Hybrid Fiber Optic Connectors Market Expected To Fuel Industry Growth With $1,400.3 Million By 2030: Grand View Research Inc.
The global hybrid
fiber optic connectors market size is expected to reach USD 1,400.3 million by 2030, according
to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to
expand at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2023 to
2030. The growing demand for a safer, spark-free medium for implementation
in hazardous areas such as aircraft fuel cells and other applications that
contain volatile gases is driving the need for hybrid fiber optic connectors.
These connectors are primarily
deployed in extreme environmental conditions and settings as they possess
features such as resistance to dirt or dust, chemical, submersion, vibration,
and humidity. The demand for high-performance fiber optic connectors is rising
in order to assure adequate environmental, mechanical, and optical performance
in various industries, such as military & aerospace, oil & gas, safety
& security, civil engineering, railways, power & utility, and others.
Hybrid fiber optic connectors save
installation time, network complexity, and cost, which leads to new possibilities
for 4G/5G applications, wireless/cell tower small cell/DAS installations, fixed
wireless access, offshore energy, extended distances, and more. For instance,
in March 2022, TE Connectivity, a manufacturer of electronic components in
Europe, launched an innovative hybrid inline connector that allows ease of
manufacturing for OEMs, simplifies supply chain complexity, reduces the number
of connections, and reduces cost.
Military and aerospace systems operate
in hostile environments and inclement weather, which are responsible for the
increased demand for robust fiber optic interconnects and extended beam
connectors with lower susceptibility. For instance, in March 2022, W. L. Gore
& Associates, Inc., a manufacturer of waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex fabrics,
released GORE Fiber Optic Cables with high impact resistance to aggressive
chemicals, abrasion, scrapes, and undesirable fluids that aircraft typically
experience during maintenance activities and complex installation.
Market players are upgrading connectors
that provide rugged, dependable, and user-friendly connectivity solutions for
various applications to increase productivity. For instance, in February 2023,
Fischer Connectors Inc., a manufacturer of electronic connectors in Europe,
expanded its Fischer FiberOptic Series with a revolutionary hybrid connector
that combines two fiber channels and two electrical contacts in a single small
package to offer high-quality fiber optic solutions.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to
be the fastest-growing market, owing to the rapid improvements in manufacturing
practices and infrastructure development activities which have contributed to
the swift uptake of hybrid fiber optic technology in end-use industries such as
automotive, manufacturing, and railway sector in the region.

The
need for enhanced optical performance and additional attributes, including
operating conditions, mechanical and environmental constraints, reliability
requirements, and maintenance plans, are expected to propel the market demand
over the next few years. For instance, in September 2022, Molex LLC, a
U.S.-based consumer electronics company, released ELSIS (External Laser Source
Interconnect System), a hybrid optical-electrical interconnects and cage system
that is a pluggable module solution for co-packaged optics. Hybrid fiber optic
connectors can be incorporated into various applications that demand precise
and rugged products. Moreover, geophysical, aerospace, tactical, and shipboard
applications, among others present taxing environments, and hence there is a
rise in the use of hybrid fiber optic connectors.

accounted for a revenue share of over 34.3% in 2022, owing to the
availability of high government funding, the presence of leading players
in the region, and a strong technical adoption base
Expanded beam is a frequently used
technology in harsh environments with fiber optic connectivity and offers
lesser susceptibility and more ease in cleaning small particles of dirt and
dust than physical contact connectors. For instance, in October 2020, DIAMOND
SA, a Swiss manufacturer of optical components, announced the launch of an
expanded beam (X-Beam) connector which allows reliable and low-maintenance
optical connections to be resistant to water, dirt, and extreme weather
conditions.
Modern hybrid connectors are
manufactured to withstand extreme climatic conditions, twists, strong cable
pulls and stretches, and water immersion, which is responsible for the growth
of the hybrid fiber optic connector market over the forecast period. The
technology is in high demand across oil & gas, railways, and military
& aerospace applications due to various features, such as aluminum fabrication
in consort with custom anodized finishing and stainless steel constructions.
These connectors are primarily used in harsh environments because they are
resistant to dirt or dust, chemicals, submersion, vibration, and humidity.
Moreover, the sustained rise in technological development and integration of
modern manufacturing practices is expected to increase demand for the
incorporation of hybrid technology.
