The world was already moving towards adoption of high-speed internet connectivity with 5G and Fibre to the home (FTTH), and the pandemic crisis has hastened the process. This has caused an unprecedented demand for ubiquitous and steady connectivity arising from a shift towards enterprise cloud cases, and from commercial hubs to suburbs. Optical fibre cables, the technological update of copper cables have higher bandwidth capacity and lifespan, can carry signals over longer distances, faster and at much lower signal loss.
With 5G and FTTx picking up pace, the world is moving towards densely fiberized networks. Along with this, the government’s Digital India initiatives and Smart City vision has pushed the market for optical solutions The Optical fibre cable market stood at $881.5 million in 2019 and is projected to attain a rise of $2.1 billion by the year 2024.
