Hybrid Fiber Coaxial Market Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Growth Drivers
- Rising Demand for High Internet Bandwidth– Bandwidth demands all across the world often increase by roughly 50% per year. Currently, the average household in the world receives a bandwidth of around 5 to 10 Mbps. However, it is likely to grow to 40 Mbps in the next 5 years and can take a huge leap to nearly 300 Mbps in the next 10 years. HFC networks have been widely adopted for providing high-speed internet bandwidth to users. HFC networks utilize a hybrid architecture where fiber optics cables are used as the backbone infrastructure. The fiber optic cables provide high-capacity and low-latency transmission over longer distances.
- Increasing Exchange of Data– Every day, around 328.77 million terabytes of data are created in the world. In 2025, 181 zettabytes of data will be generated. With the proliferation of digital devices and the widespread adoption of the internet, people are consuming and generating more data than ever before. HFC networks offer the necessary bandwidth to cater to this growing data consumption.
- Growing Foothold of IoT-Connected Devices– In 2022, worldwide IoT connections have grown by 18% to around 14 billion active IoT endpoints. Moreover, the count is expected to rise by 16% to nearly 17 billion active endpoints in 2023. HFC networks provide the necessary infrastructure to connect a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the Internet. The wide coverage area of HFC networks allows for seamless connectivity, ensuring their efficient communication with cloud platforms, data centers, and other devices.
Challenges
- Interference in Signal and Noise- Coaxial cables used in HFC networks are susceptible to signal interference and noise, which can degrade the quality of the transmitted signals. Factors, such as signal leakage, electromagnetic interference, and network impairment impact the performance and reliability of HFC networks.
- Tough competition from fiber and wireless technologies
- Need for frequent future network upgrades
