DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2f23dc/indian_fixed_broad) has announced the addition of the "Indian Fixed broadband Access Equipment Market" report to their offering.

As more and more Indians demand internet access, the ISP market is witnessing tremendous growth in the number of subscribers. As a result the demand for the network equipment and consumer premise equipments bought by ISPs is growing. So what is driving the consumer demand? It is the increased use cases for consumers such as email, messaging, website browsing, tickets and e-commerce and other drivers such as cost of broadband going down, and amongst other drivers cost of government initiatives to drive broadband.

In this study we have estimated the demand for various kind of equipment and CPEs namely DSL Modems, and DSLAM's for DSL technology; Cable Modems and CMTS for Cable technology (Hybrid Fiber Co-axial); OLT, ONT's, PON (GEPON/GPON, EPON), STM's (1, 4, 16,64s), WDM's (Coarse and Dense) for Optic Fiber technology, and Antenna's and routers for Wi-max and Wi-Fi Technology. We have done this based on discussions with various players both demand and supply side and other experts in the market. We have done extensive modelling and validation of data with government bodies' data, existing databases, as well as players in the market. We first estimated the growth of subscribers by various technologies for each player and then summed them up for each player and then for the entire market. We estimate that in the next 5 years, the total demand for all equipments and devices would be a cumulative total of 11.2 billion dollars and around 43 million units.

While the largest demand for equipment would be for DSLAM equipment, new categories like DWDM's (and also a new variation CWDM), STM 64's and GEPON would pick up due to FTTH technology, increased band width requirements for use cases such as Gaming, VOIP, IPTV etc.

The major players in the equipment market such as Huawei, UT Starcom, Alcatel Lucent and Tejas Networks would continue to hold major share. As per our research, top 5 ISP vendors account for more than 75% of the market. New players and players with lower market share should focus on both DSL and Cable modem technology involving component focus like DSLAM and CMTS which is expected to be in demand. Players with technological capabilities should focus on equipments like DWDM's, CWDMs and STM 64's. We also expect the entry or expansion of foreign players outside of big 5 as well.

We also expect this to have a huge ripple effect for Cat 5, Coaxial, DSL cable players and Fiber optic cable manufacturers. The ones at the forefront like Radius Infratel, Aksh Optifiber and Sterlite are likely to gain a lot. Radius Infratel won a contract with Ericsson to deploy FTTH solutions aimed to serve 6, 00,000 households and businesses using GPON systems. Sterlite also won optical Fiber contract from BSNL to lay 17,000 Km of OFC network to replace BSNL'S existing copper networks.

As per the comment by the service management head of another equipment players, there is tremendous growth opportunity in the 100 gigs segment in the near future.

These are all great news for equipment vendors and Knowledgefaber expects positive growth in this sector.
