromagnetic interferences and are cost-effective. In line with this, the rising demand for wide operating wavelength among well-established end-user industries, as it assists in increasing bandwidth by allowing different data streams to be sent simultaneously over a single optical fiber network, is favoring the market growth. Apart from this, the widespread product utilization in small, simple, and compact components, as it does not require any external power for operation, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the increasing inclination toward high stability of designed devices or components due to the escalating developments for network infrastructure due to rising high-speed internet connectivity requirements is propelling the market growth. Additionally, the widespread utilization of PLC splitters in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks, as they allow a single passive optical network (PON) interface to be shared among many subscribers, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the rising demand for rack-mounted design owing to its capability of serving demanding applications, including data center and telecom networks, is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing focus of manufacturers to enhance performance, widespread product utilization in aerial apparatus and pedestals, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, significant technological advancements, and potential product application in standard telephone cables and surveillance are supporting the market growth.
