Global Optical Communication Market Outlook 2031:

The global optical communications market size was valued at USD 29.47 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 61.92 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The requirement for higher bandwidth devices with a data throughput of greater than 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) is likely to rise during the forecast period, owing to the fast expansion of 5G technology and high-performance applications enabled by cloud networks.

Data security in high-capacity broadband networks, short-haul corporate and campus networks, high-bandwidth connections for DCI, and cloud computing are enabled by optical communication and networking devices with data speeds of more than 100 Gbps.

Optical Communication Market Outlook

The introduction of revolutionary technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence is fueling the requirement for faster internet connection standards. Traditional Internet lines (coaxial cables) have a maximum speed of 45 Megabits per second (45Mbps), whereas optical fibers can provide speed up to 100 Gigabytes per second (Gbps).

Supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 had a substantial impact on demand for optical communication and networking components. Following the second quarter of 2020, the optical communication and networking market rebounded. This is due to rising demand for stable Internet access as a result of the growing work-from-home trend across the globe.

Optical Communication Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities

  • Increased Internet traffic and global demand for reliable internet access are driving the market expansion.
  • Rising reliance of economies and organizations on uninterruptible data access is generating an insatiable requirement for additional bandwidth, spurring the growth of the market.
  • Growing number of data centers and the use of cloud-based services are propelling the optical communication market.
  • Expanding use of open-air optical technology, also known as wireless optical transmission, to construct optical networks without optical fibers is estimated to fuel the market growth.
  • The rise in the adoption of multiplexing to add extra users to any hub in the optical communications field is positively influencing the growth of the market.

Optical Communications Market Insights

Optical fibers segment to dominate the market

Based on types, the market can be classified as optical fibers, optical amplifiers, and optical transceivers.

The optical fibers segment is anticipated to lead the market during the forecast period. Optical fibers provide multimode and single-mode interfaces that allow commercial firms to float effective data for communication. Rising demand for data centers, rapid installation of 5G network modules, and expanding data traffic are driving the demand for optical fibers across the globe.

Optical Communication Market Types

Data centers segment to account a significant market share during the forecast period

On the basis of applications, the market can be segmented into data centers, telecom, enterprises, and others.

The data centers segment held a large market share in 2020, owing to an increasing number of data centers employing optical fiber networks to manage massive data loads. The telecom segment is estimated to dominate in the projected timeline due to the increasing number of smartphones and Internet usage, as well as social media participation.

In order to increase optical networking and communication in the digitally accelerated settings, developing countries such as China and India are prioritizing rapid infrastructure construction, network management, and planning.

Width division multiplexing (WDM) segment projected to hold a large market share

In terms of technology, the market can be divided into width division multiplexing (WDM), fiber channel, and SONET.

The WDM segment is expected to account for a major market share during the forecast period. It transports various wavelengths in a single fiber cable and provides organizations with full-duplex communication and security. Moreover, increasing demand for high-speed data transfer is estimated to foster the segment growth.

Optical Communication Market Technology

North America to account a large market share

In terms of regions, the market can be segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Latin America.

North America is anticipated to attain a larger market share in the projected timeline. High concentration of data centers and cloud computing hubs in the US, as well as the rapid development of the IT industry are proliferating the growth of the regional market.
