Global Passive Optical LAN (POL) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Passive Optical LAN (POL) is a new way to structure a telecommunications network, replacing traditional structured cabling, which consisted of multiple levels of switch and router aggregation. POL is a subset of optical networking technology under the greater umbrella of PON (Passive Optical Network). These technologies are tested and have been in use for a long time, mostly in Fiber to the Home installations, metro installations, and large campus installations.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Passive Optical LAN (POL) market finds that the global Passive Optical LAN (POL) market reached a value of USD 232.31 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 865.67 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 24.51% during the forecast period.

Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on Passive Optical LAN (POL) Industry Development

There are significant differences in the impact of countries, which is usually related to the overall economic impact of the pandemic and the degree of government intervention to support the economy and/or specific sectors (including buildings). There are also differences between the vertical markets of passive optical LAN (POL). Industries such as tourism, hotels, and retail have been hit particularly hard, while health, data centers, and in some cases, education is still more active.
2020 was originally a 5G era for EU member states. Countries plan to allocate frequency bands and build 5G facilities. But now because of the epidemic, countries' 5G plans have been shelved. At present, the duration of the epidemic in Europe may be longer than that in Asia, and EU countries have no unified opinions on the choice of 5G equipment suppliers.

Although some European countries have listed plans for the construction of passive optical LAN (POL) networks, they want to speed up network construction. However, the construction of a passive optical LAN (POL) network requires a lot of capital injection. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the economic situation in some countries is sluggish and the growth is weak, which may affect the process in the short term.

Limitations

Although this technology looks very suitable for large-scale greenfield deployments, the existing network may not be changed to POL, at least not immediately. All companies have invested heavily in traditional LAN technology. The POL solution can be an overkill for smaller organizations. Compared with copper wire-based networks, they may not use all the capacity it provides at all, and the solution may become very expensive.
With POL (in its current form), the possibility of a single supplier lock-in is very high. Installation, testing, adding, moving and changing in optical networks are usually more complicated than in copper networks. The upstream bandwidth is smaller/different from the downstream bandwidth. These factors limit the development of the passive optical LAN (POL) market.
