The demand for optical fiber and cable market is higher than expected, and my country will usher in a traffic economy

At present, my country accounts for the largest share of global optical fiber demand, and my country's demand for optical fiber and cable is higher than expected. The global demand for optical fiber and cable has reached a record high this year, exceeding 400 million core kilometers. my country is still the largest booster for the development of the global optical fiber and cable industry.

Looking at the development history of my country's optical fiber and cable industry, the industry experienced a leap in quantity in 2015. This year, under the guidance of my country's "Broadband China", "Internet +" and "Three Networks Integration" policies, the downstream market of my country's optical fiber and cable industry will continue to expand.

According to the analysis of the "China Optical Fiber and Cable Industry Report" by the Forward Industry Research Institute, the average annual growth rate of Internet traffic in the world is nearly 30%! This means that optical fiber and cable, as the infrastructure of the Internet, will once again become the focus of investment as the scale of traffic consumption expands.

At the same time, my country's optical fiber and cable manufacturing industry is also rising strongly. For major manufacturers, it is time to expand production capacity. From the perspective of all links in the industrial chain, the field of optical fiber preforms still needs operators to vigorously develop. The shortage of optical fiber preforms in the market will limit the release of market demand. Therefore, this has become a major direction for current investment in the optical fiber and cable industry.

Furthermore, the subdivided links such as optical fiber cable materials and optical fiber drawing will also be extended with the expansion of optical fiber application fields. However, relatively speaking, the fields of raw materials and preforms have higher profits.

From the current application status of optical fiber and cable, the G.652 optical fiber used in the network can already meet the needs of 100G network transmission. In addition, optical fiber is gradually developing in the direction of low damage and large effective area. For technological innovation, how to overcome the influence of nonlinear effects and solve the attenuation problem caused by long-distance transmission has become the key.

Moreover, from the perspective of application fields, optical fiber and cable will gradually become popular in non-communication fields in the future, such as urban intelligent information system management, industrial control, disaster prevention and control, etc. Enterprises can focus on these areas.

From the perspective of risk, the fiber optic cable industry is mainly faced with whether the macro-economy is stable and whether consumption and demand exist. At present, the answer is relatively positive. In terms of fields, technological innovation will appear in the downstream, especially in various network terminal fields, and such innovation will promote the demand for network applications and capacity.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, the optical fiber and cable industry will have a relatively broad space for development in the future.
