The global fusion splicer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.93% during 2016-2020. In 2015, the telecommunication segment was the highest contributor to the overall market, with a 63.83% market share. The demand for fusion splicers is growing in the segment, which is expected to expand its presence further in the global market. The fiber-optic technology uses thin strands of glass or plastic called optical fibers. Optical fibers use light to transmit information between two places. An optical fiber is a thin cylinder of dielectric material, which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. Fusion splicers are used to join two optical fibers using heat. They offer high-strength, permanent, and low-loss joint, and plays an important role in the optical network.
