Hybrid Fiber Optic Connectors Market– Statistics And Analysis & Forecast To 2030Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on May 30th, 2023 The global hybrid fiber optic connectors market size is expected to reach USD 1,400.3 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2023 to 2030. The growing demand for a safer, spark-free medium for implementation in hazardous areas such as aircraft fuel cells and other applications that contain volatile gases is driving the need for hybrid fiber optic connectors. These connectors are primarily deployed in extreme environmental conditions and settings as they possess features such as resistance to dirt or dust, chemical, submersion, vibration, and humidity. The demand for high-performance fiber optic connectors is rising in order to assure adequate environmental, mechanical, and optical performance in various industries, such as military & aerospace, oil & gas, safety & security, civil engineering, railways, power & utility, and others. Hybrid fiber optic connectors save installation time, network complexity, and cost, which leads to new possibilities for 4G/5G applications, wireless/cell tower small cell/DAS installations, fixed wireless access, offshore energy, extended distances, and more. For instance, in March 2022, TE Connectivity, a manufacturer of electronic components in Europe, launched an innovative hybrid inline connector that allows ease of manufacturing for OEMs, simplifies supply chain complexity, reduces the number of connections, and reduces cost. Military and aerospace systems operate in hostile environments and inclement weather, which are responsible for the increased demand for robust fiber optic interconnects and extended beam connectors with lower susceptibility. For instance, in March 2022, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., a manufacturer of waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex fabrics, released GORE Fiber Optic Cables with high impact resistance to aggressive chemicals, abrasion, scrapes, and undesirable fluids that aircraft typically experience during maintenance activities and complex installation. Market players are upgrading connectors that provide rugged, dependable, and user-friendly connectivity solutions for various applications to increase productivity. For instance, in February 2023, Fischer Connectors Inc., a manufacturer of electronic connectors in Europe, expanded its Fischer FiberOptic Series with a revolutionary hybrid connector that combines two fiber channels and two electrical contacts in a single small package to offer high-quality fiber optic solutions. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing market, owing to the rapid improvements in manufacturing practices and infrastructure development activities which have contributed to the swift uptake of hybrid fiber optic technology in end-use industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and railway sector in the region.

For instance, in September 2022, Molex LLC, a U.S.-based consumer electronics company, released ELSIS (External Laser Source Interconnect System), a hybrid optical-electrical interconnects and cage system that is a pluggable module solution for co-packaged optics. Hybrid fiber optic connectors can be incorporated into various applications that demand precise and rugged products. Moreover, geophysical, aerospace, tactical, and shipboard applications, among others present taxing environments, and hence there is a rise in the use of hybrid fiber optic connectors. Hybrid Fiber Optic Connectors Market Report Highlights
Expanded beam is a frequently used technology in harsh environments with fiber optic connectivity and offers lesser susceptibility and more ease in cleaning small particles of dirt and dust than physical contact connectors. For instance, in October 2020, DIAMOND SA, a Swiss manufacturer of optical components, announced the launch of an expanded beam (X-Beam) connector which allows reliable and low-maintenance optical connections to be resistant to water, dirt, and extreme weather conditions. Modern hybrid connectors are manufactured to withstand extreme climatic conditions, twists, strong cable pulls and stretches, and water immersion, which is responsible for the growth of the hybrid fiber optic connector market over the forecast period. The technology is in high demand across oil & gas, railways, and military & aerospace applications due to various features, such as aluminum fabrication in consort with custom anodized finishing and stainless steel constructions. These connectors are primarily used in harsh environments because they are resistant to dirt or dust, chemicals, submersion, vibration, and humidity. Moreover, the sustained rise in technological development and integration of modern manufacturing practices is expected to increase demand for the incorporation of hybrid technology.
