The fiber optics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.26 billion in 2023 to $7.93 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The increase during the historical period was driven by energy efficiency improvements, urban population concentration, the expansion of fiber-to-the-home networks, the proliferation of the internet, and the rise in online transactions.
The fiber optics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period will be fueled by decreased costs of fiber optic components, expanded use of fiber optics in biomedical applications, heightened interest in space exploration and satellite communication, ongoing expansion of online education and remote learning. Key trends in the forecast period include a focus on eco-friendly technologies, the expansion of electric vehicles, advancements in telemedicine, industrial automation, and the role of fiber optics in supporting digital twins.
The fiber optics market is poised for growth driven by increasing demand for high-bandwidth communication. This demand refers to the rapid transmission of large data volumes across networks, facilitating efficient information exchange. Fiber optics achieve high bandwidth communication by transmitting data as light pulses through thin glass or plastic fibers, enabling long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. For example, as of January 2023, 72% of UK premises had access to gigabit-capable broadband, up from 64% in 2022 and 36% in 2021, highlighting the market's expansion.
Leading firms in the fiber optics market are innovating with ultra-low loss (ULL) submarine optical fibers to enhance network reliability and performance. These advanced fibers are tailored for submarine communication systems spanning vast oceanic distances. Sumitomo Electric launched the 2C Z-PLUS Fiber ULL in October 2023, featuring two cores with the same exterior diameter as a standard single-core fiber, doubling transmission capacity. With a transmission loss of 0.158 dB/km at 1550 nm and minimal inter-core cross-talk, this fiber is ideal for submarine network systems, supporting regional and transoceanic applications.
In July 2023, Tempo Communications, a company specializing in communication product manufacturing based in the US, purchased Kingfisher International for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to enhance Tempo Communications' product offerings, offering customers a wider array of cutting-edge solutions for the installation, testing, and measurement of fiber optic networks. Kingfisher International, headquartered in Australia, is known for its expertise in manufacturing equipment designed for testing and measuring fiber optic systems.
