Optical Transport Equipment Market Reached $2.8 Billion in 1Q 2015, According to Dell'Oro Group
Data Center Interconnection Driving Market Growth
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center information technology (IT) industries, the Optical Transport equipment market reached $2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2015. The majority of the optical market's growth was due to the continuous need for more wavelength division multiplexers (WDM). In the quarter, the total WDM market, which comprises 76 percent of the optical market's revenue, grew five percent year-over-year.
"One of the main drivers for WDM equipment demand is the interconnection of data centers, which are on the rise as users increase their consumption of content such as video," said Jimmy Yu, Vice President of Optical Transport research at Dell'Oro Group. "Of greater interest in the optical market is the changing customer type, as more of these data center interconnects (DCI) are purchased directly by the enterprise rather than as a service from an operator. We believe approximately 12 percent of WDM revenues in the first quarter were generated from data center interconnection, purchased directly by enterprise customers," added Mr. Yu.
