The massive worldwide growth of the Internet has driven an explosion in the demand for bandwidth, and just like any other trend, this one means big money for those companies that are meeting that demand. Fiber optics component makers are in the perfect position to profit from the Internet's appetite for more bandwidth.
The market for optical components is expected to grow from $6.6 billion in 1999 to more than $23 billion by 2003. Longer term, some predictions put the annual growth rate for some optical components at 20% for the next 25 years! Show us an industry with those projected growth rates, and we'll show you some very promising investment opportunities.
