Fiber Optic Cables for Military And Aerospace Market Scenario


Fiber Optic Cables for Military and Aerospace Market Size Valued at USD 1.12 Billion, market Grow at a CAGR Of 5.44% by 2020 -2030


Fiber optic cable is made from strands of glass fibers that are capable of transmitting data modulated in the form of light waves with a diameter (single thread) slightly bigger than that of hair. It is a technology that uses glasses to transfer data at high speed, without any data loss, offers immunity to electromagnetic interference, can be used in long-distance applications, and has a high bandwidth. However, these glass fibers are prone to damage. The aerospace and military industries are adopting fiber optics rather than metal ones, as fiber optic cables can be used in harsh environments. In aircraft, the metal wires need to be placed carefully due to vulnerability to lightning, which is not the case with optic fiber cables.


Market Synopsis


Global Market for Fiber Optic Cables for the military and aerospace market is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period owing to factors such as the increasing number of aircraft deliveries and increasing demand for throughput and reliability. Furthermore, the growing focus of authorities on replacing existing cables for better military and aerospace applications is also expected to drive the growth of the market. Additionally, enhanced products offered by companies such as Carlisle Interconnect Technologies is also expected to drive the growth of the market. For instance, Carlisle Interconnect Technologies’ LITEflight fiber optic cable is specifically designed to provide maximum performance and durability in the demanding conditions found in aerospace, military, industrial, and other harsh environments.


However, the complex maintenance and installation of fiber optic cables and issues related to physical damage and transmission loss might hamper the growth of the market.
