According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Optical Communication and Networking Market is accounted for $34.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $64.0 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period. Optical communication and networking involve the transmission of information using light signals through optical fibers or free space. In optical communication, data is encoded into light pulses, which are then transmitted through optical fibers or sent wirelessly through the atmosphere. It is the infrastructure and protocols used to facilitate the transmission, routing, and switching of optical signals within a network. 

According to a survey by the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association (AFCEA), 76% of corporate data centers worry about data security. 

Market Dynamics: 

Driver:
