Preface • Work summary

In 2022, the world is in turmoil and political tensions are high, it is obvious to all that the Russia-Ukraine conflict caused
technology demand fluctuations, inflation pressure, supply chain and exchange rate fluctuations. However, under the
continuous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global digital economy development has pressed the fast forward
button. Online working, online teaching and online medical treatment become the new normal, which has accelerated
the global digital transformation and network infrastructure. According to statistics, the number of 5G users in the world
has exceeded over 1 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach 4.4 billion in 2027. Although limited by political tensions
in some regions, raw material supply, shortage of transport capacity, high freight and other uncertainties, the optical
communication industry still entered a new gold development cycle with quantity and price rising together in a complex
environment.

Meanwhile, the global demand for optical fiber and cable is still optimistic. It is expected that the global demand for
optical fiber and cable will maintain a good development trend in 2022 to 2027; At present, China's market demand for
optical fiber and cable has accounted for more than 50% of the global share, and this demand will grow steadily in the
coming years.

Since 2006, the year 2022 has been the 16th year for Network Telecom Information Research Institute to host the ranking
event of Top 10 Competitiveness Enterprises in the Optical Communications of China & Global Market. According to
research statistics which demonstrates the market structure of the optical communications market, we can see a leap in the
competitiveness of enterprises in the optical communications. The Rankings of the Top 10 competitiveness enterprises
in the optical communications industry of global market clearly shows the competition among enterprises in the optical
communications and its sub-industries of China and Global market in 2022.
