About the Fiber Optics Industry: Fiber optics is the future of communications and fiber optic connectors are one of the major profit centres within this market. The signal transmission business is in the early stages of a fiber optics bull market. All signal transmission, in their many and various forms, are being converted from electrical, using copper wire and coaxial cable, to fiber optics. In the USA the Obama administration has recently pledged an initial US$7.2-billion to a plan that calls for 100 million Americans to have access to super high speed internet. This high speed internet will require significant fiber optic infrastructure. The annual global market for fiber optic connectors is estimated to be about US$2 billion and this market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9.6%. A report from market research firm IBISWorld forecasts cable installation revenues to increase at an average of 5.0% per year to $5.5 billion in the four years to 2016. Mobile backhaul and broadband applications will drive this growth.
