OADM market to grow from USD101m in 2001 to USD1.03bn in 2006

9 October 2002 -- After dropping from USD135m in 2000 to USD101m in 2001, the global consumption of OADMs will surge to USD1.03bn in 2006, according to ElectroniCast Corp's chairman and founder Jeff D Montgomery in its "Optical Add/ Drop Mutiplexer Systems and Fiber Optic Component" Rapid Reaction Report.

"Fully reconfigurable OADMs held a minor share of the 2001-02 OADM market, but will grow more rapidly than other configurations, reaching a 45% market value share by 2006," Montgomery said.

"Optoelectronics led the consumption value of components in OADMs, with a 43% share of components value in 2000, expanding to 47% or USD312m in 2006. Optical switches also will gain an increasing share of this market," he adds.
