ElectroniCast ElectroniCast conducts studies and provides forecasts in the worldwide fiber optic/photonic, optoele

In analyzing and forecasting a product or service market, ElectroniCast combines several techniques:
Product consumption and production history is determined by:
• Interviews of the leading product or service users and producers ("dual track" primary research)
• Secondary research (a review of published information, including industry data, technical papers, financial reports)
This research provid

es a consensus of the past history of the product or service: value, price trends, application trends, leading producers and their market shares. The forecast, working from this historical data, is based on interviews of:
• Users (mainly design engineers who decide which product to specify)
• Suppliers (manufacturers, distributors, transporters)
• Researchers (industrial, government, university)
• Government agencies

The short range (1-2 years) forecast is based mainly on a consensus of supplier and user
viewpoints. If adequate historical data are available, projections also may contribute to the short-range forecast. These methods, however, are not suitable for long-range forecasts, especially for advanced-technology products. The long-range forecast is based upon the following sequence:
• The advancement of technology of the product, competing products and the end applications is forecasted based on interviews of researchers and other experts in the product field.
• The economic significance of the advanced technology products is analyzed from the following perspectives:
• Real value to user, determined by user interviews
• Displacement of competing products
• Creation of new markets
• The production of the end-use equipments or systems is forecasted.
• Production costs, and thus minimum pricing, of the product at various quantity levels are
analyzed.
• The demand forecast is derived by bottom-up, application-by-application analysis. The analysis of cost-effectiveness and understanding of the user perception of risk of the product provide insight into the rate of pe*******on of the product into the various end applications at its minimum profitable price. Input/output analysis applies the pe*******on forecasts to the end-application production forecasts to provide a cross-check of the product consumption forecast. This consumption forecast is then adjusted by forecasted imports and exports, inventory change, R&D use, and other non-production markets to derive the total production forecast. Finally, by user interviews, the production forecasts are segmented into captive (in-house) production versus available (merchant) market. The forecast data are computer-processed and the forecasts are available on CD Rom or via e-mail delivery.

Human Centric Lighting (HCL) Market Forecast

Global use of selected modules and devices in HCL reached $1.503 billion in 2021

June 23, 2022 -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market/technology consultancy, today announced the release of their market study and forecast of the use of LED light engines, lighting management LED Drivers control interface modules/devices (DALI, DMX, other), lighting sensors, switches, dimmers units, and other control units that are initially and primarily used with Human Centric Lighting (HCL) as the primary objective and initial consideration.

Human Centric Lighting, also sometimes referred to as Biodynamic Light or Circadian Lighting, is the next development stage in the evolution of lighting design. HCL is aimed to mimic (closely imitate) the natural color of daylight, which stimulates the production of melatonin and serotonin which control the physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in a person, or their circadian rhythm. Another consideration is seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is a form of seasonal depression or winter depression. People with SAD experience mood changes and symptoms similar to depression.

According to ElectroniCast, the worldwide consumption value of specified modules/devices in solid-state lighting (SSL), which includes LEDs currently and eventually OLEDs, for the initial and primary purpose in Human Centric Lighting (HCL), reached an estimated $1.5 billion in 2021. The use of these devices/modules, is forecasted to increase to slightly over $5.0 billion in 2026. The consultancy forecasts the value will increase rapidly at an average annual growth rate of just-over 27% during the 1st-half of the forecast timeframe (2021-2026) and an impressive but slower-pace of just-over 17.5% during the 2nd-half (2026-2031), and eventually reaching nearly $11.3 billion in 2031.

Market forecast data in this study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data. Also, 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.

This study provides a 10-year forecast global forecast and analysis (2021-2031) of the use of the specified HCL modules/devices for use in offices/work area; shopping centers/stores; hospitality, healthcare; and other various other applications.

According to the just-released study, increasingly, the automatic assembly and test manufacturing process for solid-state lighting (SSL) products allow for mass-production capability. In addition, over the next few years, the average selling prices of the Human Centric Lighting products (HCL) will be driven lower, as a result of production efficiencies, yield improvements (aided by quality controls), competition (both market competition and technology competition), marketing/sales distribution improvements, and other factors.

Film and Video Professional Production LED Lighting Market Forecast

According to ElectroniCast, the worldwide market value of LED Production Lighting reached $331.2 million in 2021…

Aptos, CA (USA) – April 21, 2022 -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market research consultancy covering the LED lighting industry, today announced the release of their global market forecast of the use of light emitting diode (LED) professional production lights in Television/Broadcast, Motion Picture, and Videography.

According to the market forecast report, the global consumption of LED professional lighting lamps/fixtures reached $331.2 million in 2021. During the forecast period, the value of the LED-equipped lighting is forecast 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.

According to the study, LED-based lighting is forecast to be the light source of the next generation in the professional production lighting sector studied in this market research project. Current LED technology already competes favorably with Hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide (HMI), fluorescent and tungsten sources and is powerful enough for the new crossover videographers.

LED lighting is increasingly used in broadcast/TV and movie studios worldwide since LED solutions are a cool running (temperature), energy efficient, light source with an adequate quality of light giving increasingly accepted color rendition and “natural” skin tones. This LED technology is not just limited to large panels of light, but is also available in small, portable, battery-operated units that could be attached to video cameras that are currently available.

New LED-based professional production lights are designed to meet the needs of demanding videographers. LED technology is a strong competitor to other light source technologies, due to its reliability, light quality, durability (rugged) and rapid on/off features (and several other benefits) of LED lighting in professional production applications.

Some examples of video/motion professionals that specify and use LED lighting include: steady-cam operators; Cinematographers; Operators, television, video, and motion picture camera; News camera operators; Motion picture camera operators; Electronic newsgathering operators; Video camera operators; Film and video editors; Camera operators, television, video, and motion picture; Video editors; ENG operators; Studio camera operators, others.

Broadcast studio camera operators work in a broadcast studio and usually videotape/ digital recording their subjects from a fixed position. News camera operators, also called electronic news gathering (ENG) operators, work as part of a reporting team, following newsworthy events as they unfold. To capture live events, they must anticipate the action and act quickly. Television, video, and motion picture camera operators usually acquire their skills through formal postsecondary training at film schools, colleges, universities, or photographic institutes; therefore, LED lighting manufacturers should consider these institutions in the marketing efforts.

The sales and distribution of LED-based professional production lights are typically aimed at:
• Rental Companies
• Lighting Designers
• Lighting Engineers and Specifiers
• Content Production Companies
• Venue/locations (Stadiums, Arenas, Other)

In this global market forecast study report of LED-based professional production lights used in the television/broadcast, videography, and motion picture/film industry sectors, nearly 70 companies, which compete in this sector, are profiled.

LED professional production lighting, which is used for General Lighting purposes, but with primary concern to accommodate the parameters of High Definition (HD) or other related production concerns for broadcast/TV, motion pictures or videography illumination, is covered in this market forecast. The major market potential for these general lighting/production lights is in sport arenas and stadiums that prefer lighting, which are compliant with slow-motion and/or high-definition television standards.

The broadcast/television, motion pictures and professional videography industry sectors employ professional camera operators in the United States and worldwide. Independent television stations, local affiliate stations of television networks or broadcast groups, large cable and television networks, or smaller, independent production companies, employ camera operators. There also are a large number of self-employed camera operators and film editors. Some self-employed camera operators, contract with television networks, documentary or independent filmmakers, advertising agencies/commercials, or trade show or convention sponsors to work on individual projects for a set fee, often at a daily rate.

Larger square or rectangle (shape) LED lights, which also include linear or tube led in consumption value last year in 2021 with nearly 50 percent in relative market share versus the other LED light categories. The average selling prices (ASPs) for smaller devices are significantly less than the larger fixtures.

In terms of volume (number of units), the smaller units currently hold the market share lead; however, because of their relatively low average selling price (ASP) compared to the larger-sized units, they have a lesser market share in terms of value.

The worldwide value of LED-based production lighting in the Television/Broadcast segment was $206.2 million in 2021, compared to $89.3 million in the Motion Picture category and $35.6 million in the Videography industry segment.

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, includes consumption of less electrical power and quiet operation (no fan required), as well as ‘flicker-free” operation. Also, LEDs not only use less energy, less air conditioning is required in the studio, since heat generated by LED lights is negligible.

LED production lights in the motion picture/film category is driven by requirements for lighting effects and set lighting, mainly because of its 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.

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

The worldwide use of component-level compact PLC splitters reached an estimated $142.4 million in 2021, up from $131.9 million in 2020

February 8, 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 date is segmented by: Component Device (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 forecast to increase to $170.3 million in the year 2026, and eventually increasing 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. The Europe, Middle East, Africa region (EMEA) and the American region (South, Central and North America) held 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 in 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) is 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.

10-Year Market Forecast – Fiber Optic Sensors

January 11, 2022 -- ElectroniCast Consultants, a leading market/technology forecast consultancy, today announced the release of their market forecast and analysis of the global consumption of Fiber Optic Sensors. The market forecast data is presented and segmented in two main sections:

• Fiber Optic Point (Local) Sensor: Complete Unit
• Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor (Continuous and Quasi): System Channel Line

Fiber Optic Point Sensor – Global Market Forecast - During the 2021-2031 timeline, ElectroniCast is forecasting that the consumption (use) value will increase from $1.244 billion to $1.94 billion. (Each Point sensor is counted as one complete component unit, which may also include interconnect devices and immediate enclosure or casing).

Compared with other types of sensors, fiber-optic sensors exhibit a number of advantages:

• They consist of electrically insulating materials (no electric cables are required), which makes possible their use in high-voltage environments.
• They can be safely used in explosive environments, because there is no risk of electrical sparks, even in the case of defects.
• They are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), even to nearby lightning strikes, and do not themselves electrically disturb other devices.
• Their materials can be chemically passive; therefore, do not contaminate their surroundings and are not subject to corrosion.
• They have a very wide operating temperature range (much wider than is possible for many electronic devices).
• They have multiplexing capabilities: multiple sensors in a single fiber line can be interrogated with a single optical source.

Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor System – Global Market Forecast - According to the just-completed study, during the 10-year timeline, the worldwide consumption value of the combined use of Continuous- and Quasi-continuous Distributed fiber optics sensor system channel lines is forecasted to increase from $4.612 billion in 2021 to $10.385 billion in 2031. Market forecast data in this study report refers to consumption (use) for a particular calendar year; therefore, this data is not cumulative data.
Types of Distributed Fiber Optic System Lines qualified in this market study:

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. The Continuous Distributed sensing links are segmented by the following technology types: Interferometric; Raman scattering (Raman effect); Brillouin Scattering.

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.
