According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Optical Communication and Networking Market is accounted for $21.91 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $46.66 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. Optical communication is a type of communication which uses light for the transmission of the signal to the remote end, instead of electrical current. Optical networking is a means of communication that makes use of signals encoded onto light to broadcast information among various nodes of a telecommunications network.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising Demand in IT and Telecom Sector
The growing demand for cloud data centers across the countries is one of the major factors driving the market growth. The telecom sector massively adopts the optical fiber owing to increasing cellular internet penetration to handle the load on telecom providers. The growing BYOD trend across IT companies is supporting the demand for optical communication and networking components. The optical communication and networking market is widely used in the telecommunication sector. The increasing acceptance of optical fiber networks across data centers for managing massive data traffic is driving market progression across the IT & telecom sectors. One of the major reasons for the boost in the market of optical communication and networking in the telecommunication sector is the ongoing demands by telecom industries such as large quantities of data transmission, high bandwidth, quick transmission, and others. These demands boost the developments of optical networking market players so that they can provide additional features such as low capital and operational costs.
Restraint:
High Installation cost
The high installation cost of optical fiber cables is one of the major restraints faced by the market globally. Upsurges in end users' demand and machine-to-machine network traffic are creating big challenges for optical communications to continue working at a large scale cost-effectively. Meeting those demands of the end-users requires new technological advancements to form an optical networking system working parallel with the current technology at an affordable installation cost. An ongoing demand to achieve a goal of Next-Generation Network (NGN) needs high installation costs.
Opportunity:
Increase in Industrialization and Technology Innovation
Fast-growing economies in countries are contributing considerably to the optical communication and networking market. An increase in automation in these economies tends to elevate the network traffic which is predictable to grow exponentially in the forecast period. With the developing technology advancements, such as cloud services, video streaming, 4G/5G mobile technologies, and the Internet of Things, the pressure on the core network is multiplied. With recent advancements, such as silicon photonic integration and spatial-division multiplexing (SDM), optical communications and networking technologies demonstrated great success in supporting the growth of data center networks. Furthermore, the implementation of software-defined networking (SDN) is making optical communication networks comprising both fiber optic systems and optical wireless systems more agile, programmable, and offers flexible service solutions. These developments enhance the growth and create ample opportunities for the Market.
Threat:
Increased Network Complexity
The rapid adoption of digital transformation (DX) makes both network and security more complex. The increased complexity ratchets up vulnerabilities as a result. Many aspects of networking are continuously growing, the number of features, the length of routing table configurations, firewall configurations, etc. The entire system is growing which makes it difficult for network operators to understand and manage the entire network they are responsible for. Many operators only fully understand the parts of the network that they specialize in. Increasing complexity makes network behavior unpredictable, which is a bad thing in networking (and other systems). Look, for example, at filtering lists: the more complex the lists, rules, and exceptions, the more difficult it is to understand all the filtering rules. That makes it hard to predict the effects of changes.
Optical transceivers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The growth can be attributed to the introduction and adoption of new applications such as wearable devices, IoT, and cloud computing owing to the change in consumer needs. The increasing internet penetration and data traffic are leading to the rapid growth of data centers, along with the need for high transmission networks driving the acceptance of the optical transceivers segment.
The data centre segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The data center segment is estimated to witness the highest CAGR for the forecast period. The factors can be attributed to the increasing adoption of cloud computing as a mainstream deployment option and growing demand for high-speed internet by the users of smartphones and other connected devices along with a rapid increase in internet traffic in mega data centers. This has fostered the acceptance of the data center segment.
Region with highest share:
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, due to the rising acceptance of smartphones, a growing number of internet users, the rising demand for connectivity, growing focus on improving existing networks and establishing new connectivity networks, and increasing bandwidth-intensive applications, such as video-on-demand services, and availability of government funding will boost the market in APAC region. These are some of the few factors that drive the growth of the market in this province.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR, due to the upsurge in the number of internet users is enabling the rise of data traffic across the country. The growing data traffic is enabling the need for data storage services, making data centers upgrade their network infrastructure. The growing demand for IoT devices across the country is another factor supporting the industry growth. The leading data centers of Facebook, Google, and AWS located in the U.S. are making it the most lucrative market for optical communication and networking. The growing demand for the commercialization of the 5G network is also supporting regional growth. The government authorities in the U.S. are focusing on strategic initiatives for the early acceptance of 5G services.
