Fiber optic sensor technology has experienced impressive growth since ElectroniCast first started providing market and technology analysis of the subject since the early 1980s. In fact their analysts were tracking the various advanced photonic technologies, since 1976.
This is the ElectroniCast forecast of global market consumption of Fiber Optic Sensors. The 2011-2016 quantitative market forecast data presented in this study report are segmented into the following geographic regions, plus a Global summary:
· The Americas (North America, Central and South America)
· EMEA (Europe, Middle Eastern countries, plus Africa)
· APAC (Asia Pacific)
The market forecast data is presented and segmented in two main sections:
· Fiber Optic Point Sensors: Component-Level
· Distributed Continuous Fiber Optic Sensor Systems
Fiber Optic Point Sensors The ElectroniCast market forecast of the Fiber Optic Point Sensors is segmented by the following end-user applications:
· Manufacturing Process/Factory
· Civil Engineering/Construction (buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc)
· Military/Aerospace/Security
· Test & Measurement used in Telecommunication, CATV, Private/Enterprise
· Biomedical/Science
· Petrochemical/Energy/Utilities/Natural Resources
· Automotive/Vehicle
Sensing/Measuring (Measurand) The ElectroniCast Fiber Optic Point Sensor Forecast further segmented by the following sensing/measuring quantity (measurand) types:
· Mechanical Strain
· Temperature
· Pressure
· Chemical, Gas, Liquid
· Vibration, Acoustic, Seismic
· Displacement, Acceleration, Proximity
· Electric and Magnetic Field - Fiber Optic Sensors
· Rotation (such as Fiber Optic Gyroscopes: FOGs)
Distributed Continuous Sensors The market forecast of the Distributed Continuous Sensors is further segmented by application and by technology, as follows:
· Manufacturing Process/Factory
o Interferometric
o Raman back-scattering
o Brillouin waves
· Civil Engineering/Construction (buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc)
o Interferometric
o Raman back-scattering
o Brillouin waves
· Military/Aerospace/Security
o Interferometric
o Raman back-scattering
o Brillouin waves
· Petrochemical/Energy/Utilities/Natural Resources
o Interferometric
o Raman back-scattering
o Brillouin waves
· Biomedical/Science
o Interferometric
o Raman back-scattering
o Brillouin waves
ElectroniCast counts each Point fiber optic sensors as one unit; however, the volume/quantity (number of units) of Distributed Continuous fiber optic sensors is based on a complete optical fiber line/link, which we classify as a “system”.
A Distributed Continuous fiber optic sensor system involves the optic fiber with the sensors embedded within the fiber, plus electronics, connectors, data acquisition module, software, and miscellaneous components; however, ElectroniCast quantifies the optical fiber, cable (fiber jacket) and the sensor elements in this forecast data (only).
It is important to note that POINT sensors are often used in Distributed fiber optic sensor systems (installed at multiple-points/ point-to-point); however, we count their use in the Point fiber optic sensor category and not in the continuous (non-stop) distributed sensor category.
Fiber Optic Sensors: Global Market Forecast Depending on the application, fiber may be used because of its small size, or because no electrical power is needed at the remote location, or because many sensors can be multiplexed along the length of a fiber by using different wavelengths of light for each sensor, or by sensing the time delay as light passes along the fiber through each sensor.
The consumption value of fiber optic sensors is shown in Figure 1. During the 2011-2016 timeline, we forecast that the consumption (use) value will grow at an impressive average annual rate of 20.5% from $1.34 billion to $3.39 billion. Market forecast data in this study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.
The 2011-2016 quantitative market forecast data presented in this study report are segmented into the following geographic regions, plus a Global summary:
· The Americas (North America, Central and South America)

Competition Also included in this market forecast and analysis report from ElectroniCast is an extensive list of fiber optic sensor manufacturers and related companies, along with a matrix table classifying the types of sensors technologies. Market share estimates for the leading competitors are also provided.
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Sensing Monitoring and data transmission using fiber optic sensors and optical fiber in cabling is now commonplace in various applications, via intrinsic fiber optic sensors or extrinsic fiber optic sensors. With an intrinsic sensor, one or more of the sensing/measuring quantity or physical properties (measurand) of the optical fiber passes through or inside the optical fiber and therefore experiences a change. Extrinsic sensing takes place in a region outside of the optical fiber and the optical fiber acts as a transmission media of light to and from (linking) the sensing interface.
The worldwide consumption value for fiber optic intrinsic sensors is forecast to increase at an average annual growth rate of nearly 20.7% during the 2011-2016 timeframe covered in this market forecast study by ElectroniCast; the use of fiber optic interface extrinsic sensors is forecast to increase at 18.15% per year.
