Information Base for the Market Forecasts
Primary Research The market forecasts studies are based on analysis of information obtained continually since 1985, but updated to the study release date. ElectroniCast analysts performed interviews with authoritative and representative individuals in the communication industries, from the standpoint of both suppliers and users of fiber optic transmission links. The interviews were conducted principally with:
Engineers, marketing personnel and management at manufacturers of cable, circulators, collimators, specialty fiber, fusion splice, test equipment, connectors/splices, isolators, couplers, DWDM filter modules, dispersion compensators, photonic switches, attenuators, photonic ICs, modulators, transmitters/receivers, optical amplifiers, OADMs and other related optical communication components.
Engineers, marketing, purchasing personnel and market planners at major users of passive and active optical components, such as telecommunication transmission, switching, distribution and apparatus equipment, regional and long-haul telephone companies, alternative local carriers, Internet service providers, data com equipment companies, cable TV system suppliers, military/ aerospace OEMs, utilities and a number of other end users of fiber optic communication components and technology.
The interviews cover issues of technology, R&D support, pricing, contract size, reliability, documentation, installation/maintenance crafts, standards, supplier competition and other topics. Customers and distributors also are interviewed, to obtain their estimates of quantities received and average prices paid. Customer estimates of historical and expected near term future growth of their application are obtained. Their views of use of new technology products are obtained.
Analysis The analyst then considers customer expectations of near term growth in their application, plus forecasted economic payback of investment, technology trends and changes in government regulations, to derive estimated growth rates of quantity and price of each product subset in each application. These forecasted growth rates are combined with the estimated baseline data to obtain the long-range forecasts at the lowest detailed level of each product and application.
Secondary Research A full review of published information is performed to supplement information obtained through interviews. The following sources are reviewed:
Professional technical journals and papers
- Trade press articles; Technical conference proceedings
- Product literature; Company profile and financial information
- Additional information based on previous ElectroniCast studies
-Personal knowledge of the research team
- It is essential that the market research team have a good and a deep understanding of the technology and of the industry. ElectroniCast members who participated in this report were qualified.
Bottom-up Methodology ElectroniCast forecasts are developed initially at the lowest detail level and then summed to successively higher levels. The background market research focuses on the amount of each type of product for the particular studied product and used in each application in the previous calendar year, as well as the prices paid at the first transaction from the manufacturer. This forms the base year data. ElectroniCast analysts then forecast the growth rates in component quantity use in each application, along with price trends, based on competitive, economic and technology forecast trends, and apply these to derive long term forecasts at the lowest application levels. The usage growth rate forecasts depend heavily on analysis of overall end user trends toward equipment usage and economic payback.
Cross-Correlation Increases Accuracy The quantities of fiber optic collimators, transmitters/receivers, modulators, isolators, circulators, couplers, DWDM filters, attenuators, optical amplifiers and other optical communication components used in a particular application are interrelated. Since ElectroniCast conducts annual analysis and forecast updates various component and devices in the field, accurate current quantity estimates are part of the ElectroniCast Consultants' database. These quantities are cross-correlated as a "sanity check".
