One point of view is that:
With the customer inventory adjustment phase ending at the end of 2024, and the global economy improving in 2025. The optical transmission market is expected to resume growth in 2025.
According to a new report from a group:
A mix of excess inventory and economic challenges is holding back the market.
Although due to reduced global demand. The optical transmission equipment market fell 18% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2024.
The group’s vice president said:
“The demand for optical transmission equipment is significantly reduced.”
"Although customer inventory remains one of the factors contributing to the sales decline."
"We believe adverse macroeconomic conditions have a greater impact on current market outcomes."
"This is particularly evident in some important geographical areas."
Recovery is coming in 2025
Although 2024 will be challenging due to customer inventory adjustments that began in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Based on communications with suppliers, the group received the following information:
"Order flow is increasing and optical revenue is improving in North America."
"And that's where most of the excess inventory is sitting."
The group therefore forecasts the end of the customer inventory adjustment phase at the end of 2024. As well as global economic conditions improving in early 2025, the optical transmission market will resume growth in 2025.
