Global Radio Over Fiber Market 2025 by Company, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Radio Over Fiber market size was valued at US$ 531 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1348 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 14.4% during review period.
Radio Over Fiber is a technology that describes the conversion of a Radio Frequency (RF) signal into a Fiber Optic (FO) signal and then back to an RF signal. In Radio Over Fiber architecture, a data-carrying RF (Radio Frequency) signal with a high frequency (usually greater than 10 GHz is imposed on a lightwave signal before being transported over the optical link. Therefore, wireless signals are optically distributed to base stations directly at high frequencies and converted from the optical to electrical domain at the base stations before being amplified and radiated by an antenna. As a result, no frequency up/down conversion is required at the various base stations, thereby resulting in simple and rather cost-effective implementation is enabled at the base stations.
Radio Over Fiber (RoF) has recently emerged as a useful technology for providing specialized coverage of wireless communications services. It was first proposed and demonstrated by Cooper et al in 1990. This relatively ‘niche’ market is expected to grow significantly in the future as new Radio Over Fiber (RoF) technologies emerge and their applications become more diverse and less costly. Radio Over Fiber (RoF) is poised to become the dominant access transmission technology for low-power wireless networks.
The high dependency of wireless communication industry on Radio Over Fiber (RoF) as the primary factor driving Radio Over Fiber (RoF) market growth during the forecast period. The Radio Over Fiber (RoF) technology is essential for the wireless market for supporting the ever-growing data traffic volumes and transporting information through optical fibers by modulation of light with the radio signal. The demand for increased capacity per unit area leads to higher operating frequencies above 6Ghz and smaller radio cells. The large bandwidth and low attenuation loss are the significant advantages of RoF technology which is likely to contribute to the global Radio Over Fiber (RoF) market growth. With the increased adoption of 4G and 5G, wireless communication will have considerable potential for growth, making it one of the essential trends fueling the demand for Radio Over Fiber (RoF) technology over the next few years.
Global core manufacturers of Radio Over Fiber include HUBER + SUHNER, Emcore, APIC Corporation, Syntonics LLC, DEV Systemtechnik and Global Foxcom, etc. The top five manufacturers account for approximately 40% of the global share. HUBER + SUHNER is the world's largest Radio Over Fiber manufacturer, with a market share of approximately 17%.
From a production perspective, Asia-Pacific, North America and Europe are the world's major RF optical fiber module production regions, with the three together accounting for more than 96% of the market share.
In terms of product types, 3-10 GHz and Up to 3 GHz occupy a dominant position. At the same time, in terms of applications, civilian applications are the largest application field, accounting for 65%.
