Film and Video Professional Production LED Lighting Global Market Forecast & Analysis 2021-2031

April (2022) -
According to a new market forecast report from ElectroniCast, the global consumption of LED professional lighting lamps/fixtures reached $331 million in 2021. During the forecast period, the value of the LED fixtures with lamps is expected to increase to $550 million in the year 2031. Market forecast data in the study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.

The worldwide value of LED-based production lighting in the Television/Broadcast segment reached $206 million in 2021, compared to nearly $89 million in the Motion Picture (film) category and the remainder in the Videography industry segment. The TV/Broadcast industry sector is continuously challenged with expenditure reduction, due mainly to the decline in advertisement revenue; however, paid subscription-based TV, supplements the television sector in terms of upgrades in lighting.
 
High-performance TV/Broadcast cameras require professional-grade lighting to achieve the highest expectations for Slow Motion and High Definition (HD) TV standard-based production; therefore, along with the goal of energy efficiency, LED-based lighting is proving to be the next-generation winning technology choice for use in sports arenas and stadiums.

TV/Broadcast stations worldwide continue to retrofit their studios with LED-based production lights, to improve the picture quality with the new HDTV-based requirements. Also, other benefits of LED lighting versus the incumbent lighting are the consumption of less electrical power, since LEDs use less energy, and also less air conditioning is required since the heat generated by LED lights is negligible.

LED production lights in the motion picture/film category are driven by requirements for lighting effects and set lighting, mainly because of their flexibility. A single light source can generate a great variety of colors. Additionally, continuous cost/performance improvements driven by technological advancements are driving the LED lighting fixture market from a niche-only solution to a general use solution.

Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Market Forecast (Published February 25, 2022)

 Global use of handheld OTDRs and associated devices reach $480.2 million in 2021… 

 

February 25, 2022 -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market and technology research consultancy addressing the fiber optics communications industry, today announced the release of their annual market forecast of hand-held OTDR fiber optic test devices. The new report provides a 10-year forecast of the worldwide market for handheld OTDRs and multiple-test units (platforms) using OTDR modules, as well as supplementary/secondary (add-on) OTDR-based modules.

 An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a fiber optic test instrument used as a troubleshooting device to find faults in the optical fiber link.

 According to ElectroniCast Consultants, the estimated global consumption value of handheld OTDR devices (dedicated-handheld or modular solutions) and “add-on” (supplementary) OTDR modules in 2021 was $480.22 million.  The consumption value is forecast to increase 4.45 percent annually, during the 1st-half of the forecast period to reach $597.04 million in 2026; and increase further to $680.7 million in the year 2031, with rising quantity growth partially offset by a decline of average selling prices.  All values and prices in this report are at end-user levels and are in current dollars, which include the effect of a forecasted 5 percent annual inflation rate over the forecast period.    

The Asia Pacific region (APAC) held the leadership position in relative market share of worldwide consumption value, last year.  Europe, in 2021, represented a 22.8 percent relative market share of the worldwide consumption value.  Europe's consumption value is forecast to increase at a relatively constant pace throughout the forecast period. The North American region (U.S.A., Mexico, and Canada) had an estimated consumption value of $157.9 million in 2021.

The Rest of the World region (including Central/South America, Africa, and the Middle East) is forecast for an increase (value) movement during the 1st-half (2021-2026), at 11.05% per year, and then increases during the 2nd half at a forecasted nearly 6% annually during the 2nd-half (2026-2031). Note: Market forecast data in this study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.

Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) Splitters for Optical Fiber Communications Global Market Forecast (February, 2022)

 ElectroniCast, a leading market, and technology consultancy, today announced the report release of their 10-year market forecast of the global consumption of Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) splitters used in optical fiber communication networks.

The PLC splitter market forecast data is segmented by: Component devices (compact devices); and Modules (splitter cassette modules).

PLC Splitter Component Devices - According to the study, the worldwide consumption value of component-level compact PLC splitters reached an estimated $142.4 million in 2021, up from $131.9 million in 2020. The value of component-level compact PLC splitters is forecast to increase to $170.3 million in the year 2026, and eventually increase to $175.6 million in 2031. (All values and prices in this report are at factory as-shipped levels, and are in current dollars, which include the effect of a forecasted 5 percent annual inflation rate over the forecast period).     

The Asia Pacific region is forecast to continue to dominate the market share.  Europe, the Middle East, the Africa region (EMEA), and the American region (South, Central, and North America) held a similar percentage in market share in 2021.  The global increase in PLC splitters is driven by their use in FTTx Passive Optical Networks (PONs), especially the use of the 1x4 split ratio (port count) configuration devices.

The global use in the Telco/CATV (Service Provider) application category, is forecast for a relatively low growth pattern during the next decade; mainly because much of the “greenfield” (new-built) Telco/CATV projects are winding-down in mature countries.  PLC splitters used in service provider network applications led to global consumption in relative market share in 2021. 

Component-level PLC splitters used with test/measurement, R&D, and other non-specific use (specialty applications) are forecast to remain relatively minor through the year 2031. Private Enterprise/Local Area Networks (LANs) and the majority of Harsh Environment optical communication usage, tends to favor multimode optical fiber (and lower port-count) and therefore most of the coupler/splitter function is dealt with by the usage of Fused Biconical Taper (FBT) component; however, as overall optical fiber use and link distances expand in Private Enterprise, including Enterprise Hyperscale Data Centers (HDCs), and Harsh Environments, also use of single-mode fiber (and PLC splitters). It is important to note, however, that PLC splitter (and module) packaging for the harsh environment application (military, industrial, and other related) demands a cost/price premium versus standard packaging.

Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor System Links (Lines)

 

In this ElectroniCast study, the Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor function in systems is counted by individual channel link (or line), which include several components (optoelectronic transmitter/receiver, connectors, optical fiber, cable (fiber jacket), other passive components, and immediate enclosures; the quasi-continuous system also includes the FBG sensor elements, which are embedded into the sensing fiber (software is not included). Types of Distributed Fiber Optic System Channel Lines:

 

Continuous Distributed sensing (optical fiber line used in a system) provides continuous, real-time measurements along the entire length of a fiber optic cable; continuous distributed sensing does not rely upon manufactured sensors but utilizes the optical fiber.

 

Quasi-Continuous Distributed sensing (optical fiber line used in a system) utilizes Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs), which have been employed as sensing elements where dense (closely-spaced) sensing points are required, and the FBGs are multiplexed with various methods. 

 

Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor Systems typically have several channel links (fiber lines).

 

The values shown in this ElectroniCast study report are obtained by multiplying an (one) individual completed channel, which includes one fiber optic line (or link) and associated components for that one line (optoelectronic transmitter/receiver, connectors, optical fiber, cable (fiber jacket), other passive components, and immediate enclosures; and with Grading-Based systems, sensing elements (FBGs) are included in the list of components for each individual channel. 

 

Therefore, the quantities (volume) and average selling prices are represented for the one system channel link (also known as a line or string). Not all systems are filled to channel capacity; therefore, customers add more channel lines or replace old lines with new lines as required over months or over years (“grow as you go”).
