Optical Transceiver Market Outlook – 2030
The global optical transceiver market size was valued at $7.18 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $27.25 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 15.1% from 2021 to 2030.
Optical transceiver is a powerful, small device that can transmit as well as receive data. In optical communication and networking, data is sent via an optical fiber in the form of pulses of light. The transceiver is an important part of such network, as it is used to convert electrical signals to light signals and vice versa. Depending on the type of data to be transported as well as the speed and distance, various transceivers are available for different tasks.
Surge in data traffic due to increased internet usage acts as the prime factor that drives the growth of the optical transceiver industry. Furthermore, increase in number of data centers accelerates the optical transceiver market growth rapidly. Moreover, increase in demand for advanced network equipment due to COVID-19 pandemic, which is opportunistic for the market growth.
Increase in deployment of VoIP, LTE, and 5G networks is expected to notably contribute toward the expansion of the optical transceiver market. However, high investment associated with optical cable networking act as a major restraint of the optical transceiver market growth. On the contrary, rise in adoption of AI and IoT is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for expansion of the market during the forecast period.
