The overall dark fiber networks market is segmented on the basis of fiber type, network type, and end-user. On the basis of fiber type, the market is led by multi-mode accounting for more than 2/3rd of the total market value. This is primarily due to the higher utilization of dark fiber through underground fiber networks. Based on geography, the market is led by North America accounting for more than 40% of the total market value generated worldwide. The Asia Pacific is set to register the highest growth in the following years, primarily due to the high penetration of fiber optics networks in Japan, China, and South Korea.

The dark fiber networks market is strongly supported by business organizations having heavy dependence over internet connectivity. These networks are believed to be highly beneficial for companies requiring high volumes of data flow in their operation. These benefits include scalability, reduced network latency, enhanced security, and reliability. Google, Inc., Facebook, Inc. and Microsoft Corporation are prime examples inclined towards having their own fiber network. For instance, Google has been aggressively purchasing dark fiber since 2005 with an intention of establishing a high-speed network between its data centers.

Further, Facebook operates a majority of its data transport through previously unused ‘dark fiber networks’. With continually rising volumes of data worldwide, dark fiber networks are set to witness higher demand in the following years. Another factor fueling the market growth is the declining costs of dark fiber network leasing. With the growing density of fiber networks, the overall costs of equipment and installation have reduced significantly, thereby lowering the leasing costs. The majority of the market finds its potential in underground fibers as a significant chunk of these networks is still unlit.
