Aptos, CA (USA) – November 3, 2015  -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market & technology forecast consultancy addressing the fiber optics communications industry, today announced the release of their extensive study of the use of selected fiber optic cleavers and strippers for the purpose of optical fiber preparation processing.

According to ElectroniCast, the global use of fiber optic cleavers and strippers is forecast to increase from a projected $36.21 million in 2015 to $40.04 million in 2020.  Market forecast data in this study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.

“There are over 40-companies involved in producing fiber optic cleavers or strippers.  Most of the leading competitors also produce splice-on connectors, fusion splice machine and connectors/mechanical splices,” said Stephen Montgomery, Director of the fiber optics group at ElectroniCast.

The instrument/machine categories are segment further by the weight of the device.  The average selling price differences between instrument/machines (stripper, cleaver, and combination), and tools (shears, strippers, scissors and "pen" scribes) is substantial.   The 2015-2020 market forecast of the consumption of selected fiber optic cleavers and strippers, segment by several different devices, with a weight of less than 8kg (17.6 pounds) as well as selected hand tools.

According to ElectroniCast, in terms of volume (quantity), the America region is projected to employ over 70-thousand new fiber optic cleaver and stripper units in 2015.  The Asia Pacific region is forecast to maintain the leadership role in relative market share in both quantity and value.  China, Korea and Japan are leading consumers for the selected fiber optic cleaver and stripper units in the region; however, India is acknowledged as a rapid adopter of optical fiber communication technologies.

Due to the deployment Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), as well as other optical fiber use in Europe, there is relatively substantial use of fiber optic preparation and termination devices in the region.
