Optical fiber refers to the medium and technology that is used to transmit information through a plastic or glass strand from one source to another. The information is transmitted through optical cables as rapid light pulses. The receiving end of a fiber optic transmission translates the light pulses into binary values. The optical fiber offers numerous advantages such as increased bandwidth, decreased size and weight, electromagnetic interference immunity, data security, electrical isolation, and others. These are used in communication applications, which include telecom, utility, community access television (CATV), military, and others and in non-communication applications such as sensor, fiber optic lighting, and others.
The Optical Fiber Accessories Market was valued at USD 303.2 Million in 2018 and is estimated to reach USD 741.9 Million by 2026, growing at CAGR of 11.7% from 2019 to 2026.
Rise in need for fast and improved networking and network services and an increase in penetration of broadband connections in India are anticipated to be the major drivers of the India optical fiber and accessories market growth. Moreover, rise in demand for optical communication and sensing applications for different purposes, high demand for optical fiber cable (OFC) in the IT & telecom sector, increase in internet penetration, and surge in adoption of fiber to the home (FTTH) connectivity make way for the industry growth. However, high installation cost and enhanced adoption of wireless communication systems are expected to impede the market growth. Conversely, rising government investments in fiber optic network cable (OFC network) infrastructures are expected to present major opportunities for India optical fiber and accessories market expansion during the forecast period. For instance, the Indian government has been investing in OFC network infrastructure to increase internet penetration across the country, which is in line with the government's initiatives such as Digital India and Smart Cities Mission.

Top Impacting Factors
The India optical fiber and accessories market is influenced by a number of factors such as widespread implementation of 5G, increase in adoption of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) connectivity, emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), technological advancements in the fiber optic cable technology, and rise in investments in optical fiber cable (OFC) network infrastructure. These factors collectively provide opportunities for the market growth. However, high installation cost and increase in deployment of wireless communication systems are expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. Thus, each factor has its definite impact on the India optical fiber and accessories market.
Following are the key factors affecting the India optical fiber and accessories market.
Widespread implementation of 5G
The demand for more data and better coverage across the world has been on the rise among consumers. The 5th generation wireless connection is expected to be the next advancement in technology, as it can transmit more data while providing a more steady and reliable connection. The characteristics of 5G, such as higher data speeds and throughputs, are greatly influenced by these heavy-duty optical fiber networks that affect both the wireless side and wireline side of the infrastructure. Moreover, formidable network performance goals of 5G are heavily predicated keeping in mind the huge availability of fiber connectivity. 5G is currently being tested in several markets and is expected to begin widespread implementation in 2020. Existing networks are anticipated to be completely upgraded or replaced before they begin 5G implementation. The demand for optical fiber has been increasing owing to shortage of fiber and long-term plans for installation of networks, owing to which network providers have been negotiating directly with fiber manufacturers to secure a long-term supply of optical fiber.
Increase in adoption of fiber to the home (FTTH) connectivity
FTTH is a popular integrated communication technology that uses fiber optic technology to enable faster and more effective communication. The technology connects homes to the operator through optic fiber wires. It is the most advanced technology for building the next generation of communication networks. For instance, fiber connections are used by more than 130 million homes.
Rise in investments in optical fiber cable (OFC) network infrastructure
The growth of 5G is anticipated to be fueled by the hike in consumer data and proliferation of internet of things (IoT) devices. According to International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the market for IoT devices is projected to generate over $1.7 trillion by 2019. Also, owing to these developments, investments on fiber infrastructure are expected to surpass $144.2 billion during 2014–2019. Moreover, numerous countries have invested in optical fiber deployments, which has been creating opportunities for the market. Furthermore, to meet the set standards, operators from emerging economies, such as India, have been increasingly investing in optical fiber and related technologies. For instance, main drivers for the increase in deployment of optical fiber cable in India are increased 4G deployments in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities and enhanced fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments by telecom operators, ISPs, and MSO providers. In March 2017, ACT Fibernet launched 1 Gbps broadband service in Hyderabad, India, which is 20 times faster than the market average of 50 Mbps. Also, increase in fiber demand, owing to the rural broadband project “BharatNet”, Smart Cities Mission, and large connectivity projects by the Defense, is expected to increase the investment of optical fiber in India.
Technological advancements in the fiber optic cable technology
Advances in technology to improve bandwidth and reduction in attenuation rate have created numerous opportunities for the fiber optics market. The key players of the market have been developing low-loss optical fiber to develop and deliver new generations of optical fiber technology, thereby fueling the expansion of broadband connectivity. For instance, Fujikura, Ltd. launched high performance silica core fiber in November 2017, which is designed for next-generation, long-haul terrestrial networks, and optical transmission systems with high-speed digital signal processing. In addition, Sterlite Technologies, Ltd. announced its new high-quality optical communication products and services in June 2016, which include innovative optical fiber and data cable technologies to deliver smarter and long-lasting networks.
