Global Optical Distribution Frame Market: Overview

An optical distribution frame is a frame used to enable cable interconnections between communication facilities, which can integrate fiber splicing, fiber optic adapters & connectors, fiber termination, and cable connections together in a single unit. An optical distribution frame is widely used for connecting optical fiber cables and equipment’s in a centralized network or data center.

Global Optical Distribution Frame Market: Dynamics

Growing adoption of optical distribution frames for application in cloud-based networking devices is a key factor expected to drive growth of the global optical distribution frames market over the forecast period. In addition, increasing adoption of fiber cable connections and networks for communications purposes in developing and developed countries across the globe is among major factors expected to boost growth of the global optical distribution frame market during the forecast period.

Growing demand for optical distribution frames is increasing currently due to continuous growth in the number of connected devices in data centers for data acquisition, data monitoring, and related services, etc. in countries in developing regions, which includes Asia, Latin America, and Africa

For instance, CommScope, Inc. and OFS Fitel, LLC, which is a US-based designer, manufacturer, and provider of optical fiber products, fiber optic cable, connectivity solutions, fiber-to-the-subscriber (FTTx), and specialty fiber optic products; entered into a new eight-year partnership to enable availability of optical fiber supply to CommScope, Inc. for use in its customer networks.

Moreover, increasing digitalization helps federal and state governments to fulfill their objectives with greatly increased productivity and efficiency. Various industries integrate cutting-edge technologies such as cloud, mobile, artificial intelligence, and automation along with modern management practices, which is in turn is expected to fuel demand for optical distribution frames in various developing countries over the forecast period.

However, various telecom operators have reached saturation levels in their core FTTH infrastructure and low infrastructure spending by telecom service providers on legacy FTTH technologies such as 1G Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and 2.5G gigabit passive optical networks (GPON). As this low budget and declining service provider needs to focus on replacing existing infrastructure with upcoming advanced technologies such as XGS-PON and NGPON-2 are among major factors expected to decline target market growth to a certain extent. Moreover, availability of alternate solutions and virtual storage systems that are cost efficient than optical distribution frame, is another factor expected to restraint revenue growth of target market over the forecast period.

Global Optical Distribution Frame Market: Opportunities & Trends

Increasing collaborations of data center service providers and manufacturers will provide a beneficial opportunity for global manufacturers of optical distribution frame players over the forecast period.

Furthermore, strategic consolidation activities and technological advancements are some more opportunities for growth of the global market. In addition, optical distribution frame manufacturers are focusing on introducing new products and innovating existing products with technological advancement and product enhancements in order to broaden respective products offerings is another factor expected to proliferate revenue growth opportunities for players operating in the global market. Also for players that are new entrée in the target market are expected to propel initiates in transitioning the traditional or legacy data center into advance and intelligent systems.

For instance, In July 2018, Corning Incorporated, which is a US-based manufacturer of specialty glasses, ceramics, and related materials, launched the Optical Network Evolution SD-LAN solution, which applies software-defined technology benefits of adaptability, scalability, and intelligence to the in-building local area network
