Fiber Optic Sensors: Global Markets

This research study analyzes the status of global markets for fiber optic sensors. Fiber optic sensors (FOS) began as a byproduct of telecommunications. The first sensors were designed to measure the performance and status of optical fiber networks. Optical networks transmit voice and data across the U.S. and around the world. The networks require constant monitoring to ensure signal transmission along the fibers in the network. The global market for fiber optic sensors reached $1.7 billion in 2012 and about $1.8 billion in 2013. This market is projected to increase to $2.2 billion by 2018, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% for the period of 2013 to 2018.
