BOSTON, Massachusetts, April 26, 2010—Market research firm Infonetics Research (http://twitter.com/infonetics) released the 2010 edition of its Optical Network Hardware in Asia Pacific report.
ANALYST NOTE
"Chinese service providers purchase nearly half of all optical equipment in Asia, and Huawei ships nearly half of all equipment sold in the region. Unlike some of their other businesses, Huawei's optical business is heavily leveraged in their domestic market," notes Andrew Schmitt, Infonetics Research’s directing analyst for optical.
ASIA PACIFIC OPTICAL NETWORK HARDWARE MARKET HIGHLIGHTS
- Despite the economic recession, optical network hardware revenue grew 5% in Asia Pacific in 2009, led by China, compared with 24% and 21% declines in EMEA and a North America, respectively
- However, slowing quarterly growth dipped into negative territory in the fourth quarter of 2009
- Two primary factors signal a slowdown in the Asia Pacific optical network hardware market:
- Chinese carriers are reporting that their 2010 spending will be constrained
- The loose lending practices that have prevailed in Asia Pacific in recent years is likely coming to an end
- India will gain share of the optical network hardware market through 2014, while China, Japan and Korea will lose proportionate share
