In-depth analysis of ONT equipment market
The latest published "2015-2018 Global and China ONT Equipment Market Scale and Prospect Forecast Report" starts from the technological development trend of access networks and comprehensively explains that the rapid development of FTTH has brought about the substantial growth of ONT equipment.
The content of the report comprehensively covers the development status and future trends of the upstream, midstream and downstream industry chains, including the PON network construction and future layout of major global operators, the market share and advantageous areas of mainstream equipment manufacturers, ODM /OEM’s shipment status and the development overview of downstream device and chip manufacturers.
FTTH--the ultimate solution for access networks
The backbone network has basically completed the full popularization of optical fiber transmission, and the "last mile" from the backbone network to the user terminal has become the biggest bottleneck limiting user broadband experience.
The FTTH solution based on passive optical network technology uses optical fiber access and has the advantages of wide bandwidth, long transmission distance, strong anti-interference ability and high network reliability. It is considered to be the access network the ultimate solution.
With the growing demand for bandwidth, xDSL access technology based on copper wires has declined.
Countries around the world have proposed their own broadband development strategies.
United Nations Broadband The committee proposes that by 2020, everyone in the world will have access to 20Mb for $20/month ps broadband.
As early as the end of 2013, 146 national governments adopted broadband plans: 2Mbps became the basic speed.
In developed regions, the goal is more radical, and Europe proposed the United States in 2020. Every household can enjoy 30Mbps broadband access service
As time progresses, broadband strategic goals are implemented one after another, and the demand for FTTH is unprecedentedly strong.
The PON network equipment market is booming, and various PON equipment products are introduced to the market.
ONT is the light that is closest to our lives and can be seen Network equipment products are entering thousands of households.
ONT, what we often call fiber optic modem, is gradually squeezing the traditional router market, and its functions are also constantly expanding. ONTs with "triple network integration" The product may become a standard feature of every home connection terminal.
The development status of ONT equipment in the region
Currently, global PON equipment products mainly include GPON, EPON and 10GPON products.
The market application of 10G PON products has not yet formed a large scale, and it is not on the same order of magnitude as the first two. OFweek Industry Research Center does not list 10G PON products separately.
demand in the global PON equipment market remains strong in 2015. It is estimated that OLT port shipments in 2015 will increase by 20% compared to 2014, reaching 6.48 million; ONT port shipments will increase by 30%, reaching 78 million.
In 2014, global PONOLT port shipments reached 5.4 million, an increase of 21% over 2013; PON ONT port shipments reached 60 million, an increase of 21% over 2013.
In market segments, GPON’s market share has completely surpassed EPON’s and its advantages are further expanding.
In 2014, GPON OLT port shipments reached 4.13 million, a year-on-year increase of 31%; GPON ONT shipments reached 40.72 million ports, a year-on-year increase of 38%.
EPON OLT port shipments were 1.27 million, down 3% year-on-year; EPON ONT port shipments were 19.28 million, down 4% year-on-year.
From the perspective of regional markets for PON products, the North American and European markets are basically GPON products, while EPON is mainly concentrated in the Asia-Pacific market.
From the perspective of regional shipments, the Asia-Pacific and European markets are currently experiencing the fastest growth, while the North American market is showing a saturated trend.
Especially in the Asia-Pacific market, more than 80% of the world's PON equipment is in this region. Japan and South Korea have the highest penetration rates. China is currently the largest demand place, and India and Southeast Asian countries will be the largest in the future. potential market.
The largest European market is Russia, followed by France, France Telecom Orange is the most active. The UK has re-examined the technical solution after rejecting FTTH. Vodafone is actively strengthening fiber broadband cooperation with other operators.
Market share of mainstream equipment vendors
China is the largest demand region for PON equipment in the world, and China is also the largest exporter of PON equipment products.
China's three major equipment vendors Huawei, ZTE, and FiberHome rank 1st, 2nd, and 4th in the global PON equipment market, with a total market share as high as 70%.
As far as global regions are concerned, the Indian, Southeast Asian and African markets will be very large potential markets in the future, and these markets are areas that Chinese equipment manufacturers are better at exploring. OFweek Industry Research Center predicts that in the future, Chinese equipment The global market share of the company's PON equipment shipments will further expand.
The global ONT equipment market is divided into four market segments, Asia Pacific, CALA, EMEA and North America.
In the first three markets, Huawei, ZTE, and Alcatel-Lucent occupy the top three positions.
As for the North American market, especially the US market, due to economic restrictions on Chinese equipment manufacturers, neither Huawei nor ZTE have been able to enter this market.
In the Asia-Pacific market, which has the largest market share, Huawei has an absolute advantage, which is also the key to Huawei's global market share leadership.
