A Continuous Distributed fiber optic sensor system involves the optic fiber with the sensors embedded with 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).
Monitoring and data transmission using fiber optic sensors and optical fiber in cabling is now commonplace with Continuous Distributed fiber optic sensors. Some distributed fiber optic sensors use multiple Point sensors, which are networked together with optical fiber, creating a point-to-point (multi-point) distributed line; however, we do not consider it a continuous (non-stop) distributed intrinsic fiber optic sensor line. The very nature of a Point sensor, by our definition, is a stopping point therefore the sensor line is not continuous.
According to ElectroniCast Consultants, the consumption value of fiber optic sensors used in continuous distributed systems is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of nearly 43 percent from $435 million in 2010 to $2.639 billion in 2015.
Note: Market forecast data in this study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.
