The fiber in the loop market involves the integration of optical fiber cables directly into networks as close as possible to subscribers such as residential or commercial customers. This brings fiber's benefits of high bandwidth and low latency within reach of more users at once. By deploying fiber optic cables all the way to neighborhoods or business districts and converting the final connection to a neighborhood or building to copper, the fiber in the loop technology enables internet service providers to cost-effectively deliver broadband internet speeds to many users simultaneously while retaining compatibility with existing equipment. The fiber in the loop network architecture provides subscribers with internet speeds comparable to all-optical fiber networks at lower installation costs due to use of some existing copper infrastructure.
The global fiber in the loop market is estimated to be valued at US$ 13.15 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.7% over the forecast period ending 2031.
