Dark Fiber Market Dynamics:

The dark fiber networks market is expected to grow rapidly in the future as a result of rapid technological advancements and an increase in internet usage around the world.

Over the forecast period, the increasing global internet traffic rate will also drive the global dark fiber network market. The high demand for high-speed internet necessitates a large amount of bandwidth, resulting in the growth of the dark fiber networks market. The global dark fiber networks market is being driven by enterprises that rely heavily on a high-speed internet connection for their operations. Google, Facebook and Microsoft are just a few examples of companies that have their dark fiber network for operations.

Telecom service providers are also purchasing dark fiber networks in response to the rising demand for high-speed mobile data and the launch of 5G services.

Dark Fiber Market Segment Analysis:

Based on Type, the market is segmented into single-mode, multi-mode, and others. The multi-mode dark fiber network market dominates the market in 2021, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total market value. Currently, the vast majority of dark fiber networks leased are underground fiber networks. These are metro fiber networks with a greater density of multimode fibers. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of fiber to the premises (FTTP) and fiber to the cabin (FTTC), among other technologies, is contributing to the segment's growth.

Based on Network, the market is segmented into metro, long-haul, and others. In 2021, the long-haul fiber system segment led the market, capturing a 68.8 % revenue share. Increased investments in long-haul dark fiber network infrastructure are driving the segment. Besides, market vendors are collaborating with social media companies, enterprises, and colocation service providers to provide dark fiber connectivity between countries, which is fueling the market growth.

Based on End Users, the market is segmented into internet service providers (ISPs) & telecom, banks financial services & insurance (BFSI), and others. During the forecast period, the internet service providers (ISPs) and telecommunications segment are expected to lead the dark fiber market. The continued adoption of cloud storage and the increasing technological developments in the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence and deep learning can be attributed to the growth of this segment.

Dark Fiber Market Regional Insights:

North America currently leads the global dark fiber market, accounting for more than 41 % of the global market value. Because of the country's early adoption of this concept, the market here is primarily backed by the United States. The region's demand for dark fiber is expected to remain strong due to the increasing emphasis of tech behemoths such as Microsoft Corporation on building their networks.

In the coming years, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for dark fiber networks. Japan, China, and Australia are among the countries with high fiber-optic network penetration. As a result, the countries have enormous potential for providing dark fiber for internet service. Furthermore, the growing use of fiber networks in the medical industry, particularly in India, China, and Japan would increase demand for dark data fiber in the regional market.
