5 Abstract Demand for optics from Chinese service providers surprised the industry in It started with massive deployments of FTTx systems and continued with optical fronthaul in the access markets. Adoption of next generation 10G PON and 25G fronthaul optics will sustain demand for access optics in First deployments of 100G DWDM technology in core networks set up high expectations for scale of future projects. Chinese Internet companies are starting to build datacenters requiring more optical connectivity inside and outside of these facilities. The datacenter upgrades will boost demand for 100GbE transceivers and 25G AOCs in 2018 and beyond. This report discusses current and future infrastructure projects of Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Internet Content Providers (ICPs) in China. It analyses the impact of these projects on the demand for optical networking equipment, optical modules and components. The report also discussed history of optical component and module manufacturing in China and analyses challenges ahead. It includes profiles of the leading Chinese CSPs, ICPs, equipment manufacturers and suppliers of optical component and modules. Appendix to the report includes translation of highlights from the latest Roadmap of Optoelectronics Industry in China. The report includes a companion spreadsheet containing a detailed 5-year shipment and revenue forecast of optical component demand in China. 4
