Strategic Focus - Shijia Photonics focuses on the optical chip and device sector based on the anticipated future trends in the optical communication industry. The company aims to penetrate the data center market with its core product being high-power CW light sources, which have a significantly lower technical barrier compared to EML and VCSEL chips, presenting opportunities for Chinese manufacturers [3][25][26]. Market Dynamics - The fiber connector market is expected to explode in the second half of 2024, primarily benefiting from the increased construction of data centers in North America. The demand for MPO connectors is driven by data center cabling companies rather than direct sales from optical modules [4][16][18]. - The demand cycle for MPO products differs from that of optical modules, as MPO connectors have a longer lifespan and are primarily driven by the procurement of data center cabling systems [16]. Competitive Landscape - The MPO connector market is highly fragmented, with major players like Changying Sheng, Taichen Light, Shijia Photonics, and Tianfu holding a combined market share of less than 30%. Shijia Photonics reported a revenue of 150 million RMB from fiber connectors in 2023, with significant growth expected in 2024 [22]. Future Outlook - The market for CW laser modules is projected to reach a potential scale of approximately 3.6 billion RMB by 2025, driven by the expected shipment of 30 to 40 million units of 400G and above high-speed optical modules [27]. - The penetration rate of AWG products in FR optical modules is currently low, estimated at under 30%, with potential growth to 50% in the future [28]. - The growth of the MPO product market is driven by the active construction of new data centers and the expansion of channel numbers due to new product forms like CPO and OIO [29][20]. Internal Management Reforms - Shijia Photonics has implemented internal reforms, including the establishment of business units and the introduction of KPI assessment mechanisms, leading to improved management precision and a significant increase in gross margins [31].
