The Leverage Effect of Photonics Technologies: the European Perspective Information, communication and networks: a SWOT analysis for Europe Strengths ● EU is strong global player in some research areas ● Strong historic connections between research and industry in several countries ● Strong historic domestic position is now exploited to address the global, international markets ● Strong position in more complex hardware ● EU telecom infrastructure is among the best in the world Opportunities ● Further political attention to the increase of high quality telecom infrastructure ● Increased market demand from BRIC countries with high economic growth ● Global increase in attention to e-business ● New technological developments, creating new opportunities for business ● Attention to the knowledge society demands high quality telecom infrastructure ● Increase is societal demand for media and communication Weaknesses ● Relative high costs of components and dependence on manual labour ● Shortage of attention to in house systems and component development by network operators ● Energy consumption of network is a problem, looking at the pressure on reduction of energy usage Threats ● Strong development of research and industrial base in Asia, due to upcoming demand in this region ● Demand for high quality networks can lead to failure of the system (capacity constraints) ● Reduction of research on ultra fast networks 54 / 190
The Leverage Effect of Photonics Technologies: the European Perspective 3.3.5 Impacts The basic economic impact is divided into two different elements. The first focuses on the economic growth accompanied by the value chain, including both the enabled manufacturing industries and final markets. The second element focuses on the potential increase of competitiveness because of Information, communication and networks ■ The telecom market will continue to increase The overall growth of the telecom sector has been strong during the last decade it has fully recovered from the crash at the start of the millennium and the sector has also quickly recovered from the recent credit crunch. The telecom industry itself will be accompanied by significant economic growth, especially due to its enabling impact to knowledge intensive services and growing demand from especially industrial developments in China and India. ■ Overall impact on economic growth is significant, with limited exceptions The majority of the economic impact is based on the positive impacts developments in this area will have on most final markets. Entertainment, culture & education, Medical and Healthcare and telecommunication itself are especially likely to show significant economic growth. Within the enabled manufacturing industries Media & broadcasting should also see strong growth based on communication developments. Printing and publishing might show a negative effect, although a refocusing of activities and new business models may limit reductions and even show economic growth (e.g. ebooks with rented content). ■ Significant impact on competitiveness for almost all industries and markets Looking at competitiveness, this value chain will have a positive effect on almost all sectors. As data and information is (increasingly) crucial for almost all industrial activities, a higher quality information infrastructure will lead to an increase in competitiveness. The further shift towards a fully grown information and knowledge society requires the highest quality of communication infrastructure. Not only because of access to information, but also access to expertise and greater demands for security of supply and resistance to network failure. The overall conclusion on the economic impact of this value chain is that the telecom sector itself will show continuous growth and will lead 55 / 190
