2 North America Outside Plant Fiber Optic Installation Apparatus Market Forecast and Analysis ( ) Published: June 30, 2016 PDF File: 266 pages PDF Excel File: Market Forecast Database PowerPoint File: Summary Data Figures Fee: USD 4,400 Files sent by Report Description This study report provides a comprehensive market forecast and analysis of the North America regional consumption of outside plant fiber optic installation apparatus (FOIA) products. Competitive analysis of the major vendors of selected products for fiber optic installation apparatus is also provided. The quantitative market forecast data presented in this study report are segmented into the following geographic sections, plus a (total) North America summary: The North American Region o United States of America (USA) o Rest of North America (Canada and Mexico Combined) The forecast for each product-level is presented by function: Consumption Value ($, Million) Number of Units (Quantity in 1,000) Average Selling Prices ($, each) Also, the fiber optic installation apparatus products market forecast data are built up from specific application, as shown below, as well as from selected product-type segments. Telecommunications/Multimedia Private Data Networks Cable TV/Multimedia Military/Harsh Environment

3 Product Category List Service providers that provide landline telephony are considered in the Telecommunications category, even if they also provide Internet, Cable TV, as well as mobile/cell phone service; service providers that offer mobile/cell phone service (only) are considered in the Telecommunications application category. Service providers that provide Cable TV and/or Internet and (plus) mobile/cell phone service are considered in the Cable TV/Multimedia application category. Companies that provide Internet (only) are considered in the Cable TV/Multimedia category.

4 Information Base for the Market Forecast Market analysis and forecasting are complex tasks. Any predictions of the shape and trends of technology and economic movement start from the notion that the germ of what will be important tomorrow is present, although smaller or larger or in a different form, in our environment today. However, taking as a basis for a prediction the assumptions of current, conventional belief creates a set of preconceived notions that can lead to serious mistakes. ElectroniCast, instead, looks to the basic driving forces. The future market for this particular type of fiber optic product category depends on a number of factors, including: User equipment demand The continuing trend of regarding increasing performance/cost ratio, driving an economics based expansion Current and future use of other competing technologies, based on economic advantage and technology advancement Possible displacement of these technologies by other solutions Shifts in the types and technologies of products deployed and in their end applications Trends in world economies, regional economies and government policies ElectroniCast analysts perform interviews with authoritative and representative individuals involved with fiber optic installation apparatus component and device (product) development and marketing/sales, from the standpoint of both suppliers and users of pertinent products. The interviews are conducted principally with: Engineers, marketing personnel and management at manufacturers of the pertinent types of products. Design group leaders, engineers, marketing personnel and market planners at major users and potential users of the applicable products. Other industry experts, including those focused on standards activities, trade associations, and investments. The interviews cover issues of technology, R&D support, pricing, contract size, reliability, documentation, installation/maintenance crafts, standards, supplier competition and other topics. Customers (contractor/installers, telecommunication operators, distributors, similar) are interviewed, to obtain their estimates of quantities received and average prices paid, as a crosscheck of vendor estimates. Customer estimates of historical and expected near term future growth of their application are obtained. Their views of use of new technology products will be researched.

5 A review of published information was also performed to supplement information obtained through interviews. The following sources are reviewed: Professional technical journals and papers Trade press articles Technical conference proceedings Product literature Company profile and financial information Additional information based on previous ElectroniCast market studies Personal knowledge of the research team. In analyzing the complexities of the marketplace for the selected products, it is essential that the market research team have a good and a deep understanding of the technology and of the industry. ElectroniCast members who participate in this study are qualified. Bottom-up Methodology ElectroniCast forecasts, as illustrated in the forecast data base structure, Chapter 6, are developed initially at the lowest detail level, then summed to successively higher levels. The background market research focuses on the amount of each type of product used in each application in the base year (2015), and the prices paid at the first transaction from the manufacturer. This forms the base year data. ElectroniCast analysts then forecast the growth rates in component quantity use in each application, along with price trends, based on competitive, economic and technology forecast trends, and apply these to derive long term forecasts at the lowest application levels. The usage growth rate forecasts depend heavily on analysis of overall end user trends toward digital broadband communication equipment usage and economic payback. Cross-Correlation Increases Accuracy The quantities of fiber optic attenuators, DWDM, optical fiber/cable, connectors, transceivers, transport terminals, optical add/drop MUX, couplers/splitters, isolators, photonic switches and other products used in a particular application are interrelated. Since ElectroniCast conducts annual analysis and forecast updates in each fiber optic related product field, accurate current quantity estimates in each application are part of this corporate database. These quantities are cross-correlated as a sanity check. ElectroniCast, each year since 1985, has conducted extensive research and updated their forecasts of each fiber optic component category. As technology and applications have advanced, the number of component subsets covered by the forecasts has expanded impressively. The calculation and analysis data spreadsheet technique is based upon input/output analysis, leveraging the quantitative consumption quantity, price and value of each item in each application at all levels to achieve reasonable

6 quantitative conclusions; this interactive analysis concept, first applied on a major scale by Leonteff, of the US Department of Commerce, in the mid 1950s, was then adopted successfully by analyst/forecasting firms Quantum Science, Gnostic Concepts and (in 1981) by ElectroniCast.
