SUMMARY
This new report by Strategies Unlimited outlines a strategy for European
companies and policy makers to make the optical component industry more
competitive. Europe is poised for rapid deployment of optical fiber to homes
and neighborhoods, with compounded growth expected to be over 40% per year
through 2010.A European equipment suppliers, such as Alcatel, as well as
local suppliers of parts and labor, will be in a good position to benefit from
that growth. However, the optical components market is already largely
decoupled geographically from the equipment vendors and carriers. Much of the
package assembly has already moved to East Asia to minimize manufacturing
costs. This puts severe pressure on European manufacturers to find new ways to
remain competitive and keep operations in Europe. The report reviews these two
parts of the market, the deployment of services and component supply, and
presents fiveA recommendations that could improve the position of suppliers. ,
