Increasing Awareness about the Benefits Offered by Aspheric Lenses over Conventional Lenses to Escalate the Market Growth
The advantages of using aspheric lenses over conventional spherical lenses in optic systems are the key factors driving the market during the forecast period. Aspheric lenses are used to eliminate spherical aberrations in a wide sphere of applications. These lenses are uniquely shaped which allows them to deliver enhanced optical performance against the traditional spherical lenses.
The surging investment in fiber optics is expected to boost the demand for fiber components, including fiber collimating lenses. For instance, broadband providers in North America are expected to invest more than USD 60 billion in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) projects in the coming five years. Sectors such as healthcare, BFSI, and telecommunications are likely to grow in demand for fiber optic collimating lenses.
The advent of 5G networks is anticipated to offer new revenue avenues for players offering fiber-optic collimating lenses. Various players are slow to cash in on market opportunities for 5G networks. AT&T Intellectual Property has rolled out a 400-gigabit network connection between Dallas and Atlanta to cater to the AR, gaming, and other 5G needs of consumers. In another instance, Verizon Communications introduced a long-haul data session by offering 800 Gbps across the long-distance fiber.
The manufacturing processes of aspheric lenses have gone through various developments over the past few years. The manufacturing cost of aspheric lenses is high than that of traditional spherical lenses. In the aspheric lenses case, the lenses are not defined by a single radius curvature.
That is why smack sub-apertures are used with varying radii of curvature at different points along with the surface. It creates a need for different manufacturing techniques to address these sub-apertures in various ways, as the usage of a single large tool is not suitable.
Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) and computer numerical control (CNC), grinding, and polishing are mostly used to offer control over the surface during manufacturing. CNC techniques are expensive since these techniques are developed for metal production applications. That is why, high material and manufacturing costs are impeding the market growth of the aspheric lens market, which is expected to affect the growth of the fiber optics collimating lens market.
The logistics and manufacturing sectors are likely to be benefitted from fiber optics owing to their operations and services, which are dependent on high-speed bandwidth. The sector demands heavy data for purposes such as several products manufactured, and raw materials received, among others.
Fibers offer scalability, therefore, during rapid expansion, the organization can access the near-unlimited bandwidth easily, without incurring additional monthly fees. Besides, reliability, network latency, and long-term costs are other benefits. Fibers are a highly secured network and it is privately owned and operated by the lease owners. Therefore, it is not easy for an external entity to track or record the data and information being transmitted through the fiber.
The usage of traditional internet wires is projected to be a significant challenge to the market. Traditional internet wires are made up of copper, which is a cheap and widely used component for network devices’ connections.
Owing to the high initial cost of deploying fiber optics in regions such as Latin America and Africa, these regions are yet not completely fiber-based and demand aggressive investments to transform the internet ecosystem. However, with the rising advancements in networking infrastructure, the deployment of fiber cables is expected to grow in the coming time.
