There is no question that foreign competition has been successful in taking over the optical production market. In 1984, 63.5% of high technology laser optics were made in North America, with 17.5% produced through off-shore facilities. It has been predicted that by the end of 1988 that the North American share will drop to 45% and the Asian share, alone, will increase to 40.0%.
