Optical Transport Market Grows Seven Percent Year Over Year According to Dell'Oro Group; Optical Revenues in Europe, Middle East and Africa Surge 27 Percent

Posted on: Monday, 22 November 2004, 12:00 CST

A newly published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, reveals that the total optical transport equipment market grew seven percent in the third quarter of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The majority of this growth came from significant revenue increases in EMEA, where service providers continued to invest in network infrastructure to handle higher bandwidth services, including broadband and 3G. The leading vendors in EMEA were Alcatel, Siemens and Marconi with 28 percent, 20 percent, and 15 percent share respectively.

"Alcatel has a dominant market share in the growing EMEA region," said Jimmy Yu, Senior Analyst for Optical Transport Research at Dell'Oro Group. "However, since the optical market remains highly fragmented, with only Alcatel, Lucent, and Nortel holding greater than 10 percent market share worldwide, competition will increase as vendors shift their focus from holding share, to growing share and scale. Since vendors typically hold the smallest share outside their home region, they will likely invest or partner to strengthen their position in those regions." -0- *T Total Optical Transport Market Region Yr./Yr.
