According to estimate from MIC, the market value of global optical communications equipment and components in 2009 will reach $ 50 billion and reach $ 60 billion in 2012 ,this will also bring growth of optical communication devices , optical communication components, and semiconductor industries.
The  worldwide fiber home and business users was almost 4,000 in 2008, more than 20 countries had the penetration rate of more than 1%, of which the Asian economies continue to maintain market leadership, the number of households is more than 3,000 households, with households in North America is more than 4 million, European households is 1,700 million.The industry analyst of MIC,Nanxun Zhu said that broadband infrastructure has become a national lift for economic growth, expanding domestic demand, providing employment opportunities for people.
Watch the future of optical communications technology, the key to access the development, 10G EPON standards was established in November 2009,the relevant industry had launched the 10G EPON chips and equipment, 10G  will come to dominate optical communications market in the next few years,in the terms of light component parts, the flexible optical fiber (Bendable fiber), fiber-optic link (Splicing) has become mature,they will be good to reduce fiber cloth into the field and enhance the efficiency of provisioning.
In addition,communications develops towards FTTH, the world's major cable TV industry accelerates the pace of moving towards the optical fibers, through RFoG or with a variety of PON technology, to upgrade the bandwidth, reduce operating costs and other benefits, but also bring another wave of business opportunities for the optical communications industry .
Looking ahead, MIC said that emerging markets have huge potential of the Internet population and development, major carriers such as India BSNL has embarked on the PON network provisioning.
Because of U.S. $ 7.2 billion revitalization program, the industry is expected to trickle II, accelerating fiber penetration of American cities and rural areas to.The Australian Government will establish network operators through investing $ 31 billion and related telecommunications reform measures,planning to provide the 100Mbps fiber-optic broadband Internet services for 90% of eight people.In addition, BT is planning to invest $ 2.2 billion to cover 40% of provisioning the population FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) fiber-optic network in 2012.
