Optical Fiber Preform Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028


Global Optical Fiber Preform Market is expected to grow at a robust pace in the forecast period of 2023-2028.

Optical Fiber Preforms are used to manufacture optical fibers that can transmit data at high speeds. Preforms are typically made by three chemical vapor deposition processes: Internal vapor deposition, external vapor deposition, and axial vapor deposition. Optical waveguides are flexible, transparent fiber cables made of high-quality glass, plastic, and silica that work on the theory of total internal reflection of light. Optical fiber is mainly used for light transmission and illumination, laser transmission systems, and flexible bundling. Intensive research and development of fiber optic technology has led to several innovations and enabled a wide range of applications for fiber optics in the field of oil and gas, medical, utilities, and defense industries. The market is primarily driven by the increasing use of fiber optic preforms to construct flexible and transparent fiber optic cables, which can transmit data at high speeds to meet the growing demand for high-bandwidth internet connections.

Rising demand worldwide

Key players in the optical fiber preform market are taking necessary steps to improve the overall energy efficiency and performance of optical fiber preform to meet the growing demand for components for teleconferencing applications and mobile computing devices. To overcome electronic bottlenecks at the network edge, metropolitan areas are increasingly being built with optical technology, thus increasing the demand for optical fiber preform market worldwide.

Increasing investment in telecommunication infrastructure coupled with continuous advancement in fiber optic technology is expected to propel the optical fiber preform market during the forecast period. Moreover, with the development of fiber-rich network infrastructure, the demand for fiber optic cables is increasing, which will greatly boost the growth of the global optical fiber preform market. Moreover, increasing demand for high-bandwidth communications is one of the key factors expected to drive the growth of the global optical fiber preform market during the forecast period. Moreover, increasing traffic means increasing demand for fiber optic networks, which drives the growth of the fiber optic preform market.

Fiber deployment to households in the European Union has tripled in the last five years, reaching 60 million subscribers and 118 million households in 2021, according to FTTH Council Europe. The Europe Union & UK is expected to have additional 90 million subscribers in 27 countries during the year 2023, thus driving the demand for optical fiber performance in the region.

High Installation cost

The higher installation costs of fiber optic cable and rising raw material costs are restraining the growth of the fiber optic preform market during the forecast period. As population & urbanization is increasing, and with work from home continuing in 2022 and for a few more years, demand for fiber optic cable is also rising. But the increasing cost will cause a hindrance to the growth of the market.t
