Milind Tamhane: One of the most eminent growth drivers for the Structured Cabling (SC) market is data centre consolidation. This is expected to drive the acceptance of fibre-based solutions and 10G solutions in the market. Additionally, newer paths such as triple plays, FTTH, extensions of SC to the residential domain and Giga-ready homes are bearing out to be the key growth drivers.

The cabling market has also spurred due to the penetration of bandwidth and the usage of its application. Technologies that have acted as channels of success are virtualisation, on-demand applications, VoIP and high p

erformance computing.

The IT industry is witnessing an increase in the demand from the infrastructure sector and government entities that are emerging as heavy investors. Both these segments are growing at a rate of over 20 percent, higher than over all IT market. This signals lucrative prospects for the SC market. In addition to these sectors, segments such as hospitality, healthcare and education are showing demand for Structured Cabling Systems (SCS).

In a nutshell we can say that the key drivers in SCS in last couple of years have been demand for data centers and network virtualization, penetration of internet in rural India and use of converged triple play (V/V/D) network over same physical network infrastructure. Apart from these factors growing SOHO / SMB segment and growth in enterprise, education and government infrastructure are also playing an important role in the demand for SCS.
