5G Optical Transceiver Market Worth $10,938.4 Million By 2030

5G Optical Transceiver Market Growth & Trends

The global 5G optical transceiver market size is expected to reach USD 10,938.4 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 29.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Optical transceivers are used as a connector to convert electrical signals to light and vice versa. They are a vital innovation based on fiber optic technology and are a crucial element of 5G infrastructure.

Post the launch of 5G in 2019, 5G networks have been commercialized globally. Additionally, the demand for high-speed networks has increased severely, driving the adoption of 5G globally. Network operators are investing heavily in deploying 5G infrastructure to cater to this increased demand, which is expected to drive the demand and growth for 5G optical transceivers over the forecast period.

Optical transceivers are connectors to transfer data from one place to another. They are a core component in 5G communication fronthaul and backhaul. Since optical transceivers can transfer data at high rates across large distances, almost hundreds of kilometers, they are a suitable choice for 5G infrastructure. Additionally, the requirement for high-speed applications such as video streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality is driving the adoption of the 5G optical transceiver industry.

However, the adoption of 5G optical transceivers directly depends on the infrastructure deployment of 5G. Currently, the 5G market is in its development stage and is using non-standalone infrastructure based on existing 4G infrastructure. As the demand for 5G increases, a standalone 5G infrastructure will be needed, which requires large investments. The significant investments required can hinder the market’s growth, but as the technology evolves, the investments are also expected to increase, driving the 5G optical transceiver market’s growth.

5G Optical Transceiver Market Report Highlights

• The 25G transceiver segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. 10G transceivers were predominantly used for 4G infrastructure. However, with the evolution of 5G, 25G transceivers are increasingly being adopted as they can support long transmission distances and high-speed data rates

• The QSFP28 form factor segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. QSFP28 form factor transceivers are ideal for high data rates up to 100 Gbps, and they provide the low latency necessary for 5G network infrastructure, driving the segment’s adoption

• The 1310nm wavelength segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. 1310nm transceivers are a common type of optical transceiver and do not cost a lot, making them broadly available, thus an ideal fit for 5G network infrastructure, driving the growth

• The more than 100 km distance segment is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. 5G networks are poised to transform how the world consumes data. 100Km transceivers are fit for 5G infrastructure as they promise stable and high-speed connection over more considerable distances, thus driving the segment’s growth

• The 5G fronthaul infrastructure segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. Optical transceivers are being deployed in 5G fronthaul to provide high data rates and lower latencies, expected to drive the segment’s growth over the forecast period

• Asia Pacific is anticipated register significant growth over the forecast period. The regional growth can be attributed to a substantial number of 5G optical transceiver providers in the region and a more extensive consumer base to cater to. Additionally, China and South Korea were some of the first countries deploying 5G. Hence the scope of growth is high for optical transceivers in the Asia Pacific market
