By Technology
100G is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
Coherent optical equipment is a central device that promotes 1,00G+ speed of information transmission capacity. The inclination toward coherent optical communication has been witnessed to increase, due to improvement in digital coherent receiver ability to employ a variety of spectrally efficient modulation formats. The modulation formats such as the quadrature-amplitude modulation (QAM), M-ary phase-shift keying, and the receiver rely on stable carrier-phase estimation in the digital domain. Owing to this linear transmission, impairments such as group-velocity dispersion (GVD) and polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) of transmission fibers can be equalized via digital signal processing.

Top Impacting Factors
Rise in demand for high-speed bandwidth across the globe acts as a key driver of the global market. In addition, technological advancements in networking infrastructure across the globe is expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Moreover, increase in internet penetration across the globe acts as one of the major factors that is anticipated to boost growth of the global market.
However, lack of efficient fiber networks in major countries restrains the deployment of fiber backhaul to support small cells. On the contrary, proliferation of internet and its associated services and products in rural areas is expected to be opportunistic for the market.
Technological Advancements in Networking Infrastructure Across the World
Increase in data consumption and improvement in network coverage across the world have fueled the need for coherent optical equipment. The 5th generation wireless connection is expected to be the next leap in technology, as it has the ability to transmit more data while providing a more steady and reliable connection. This in turn is expected to drive growth of the coherent optical equipment market. In addition, the demand for optical fiber has been increasing, due to shortage of fiber and long-term plans for installation of networks. Thus, network providers have been negotiating directly with fiber manufacturers to secure a long-term supply of optical fiber; for instance, in April 2017, Verizon Communications signed an agreement with Corning for laying a 20 million km. of optical fiber per year from 2018 through 2020. The company has been intending to use this fiber to build its network.
Surge in Internet Penetration
Consumer video on demand (VoD) traffic, internet video surveillance traffic, and augmented reality (AR) & virtual reality (VR) network traffic have increased from the recent past, due to rise in internet penetration. This in turn is expected to boost the growth of the coherent optical equipment market in the coming years. In addition, emergence of new social media platforms and applications is expected to increase the network traffic, which will drive the demand for coherent optical equipment. Moreover, telecom operators are expanding their 4G infrastructure to accommodate such massive network traffic and deliver strong network bandwidth, which is expected to drive the coherent optical equipment market growth during the forecast period.
