REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a newly published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, the total Wavelength Division Multiplexer or WDM market, comprising long haul and metro applications, grew seven percent in 2014, reaching almost $9.5 billion.
"It was another strong year for optical WDM equipment," said Jimmy Yu, Vice President of Optical Transport research at Dell'Oro Group. "The majority of market growth for the year came from heightened demand in China where all service providers are shifting from rolling out 40 Gbps wavelengths to 100 Gbps wavelengths. As a result, we calculate that the global shipments of 100 Gbps wavelengths doubled in 2014, contributing nearly half the total market revenue for the year," added Mr. Yu.
Regional growth rates and WDM Equipment market share leaders for full year 2014 are listed in the following table.
