Fiber-to-the-home architecture expected to account for largest market size in 2018

Fiber-to-the-home architecture is expected to hold the largest size of the FTTx market in 2018. This can be attributed to the increasing number of subscribers globally. Applications such as internet TV, video on demand, video calling, and video conferencing are driving the need for higher bandwidth, and to cater to this need, the existing copper networks are being replaced with fiber networks under various FTTx architectures, such as FTTh, FTTp, FTTb, and FTTo.
