Stratistics MRCによると、世界のダークファイバー市場は2024年に75億米ドルとなり、予測期間中のCAGRは14.5％で成長し、2030年までには170億米ドルに達すると予測されています。

ダークファイバーとは、将来のデータ容量需要に対応するため、ネットワークインフラ構築の一環として敷設された未使用の光ファイバーケーブルを指します。これらのケーブルは点灯しないままであるため、企業や通信会社、データセンターは光ファイバーインフラを専用にリースしたり、所有したりすることができます。このアプローチにより、企業はネットワークの運用、セキュリティ、帯域幅をコントロールすることができ、共用の電気通信サービスへの依存を回避することができます。

耐久性と耐腐食性の向上

ダークファイバーインフラは、物理的なストレスや極端な気象条件にも耐えられる高い耐久性により、寿命が延び、メンテナンスコストが削減されます。そのため、修理や交換の頻度が減り、メンテナンスコストの削減につながります。耐腐食性は、沿岸地域、工業地帯、高湿度地域において極めて重要であり、ファイバーが数十年にわたって稼動し続けることを保証します。ダークファイバーは、地下、水中、空中など多様な地形に敷設できるため、特に海底ケーブルでは、遠隔地や困難な場所にもネットワークを拡張できます。

複雑な製造プロセス

光ファイバーの製造には、複雑なプロセス、高度な技術、厳格な品質管理が必要です。高純度シリカのような特殊な原材料が必要なため、コストが上昇し、中小企業には手が届きにくくなります。また、製造が複雑なため、適格なサプライヤーが制限され、参入障壁が高くなり、サプライチェーンのボトルネックにつながります。サプライヤーの集中は独占的な行動を招き、価格の上昇や特定の地域でのファイバーインフラへのアクセス制限につながります。
