수동 광 네트워크 시장 규모는 2030년까지 311억 달러에 달할 것으로 예측되며, 예측 기간 중 CAGR은 13.4%의 시장 성장률로 상승합니다.
KBV Cardinal matrix에 게재된 분석에 따르면 Cisco Systems가 이 시장의 선구자입니다. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, Nokia Corporation, Ericsson AB 등의 기업은 시장의 주요 이노베이터입니다. 2022년 12월, Nokia Corporation은 GCC 지역 최대 통신 프로바이더인 Etisalat UAE와 'Etisalat by e&'라는 브랜드명으로 제휴했습니다. 이 제휴에 의해 중동 및 아프리카에서 최고의 PON(Passive Optical Network) 속도가 실현되었습니다.
시장 성장 요인
고속 인터넷 및 데이터 서비스에 대한 세계의 수요 증가
고속 인터넷은 오늘날 디지털 사회의 기본 요건이며, 그 중요성은 점점 더 커지고 있습니다. 더 빠르고 안정적인 연결을 원하는 사용자와 기업이 늘어남에 따라 PON 기술에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있습니다. 이는 시장 성장의 원동력이 되어 투자, 혁신, 시장내 경쟁을 촉진합니다. 서비스 프로바이더와 네트워크 사업자들은 고객 증가하는 대역폭 수요를 충족시키기 위해 PON 기술 도입에 열을 올리고 있습니다. 그들이 PON을 선택한 이유는 고속 인터넷 액세스를 위한 확장성과 비용 효율적인 솔루션을 제공할 수 있기 때문입니다. 이러한 채택 증가는 시장의 저변을 확대할 것입니다.
PON 도입에 대한 정부 정책 및 인센티브 증가
광섬유 및 PON 구축에 대한 정부의 장려책과 자금 지원은 공공 투자 및 민간 투자 확대를 촉진합니다. 이러한 투자 증가는 더 광범위한 네트워크 인프라로 이어져 시장에 이익을 가져다 줄 것입니다. 정부 구상은 종종 서비스 소외 지역과 외딴 지역에 초점을 맞추었습니다. 이러한 지역에서는 비용이 많이 들기 때문에 비상장 기업은 투자를 꺼릴 수 있습니다. 또한 디지털 격차 해소 정책은 모든 국민이 초고속 인터넷에 접속할 수 있도록 하는 것이 최우선 과제입니다. 따라서 PON 네트워크가 농촌이나 서비스 소외 지역에 구축되어 더 많은 사람들이 PON 기술의 혜택을 누릴 수 있게 될 것입니다. 그 결과 더 많은 고객이 PON 서비스를 이용할 수 있게 되어 사용자 기반이 확대될 것입니다. 이러한 요인으로 인해 시장은 앞으로 급성장할 것입니다.
시장 성장 억제요인
PON 인프라 도입의 높은 초기 비용
신규로 진입하는 소규모 서비스 프로바이더에게 PON 인프라를 구축하는 데 필요한 막대한 비용이 큰 진입장벽이 될 수 있습니다. 이는 시장 경쟁을 제한하고 소비자의 선택권을 줄이며 PON 서비스 가격 상승으로 이어질 수 있습니다. 도입 비용은 시장을 분열시켜 자금력이 있는 소수의 대형 서비스 프로바이더만이 PON 기술에 투자할 수 있도록 할 수 있습니다. 또한 높은 초기 비용에 직면한 서비스 프로바이더는 투자 대비 효과가 확실하지 않은 미 서비스 지역이나 지방으로 PON 네트워크를 확장하는 것을 주저할 수 있습니다. 이로 인해 디지털 격차를 해소하고 더 많은 사람들이 PON 서비스를 이용할 수 있도록 하는 노력이 지연될 수 있습니다. 결과적으로 이러한 요인들은 향후 수년간 패시브 광 네트워크 수요를 저해할 것으로 예상됩니다.
용도 전망
용도에 따라 시장은 FTTX와 모바일 백홀로 나뉘며, 2022년에는 모바일 백홀 세분화가 시장에서 큰 매출 점유율을 차지했으며, PON 기술은 포인트-투-포인트 마이크로파 및 구리 기반 솔루션과 같은 전통적인 대체 수단과 비교하여 비용이 저렴합니다. 비용 효율성이 높습니다. 이러한 비용 효율성은 모바일 백홀의 채택에 큰 원동력이 되고 있으며, PON 네트워크는 높은 수준의 신뢰성과 중복성을 제공하여 모바일 백홀 분야에서 지속적인 연결성을 유지하는 데 필수적입니다. 이러한 요인으로 인해 향후 수년간 모바일 백홀 분야 수요가 증가할 것으로 예상됩니다.
컴포넌트 전망
컴포넌트 기준으로 시장은 광 회선 단말기(OLT), 광 네트워크 단말기, 광 분배 네트워크(ODN)로 구분되며, 2022년에는 광 분배 네트워크(ODN) 부문이 시장에서 가장 큰 매출 점유율을 차지할 것으로 예상됩니다. 많은 국가와 지역이 고속 연결에 대한 수요 증가에 대응하기 위해 광섬유 인프라를 중심으로 광대역 네트워크 확장에 투자하고 있습니다. 이러한 확장은 ODN 컴포넌트 및 서비스에 대한 수요를 주도하고 있습니다. 또한 5G의 보급이 계속 확대되면서 5G의 대용량 및 저지연 요구 사항을 지원하는 광섬유 ODN에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있습니다. 이러한 측면은 이 부문에 유리한 성장 전망을 가져다 줄 것으로 보입니다.
유형별 전망
유형별로 시장은 EPON, GPON 및 기타로 분류되며, 2022년에는 GPON 부문이 시장에서 큰 매출 점유율을 차지할 것으로 예상됩니다. 고속 인터넷 액세스에 대한 수요는 GPON 기술의 주요 추진 요인입니다. 더 많은 사람과 기업이 더 빠르고 안정적인 인터넷 연결을 필요로함에 따라 서비스 제공 업체는 기가비트 속도의 광대역 서비스를 제공하는 비용 효율적인 솔루션으로 GPON에 주목했습니다. 통신 서비스 업체들은 고속 광대역 서비스를 제공하기 위해 GPON 기술을 사용하여 네트워크를 확장하고 있습니다. 이러한 확장의 배경에는 인터넷 사용자 증가와 데이터량이 많은 용도을 지원하기 위한 대역폭 확장에 대한 요구가 있습니다. 이러한 요인으로 인해 이 부문 수요는 증가할 것으로 예상됩니다.
지역별 전망
지역별로 보면 시장은 북미, 유럽, 아시아태평양, LAMEA로 구분되며, 2022년에는 아시아태평양 부문이 시장에서 가장 높은 매출 점유율을 차지할 것으로 예상됩니다. 아시아태평양은 특히 중국과 인도와 같은 국가에서 인구가 급증하면서 빠르게 성장하고 있습니다. 이러한 인구 추세는 더 많은 사람들을 연결하기 위한 통신 인프라 구축의 필요성을 높이고 있습니다. 아시아의 많은 지역에서 도시화가 진행되면서 도시와 교외 지역에서는 초고속 인터넷 서비스에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있습니다. 따라서 이 분야는 향후 수년간 급성장할 것으로 예상됩니다.
