Submarine Cables Account for Over 90% Data Traffic across the Globe
Submarine communication cables account for more than 90% of the data traffic generated across the world. They have an impressive carrying capacity, which is measured in terabits per sector. Subsequently, these cables are highly valued by OTT and behemoth communication providers such as Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.
They are also considered vital components, indispensable for economies by most governments. Various countries therefore have implemented specific regulations governing the market. Some of the countries have even created safety zones, prohibiting access to the cables along the ocean floor, thus protecting them again potential damage.
Submarine Cable Line Ownership Gaining More Prominence among Tech-Enabled Product and Service providers
The growing volume of data traffic has augmented investment in submarine cables. FMI forecasts the market to witness increasing investment in regions such as the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Europe. Some of the leading communication providers are behind surging investment recorded in these regions. For instance, Amazon’s cables are laid from the U.S. to Asia Pacific, connecting countries such as California, Japan, Oregon, and Singapore.
FMI studies various factors impacting growth of the market in detail. It offers in-depth insights into the market. Some of these are:
- Europe is forecast to emerge dominant in the global submarine cables market
- Increasing offshore wind farm activities will augment investment in the market
- Huge repair and maintenance cost may hinder growth
- Barriers to the entry of small players will continue especially since the market is highly capital intensive
- Nonetheless smaller companies are expected to focus on smaller projects across various regions
Despite a few disadvantages, submarine cables are considered cheaper and more efficient medium for communication between countries. Besides this, submarine cables are used in power transmission, which is expected to give impetus to the market in the coming years,” said a lead analyst at FMI.
Who is winning?
The submarine cables market is characterized by the presence of several behemoths hence it witnesses stiff competition.
