Gore & Associates, Inc., Timbercon, Inc., TE Connectivity, Prysmian Group, and OFS Fitel, LLC some of the well-established aerospace fiber optic cables market players.



Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Aerospace Fiber Optic Cables Market

The aircraft production industry is heavily dependent on manual labor despite robotic technology. In the wake of strong lockdown regulations imposed by several countries, the aircraft-manufacturing sector is experiencing a significantly lower number of labors in respective aircraft and component manufacturing facilities. Since the aircraft-manufacturing sector is majorly concentrated in North America and Europe, the two regions are facing a tremendous challenge in maintaining its manufacturing pace with the outbreak. The European countries manufacture various aircraft components; however, increasing number of COVID-19 infected patients is posing a significant challenge to a majority of European countries. The plane makers across the globe are witnessing a severe downfall in component procurement, which is reflecting downfall in the production of aircraft.

Attributing to the fact that the aerospace fiber optic cables market players are scattered across North America, Europe, and APAC region, the outbreak across these regions has resulted in disruption in adequate manufacturing quantity of fiber optic cables and supply chain. This has negatively affected the aerospace fiber optic cables market.
