Optical Waveguide Market size to surpass $15 Bn by 2032

  • Published Date: March 15, 2023

Optical Waveguide Market size is anticipated to reach more than USD 15 billion in revenue by 2032, according to a recent research report announced by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

One of the main factors impelling the optical waveguide business is the mounting utilization of electronic gadgets. The rapid amount of data flow has presented increased data traffic, which has proliferated the need for optical waveguides in high bandwidth applications including the prevalent smart devices. This is necessitating faster and higher bandwidth connections, such as FFTN, FTTH, and FTTC that carry data using optical fiber lines.
 

Long-distance coverage to accelerate single-mode waveguide segment growth

With respect to mode structure, the single mode segment was valued at over USD 1 billion in 2022. The soaring popularity of optical networks, global uptake of 5G connectivity, and notable innovations in network infrastructure are projected to propel segment uptake. Furthermore, its growing telecom networking applications due to faster and farther signal transmission in comparison to multi-mode waveguides is also driving product adoption. In a recent study, single-mode propagation for silicon insulator waveguide showcased a range of 1.95 µm.
 

Affordability and efficient bandwidth to increase step-index fiber industry share

In 2022, the step-index fiber segment held more than 40% share of the optical waveguide market propelled by several benefits, including easy manufacturing, low price, and less attenuation of these waveguides. It also has a larger bandwidth and can efficiently run over a longer distance without repeaters. In addition, positive traction from the aerospace & defense sector due to its effective data transmission and affordability is fueling the business expansion.
