Taiwan optical communication compound annual growth rate of 22% output value accounted for 11% of the world

According to Taiwan media reports, cloud computing and network information flow increases considerably, promote optical communication equipment demand, Taiwan Optoelectronics Association ( PIDA ) said recently, the expected 2009 to 2013 years, Taiwan optical communication industry will be about 22% of the average compound annual growth rate continued to grow.

The Council noted that in 2010, Taiwan optical communication value reached 21600000000 ( NT ) achieves the history new tall, has 10% of the world market proportion, is expected in 2011 will increase by 1 percentage points; with the global optical communication market is expected to turn, hope in 2015 2 into above proportion of possession.

Since 2000 time communications market bubble since, global optical communication industry but after atrophy associated with, until the 2006 gradually stabilized, 2010 was finally able to have relatively substantially growth, restart the optical communication market bright future.

Basically, due to optical communication is the communication in the field of integral technology, but also broadband areas most capable of providing high speed communications technology, and optical communication market will have certain basic needs.

The United States survey firm LightCounting report points out, " the whole communication industry supply chain profitability improved substantially ".

The LightCounting report says that, from 1999 to 2000 in the com bubble ( enterprise network bubble ) influence aftermath, after nearly 10 years of global communication industry wireless block. Although communication component and equipment demand is robust recovery, from the end of 2010 to early 2011 enterprise of rising stock prices, investors in the investment market is still cautious attitude.

However, most of the service provider to increase network traffic does not delay required network infrastructure in most of Xinhua, are in profit is the biggest change work hard and perseveringly. Investment in infrastructure and inadequate, the capacity of the network will become unsuitable, will include end users and service providers throughout the supply chain, resulting in bad influence.

LightCounting thinks, although bubble period settings remaining capacity fully, make the industry is in several years no need substantial investment. However, now the remaining portion has been completely use do not, that is not suitable for the present communication mode. The new demand in including cloud computing, OTT ( Over the Top ) services, data center, and the plane type network architecture ( flat network architecture ) and other new technology arisen and been restarted.

The Council said, the 2010 Taiwan optical communication first breakthrough in 20000000000 NT, reached 21600000000, a record not only, also handed over a beautiful 31% growth rate. The expected 2009 to 2013 years, Taiwan optical communication industry with about 22% of the average compound annual growth rate continued to grow.

In the global industrial competition and cost under pressure, Taiwan optical communication components industry still can have competition ability is excellent price ( price and performance ratio), i.e. higher quality than the Asia-Pacific neighbours products; price is lower than the European and American products.

Especially Taiwan optical transceiver module products have been into the maker's supply chain, providing module or module of foundry services. In recent years the Taiwan optical communication components industry chain is also a bubble was complete, such as optical transceiver module in laser epitaxial chip and various packaging, and module production, Taiwan optical communication industry in the global market is always aim high.
