Optical fibers composed of plastic, usually polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), are known as Plastic Optical Fibers (POF). Mostly in applications like home networks, automobile systems, telecommunications, and industrial data connections, it is utilized to send light signals over small distances. The Plastic Optical Fiber - POF market is being driven by the favorable properties, technological advancements, growing product launch, increasing demand for high-speed data transmission, growth in automotive applications and others.
In general, POF is less expensive to produce and install than conventional glass optical fibers. This makes it a desirable choice in applications like home networks and automobile networking where cost is a key factor. POF is also easier to handle and more flexible than glass optical fibers, which makes it easier to install in a variety of settings, including confined places and areas with bends and twists. Thus, the favorable properties of plastic fiber is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
With the increasing complexity of automotive electronics and the demand for high-speed communication networks within vehicles, POF is gaining traction as a reliable and cost-effective solution for in-vehicle networking. For instance, according to the report published by IEA, digital services are becoming more and more in demand. global internet traffic has increased 25 times since 2010, while the number of users has more than doubled. However, the rapid advancements in energy efficiency have served to restrain the rise in energy consumption from data centers and data transmission networks, which together consume 1% to 1.5% of the world's electricity.
When compared to glass optical fibers, POF usually has a lesser bandwidth. This constraint limits its use in applications like data centers and backbone networks that need high-speed data transfer over vast distances. Furthermore, especially at longer distances, POF shows more signal attenuation than glass optical fibers. This makes it less suitable for uses where long-distance transmission is necessary.
The need for broadband access has increased as more individuals work from home and depend on entertainment and communication services remotely amid lockdowns and social distancing measures. POF may have seen a rise in usage in this situation due to its simplicity of installation and suitability for home networking applications. In order to improve the driving experience, the automobile industry has also continued to place a high priority on connectivity technologies like infotainment systems and in-car networking. POF might have profited from this trend because of its cost-effectiveness and immunity to electromagnetic interference, which are factors driving its popularity in automotive applications.
