According to a recently published report by technology market information analyst Dell’Oro Group, total global revenue for the broadband access equipment market increased to $19 billion in 2022, up 17 percent year-over-year (Y/Y).
Meanwhile, the analyst found that spending on PON equipment continued to fuel the overall market, with revenue for PON OLTs and ONTs reaching $11.7 billion for the year.
Dell Oro's 4Q 2022 Broadband Access and Home Networking quarterly report also found that total XGS-PON OLT port shipments exceeded 2 million for the year, reaching a total of 2.3 million worldwide.
For its part, total cable access concentrator revenue was up 1 percent Y/Y at $1 billion, noted the report's summary.
However, the analyst found that Remote PHY devices, Remote OLTs, and Virtual CMTS platforms all recorded significant revenue gains for the year, as cable operators continue to expand their DAA and fiber initiatives.
Jeff Heynen, VP with Dell’Oro Group, remarked:
“The focus on upgrading and expanding broadband access networks was a clear focus for operators around the world in 2022. We expect broadband to remain a critical area of investment in 2023, as operators expand their footprint and increase the speeds and services they offer subscribers."
