Yet factors such as installing fiber optic cables provide several operational difficulties for market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a remarkable impact on the market studied, with several end-user industries that deploy wire and cables facing several difficulties. The spread of COVID-19 across the United States and Europe has forced telecom regulators to postpone 5G spectrum auctions. For instance, in Portugal, Vodafone, NOS, and MEO had to wait for frequency rights in various frequency bands such as 700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 900 MHz, 2.6 GHz, 2.1 GHz, and 3.6 GHz bands.

Adoption of Fiber-optic cable

Fiber-optic cable spans long distances between local phones and provides the backbone for network systems. Other system users include cable television services, office buildings, university campuses, industrial plants, and electric utility companies. Fiber cables travel between 984.2 feet and 24.8 miles, while the maximum transmission distance is 9,328. Fiber optic cables are less susceptible to interference.

The government programs to support 5G deployment across the globe drive market growth. For instance, the European Commission recognized the importance of the 5G network early and established a public-private partnership to develop and research 5G technology. As a result, the European Commission announced public funding of over GBP 700 million to support 5G deployment across Europe through the Horizon 2020 Program.

In Industry 4.0, the fiber optic cable network enables the upgrade of telecom networks, industrial data communication, and real-time monitoring in traditional industries with high-speed M2M/M2S networks. Thus, manufacturers of optical fiber cable focus on improving production to keep up with the growing demand for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband and power 5G services in the global market. According to GSMA, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are forecast to have the highest 5G adoption rates of any region worldwide in 2030. In the past few years, cloud and content providers have attempted to attract more users and offer reliable bandwidth-intensive services, increasing submarine infrastructure popularity.
