Currently, the portable optical spectrum analyzer dominates the market in terms of product type. Portable optical spectrum analyzers are inexpensive and can easily scan, locate and classify the signals required in the environmental field. Handheld analyzers, which are highly preferred as a test tool for almost all forms of radio and fiber optic communication, are widely used by end users such as IT and telecommunications, medicine and healthcare, etc.
The wavelength counter mode is the dominant mode among the mode types on the market and is expected to remain in place throughout the forecast period. Wavelength measurement mode can accurately measure wavelengths in laser beams and is therefore in high demand among various end-users from IT to semiconductors to electronics. With the addition of advanced display and software functions, this mode can work more efficiently to detect and display wavelength, wave number, and optical frequency values. As a result, this type of mode is in high demand in various applications such as medical device testing, 5G network connectivity, and others around the world.
One of the main applications for OSAs is in the telecommunications market, where dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is used to provide high-bandwidth data over fiber optics. Most telecommunications equipment manufacturing procedures include wavelength characterization tests to qualify a product for market entry; the demand for OSA from this industry is considerably high. Rapidly evolving communication networks and new spectrum such as 5G are also creating significant demand opportunities for advanced telecommunications equipment, helping to increase demand for AOS from telecom manufacturers. Furthermore, the reduction in the number of 2G service providers should stimulate R&D activities in search of cheaper communication alternatives that could replace 2G.
North America is holding the highest shares of the optical spectrum analyzers market. The country has some form of high demand from almost all end users. The rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 initiatives that foster automation and the connected manufacturing environment is one of the main drivers of demand for optical spectrum analyzers in the region. Due to the advancement of 5G in the region, all major service providers are moving towards launching devices that support the new technology, thus creating a potential demand for OSA in the market. This stems from the fact that Canadian operators, at an auction in April 2019, spent $ 3.5 billion auctioning 5G spectrum for the 600 MHz band, an important frequency that penetrates buildings and performs well in rural areas.
China boasts of having a robust electronics industry due to the growing import and export market around the world. The growing demand for consumer goods such as mobile phones, tablets and other electronic gadgets is on the rise. With this growing market, there is a greater need for higher quality and efficiency for these products, hence the need for OSA to improve device testing and inspection. In addition, the telecommunications sector serves a large customer base in this region. With the advancement and adoption of 4G and the transition to 5G, more investment is needed to ensure proper communication between channels. All this has been possible thanks to the implementation of OSA ™ in the test of telecommunication signals.
