Research and Markets: Global 40G and 100G Line-cards Market 2011-2015: Prices of 100G Line-Cards Are Expected To Decline By 2013

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hbncrw/global_40g_and) has announced the addition of the "Global 40G and 100G Line-cards Market 2011-2015" report to their offering.

TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global 40G and 100G Line-cards market to grow at a CAGR of 27.2 percent over the period 2011-201. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing bandwidth requirements. The Global 40G and 100G Line-cards market has also been witnessing the growing demand for 100G Line-cards.

The key vendors dominating this market space are Alcatel-Lucent, Ciena Corp., Fujitsu Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and ZTE (News - Alert) Corp.

The oter vendors mentioned in the report are Cisco Systems Inc., NEC Corp., Ericsson Inc., Xtera Communications Inc., Juniper Networks Inc ., Technicolor Inc., Infinera Corp., Nokia Siemens (News - Alert) Networks, Fiberhome Networks Co. Ltd., and Tellabs Inc.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Networking team said: ''Over the past few years, the demand for 40G and 100G line-cards has been increasing significantly. However, 100G line-cards accounted for a very low percent of the entire sales volume of the Global 40G and 100G Line-cards market in 2011, because they are much more expensive than 40G line-cards. Despite this, the sales of 100G line-cards are expected to overshadow those of 40G line-cards in the coming years. This is because the prices of 100G line-cards are expected to decline by 2013. Indeed, by the end of 2015, the revenue contribution of 100G line-cards is expected to increase significantly.''

According to the report, the most important factor driving the adoption of 40G and 100G line-cards is the growing need for bandwidth to support data-intensive applications such as online gaming, IPVOD, and videophone services. Further, the penetration of smartphones and tablets has increased significantly, leading to increased demand for high-speed internet. The applications that are frequently used in these devices require high bandwidth to offer a rich experience to end-users. Therefore, 40G and 100G line-cards, which offer high bandwidth, are increasingly being adopted by enterprises and service providers.
