Global ROADM WSS Component Market by Type (Edge ROADMs, PLC-based, WSS, Blocker-based) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Industry Insights

In 2017, the global ROADM WSS market was worth USD 529.8 millions. The market is expected to grow at 12.1% between 2018 and 2025. Due to increasing network bandwidth requirements around the world, the market has seen significant growth in the last few years. The market has seen significant growth due to the unique benefits of ROADM WSS components, such as remote monitoring of network operations and cost-effective network management.

ROADM systems allow for the addition of services without the need to upgrade the network. They enable remote, precise and flexible selections of wavelengths. This ability is expected to be a major growth driver for the market over the forecast period. The overall market will benefit from the development of affordable WSS modules for CDC applications.

The market is expected to grow due to the rising demand for ROADMs and wavelength selective switches (WSS), ROADMs. The market will be further accelerated by technological advances in these components over the forecast period.

Market growth is expected to be boosted by the introduction of an automated edge optical add-drop multiplexer, (OADM), that allows customers to deploy ROADMWSS in metro networks at a low cost. WSS-enabled ROADM also successfully establishes a remote wavelength path, thus avoiding the need for an intermediate node specialist. This allows for a decrease in operational costs which, in turn, can drive the market.

High costs and complexity involved in deployment can hinder growth prospects. In addition, the deployment of ROADM network services to existing networks will require additional manpower, which can lead to higher expenses. This can also hinder the growth of the market.

Type Insights

The market is segmented by type into blocker-based and edge ROADMs as well as planar lightwave circuits (PLC) and wavelength selective switching. The highest expected CAGR for the WSS segment will be seen during the forecast period. The segment's growth is being aided by an increase in network data traffic and a spiraling demand to use high-speed networks.

PLC-based ROADMWSS components offer many features, including ease of use, programming ease, process control capabilities and sequential control. They are also affordable and consume less power. These factors will increase the segment's growth over the forecast period.

Node Insights

The ROADM WSS market component market is divided by node into multi-node or two-node. The growing data traffic generated by various network services around the world is increasing which is expected to drive the demand for multinode ROADM architecture in order to manage and maintain network efficiency.

Advanced multi-node ROADM introduced with new features including directionless and colorless. Directionless allows any transponder connect to any degree node. The colorless feature permits adding/drop ports at all wavelengths. These features minimize problems related to wavelength connections, increase switching flexibility, and reduce hardware and operation cost. This will likely drive the demand for multi-node segments to meet the growing network traffic problem.

Application Insights

Over the forecast period, the long haul segment will see a higher CAGR. The segment's growth has been supported by the rapid adoption of ROADM WSS parts in the long haul to address increasing network traffic caused by an increase in demand for packet services around the world. The overall market is also supported by the advancement of an optical layer based ROADM architecture that allows for a large number ROADM ports as well as scalability of colorless, directionless and contentionless (CDC), add/drop, and colorless (CD).

Advanced architecture allows for the control of channel power levels using WSS. This improves performance in long-haul applications. Advanced ROADM architecture also supports high baud rates, which reduces cost per bit and increases spectral efficiency. The segment is expected to grow further.

End-use Insights

Due to rising investments by major players in communication technology, as well as increasing affordability of communication services and growing demand for high speed internet, the communication sector will be the largest end-user in this market. The growth of the communication sector has been aided by the increasing dependence of consumers on telecommunication services products and services in their daily lives, particularly the need for continuous, uninterrupted internet connectivity.

The segment is expected to grow due to increased government funding for network infrastructure upgrades and increasing awareness about the benefits of fiber optic networks. Prominent market players are expected to increase their investments in research and develop advanced fiber optics technologies. This will boost the segment's growth over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America was the dominant market, with a value of USD 159.7 millions in 2017. The high adoption of ROADM architecture within the communications sector can explain this growth. A surge in network data traffic and widespread global penetration of internet connectivity has also prompted a demand for high-speed communications networks.

Over the forecast period, Asia Pacific is expected to experience significant growth. The popularity of cloud services and social networks is expected to drive demand for ROADM WSS components that are cost-effective and flexible to ensure network access.
