The Passive Optical Network Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). The passive optical network (PON) is a telecommunications technology that uses a point-to-multipoint design to facilitate LAN network distribution. The system can be classified as fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), fibre-to-the-curb (FTTC), or fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) depending on PON. The global passive optical market is growing due to the rising need for scalability in mobile networks and advancements in gigabit passive optical network (GPON) SoC technologies. The increase in demand for FTTH is expected to drive market growth.

In recent years, the adoption of LTE networks and fixed broadband subscriptions has accelerated, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Due to reductions in latency on 5G NR and 4G LTE, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) delivers more data capacity. It steered most operators into new 5G use cases by allowing them to provide mobile broadband services to users directly. As a result of improved spectral efficiency and capacity, as well as increased smartphone data use in developed and emerging nations, it offers necessary facilities for digital services. To acquire greater market share, key players are using different strategies such as alliances and acquisitions, as well as product development. For instance, in May 2020, Nokia announced that it will collaborate with Openreach to construct and implement GPON and XGS-PON fibre access technologies to expand Openreach's fibre-rich network to 4.5 million locations in the UK.
