Optical microcontrollers are used to maintain the integrity of the high-speed fiber-optic links, optimize power consumption, and regulate active cooling techniques. These applications of optical microcontrollers are projected to increase their sales in the coming years.
Growing penetration of cyberspace is propelling demand for high-speed data communication between the external hosts, thereby surging the use of optical microcontrollers.
Additionally, need for optical microcontrollers, digital to analog converters (DACs), analog to digital converters (ADCs), and fast comparators is increasing for optimization of power dissipation. This is likely to create lucrative opportunities for the market.
Growth in the telecom industry has led to an increased demand for high-speed and long-distance signaling and development of fiber-optic transceivers and links. This is expected to surge the application of optical microcontrollers to enable ultra-low power dissipation in electronic devices.
Also, growing use of high-speed internet in residential, industrial, and commercial sectors is projected to increase the demand for gigabit passive optical network (GPON). This is projected to encourage manufacturers to enhance their productivity.
In addition to this, growing demand for better accessibility of single optical network in case of the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled products to multiple users is projected to widen the application of optical microcontrollers.
Besides this, optical microcontrollers are extensively used to control anti-lock braking systems, fuel injection systems, traction control, or suspension control in automobiles. This is another factor forecast to spur sales in the market.
Further, rising requirement for control over key parameters to tune fiber optic modules to enhance their performance is expected to augment the sales of optical microcontrollers.
High installation costs and operational expenses of the fiber optic equipment and optical microcontrollers are estimated to hinder the growth in the market. Also, operational failures during extreme climatic conditions will restrain the sales in the market.
Furthermore, non-multitasking and non-reprogrammable nature of optical microcontrollers is a key disadvantage estimated to hamper the demand in the market.
North America is expected to hold a maximum share in the optical microcontrollers market during the forecast period. Growth is attributed to the rising penetration of 5G technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the U.S. and Canada.
Also, increasing adoption of fiber-city projects is pushing the demand for eco-friendly network solutions. This is anticipated to drive the growth in the optical microcontrollers market.
Subsequently, rapid digitization and acceptance of portable electronic systems such as smartphones, personal computers (PCs), tablets, and others is increasing. Hence, fueling the need for high-speed connectivity, which, in turn, will bolster growth in the market.
As per FMI, growing adoption of smart city projects in India is likely to propel the demand for fiber-optic networks, boosting the market. In addition to this, increased government funding for the development of fiber optic communication equipment in rural areas will drive the market in the forthcoming years.
Furthermore, surging sales of IoT-enabled products such as smart appliances, phones, and other connected devices will boost the application of optical microcontrollers. This, in turn, will assist the growth in optical microcontrollers market over the forecast period.
Key players profiled in the global optical microcontrollers market include Maxim Integrated, Texas Instruments, and Microchip Technology, among others.
Key manufacturers are concentrating on improving their production capabilities and product lines to cater to the growing demand for optimized network. Some of the players are also adopting inorganic market strategies such as mergers, collaborations, and partnerships to strengthen their global presence.
