市场研究reports.com发布了一个市场预测，关于光纤组件的全球消费市场和技术趋势分析，及配套设备和配件，报告的研究对象主要是在恶劣的环境中工作的光纤设备，排除了一般的商业通信环境和电信设施/场所。
根据研究，光无源器件的价值，光纤组件（玻璃光纤和塑料光纤等）(glass optical fiber/GOF plus plastic optical fiber/POF)应用在在恶劣的环境中，在2015达到7亿1100万美元。发射机/接收机单元，在2015的总元件消耗量的43%。预测，从2015年的13亿美元至2020年的26亿美元，平均年增长率为4.6%。
报告指出，从历史上看，恶劣环境下的光纤元件和设备的市场价值中占主导地位的应用在军事/航空航天，在2010年约占68%的份额。”然而，我们预测，军事/航空航天应用的市场份额将在预测期内会减少（2015-2020年），“分析师说，“商业/工业光纤元件的消费会增加，塑料光纤（POF）连接成分为主。然而，玻璃为基础的光纤是在商业/工业应用的机会增加。”
恶劣的环境，定义为环境超越商业电信环境，数值超过通常遇到的限制，数据通信和商业设备内光纤数据链路方面的极端：温度高于或低于（40±75）℃；冲击和振动；外部压力的极端；纤维拉伸强度；高EMI / RFI干扰；腐蚀性和/或溶剂环境；原子和其他辐射；粗糙的搬运安装/部署期间。
Report: Harsh environment fiber-optic components market hit $1.3 billion in 2015
January 7, 2016
Market Research Reports.com has released an extensive market forecast and analysis of the global market consumption and technology trends of fiber-optic components, and supporting devices and parts, which are designed to operate in harsh environments, beyond the environment of commercial telecom and datacom/premises installations.
According to the study, the value of passive optical components, led by fiber-optic cable assemblies (glass optical fiber/GOF plus plastic optical fiber/POF), in harsh environments reached $711 million in 2015. Transmitter/receiver units, held a 43% percent share of total components consumption in 2015. The total use of fiber-optic components used in all harsh environment applications is forecast to increase at an average annual growth rate of 14.6 % from $1.3 billion in 2015 to $2.6 billion in 2020.
The report notes that, historically, the market value of harsh environment fiber-optic components and devices has been dominated by military/aerospace-qualified components, with a 68% share in back in 2010. "However, we forecast that the military/aerospace application’s market share will decrease over the forecast period (2015-2020),” said the analyst, who added, “The commercial/industrial fiber-optic component consumption, in turn, is dominated by plastic optical fiber (POF) link components. However, glass-based optical fiber is finding an increase in opportunity in commercial/industrial applications."
Harsh Environment (HE) is defined by the report as environment beyond the limits normally encountered by commercial telecom, datacom and commercial intra-equipment fiber data links with regard to extremes of: temperature above or below (-40 to +75) degrees C; shock and vibration; external pressure extremes; tensile strength of fiber; high EMI/RFI interference; corrosive and/or solvent surroundings; atomic and other radiation; and rough handling during installation/deployment.
