VCSEL for Data Communication Market Overview:
The global VCSEL for data communication market size is expected to reach $358.41 million by 2027 from $120.52 million in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 13.54% from 2020 to 2027.
A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is a semiconductor-based laser diode that emits a high-power optical laser beam vertically from its top surface. Such devices replace edge-emitting lasers (EEL), offering a wide range of applications, especially in networks. A VCSEL device operates within a wavelength of 850 nm to 1310 nm and at a transmission rate of 2.125-150 Gbps. In addition, the VCSELs combine the high power density and simple packaging of an IRED with the spectral width and speed of a laser. Unlike laser diodes, the VCSELs are much less sensitive to temperature fluctuations. The majority of the commercially available VCSELs operate at 850 nm and are designed to meet demanding specifications for high-speed data communications.
The rapid growth in the demand for wireless technologies is opening up new growth opportunities for the VCSEL in the data communication market. The advancements in wireless communication technologies, especially cellular technologies, are helping various industries to monitor their assets all over the world. These technologies enable efficient and universal communication for several applications. In process and infrastructure applications, the wireless device simplifies the process of recording data from remote stations and field devices. The speed and simplicity of installation of wireless networks have also made them popular among industries, as they can be deployed to facilitate M2M communication even under extreme environments. All these factors have contributed to the growth of the market for VCSEL for data communication, especially in highly industrialized regions.
The prominent factor that drives the VCSEL for data communication market growth includes a surge in demand for VCSELs in data centers. Data centers are the base component of the Internet infrastructure, which is used for storage, computation, and access to data. The simplest data center is a small server room, and further advanced is a high-performance computing (HPC) system; the upsurge of industry revolution 4.0, and leveraging data communications for utility operational effectiveness. Data communications infrastructure has evolved into a powerful strategic asset, which can enhance core capabilities and generate new business opportunities for the VCSEL technology. The strategic development in data communication and expansion of existing telecommunications capabilities can help power utilities improve the reliability, reduce operating costs, optimize operating efficiencies, and open new revenue streams. However, one of the major restraints is the lack of standardization between the equipment manufacturers. On the contrary, surging demand for wireless connectivity is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the VCSEL for the data communication industry during the forecast period.
Segment Overview:
