Optical Transceiver Market Size & Trends | Mordor Intelligence
Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the Optical Transceiver Market, offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.
Optical Transceiver Market Overview
The global optical transceiver market is projected to grow from USD 13.57 billion in 2025 to USD 25.74 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 13.66% during the forecast period (2025-2030). The rise of cloud services, high-bandwidth applications, and expansion of 5G networks are expected to significantly influence market demand.
The growing reliance on high-speed internet and increasing global data traffic are placing new demands on network infrastructure. Optical transceivers, as key enablers of fiber optic communication, are now essential components for telecom operators, hyperscale data centers, and enterprise networks alike.
As businesses continue to adopt cloud computing, artificial intelligence workloads, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the need for fast, scalable, and reliable network connections has never been greater. Optical transceivers, which convert electrical signals into optical ones and vice versa, support these functions by allowing efficient data transmission over long distances with minimal latency and signal loss.

Optical Transceiver Market Key Trends
Expansion of Data Centers Driving Demand
The growth of hyperscale and edge data centers is one of the primary factors boosting the demand for optical transceivers. Organizations across the globe are increasing their investments in data infrastructure to support cloud computing, AI workloads, and streaming services. These facilities require high-speed interconnects and low-latency networks, which optical transceivers help enable through efficient and long-distance data transmission.
5G Network Rollout Requires High-Performance Optical Links
As telecom operators continue to roll out 5G infrastructure, the need for optical transceivers in front-haul, mid-haul, and back-haul network segments is growing. Optical modules are vital in ensuring low latency, high bandwidth, and reliable connections between 5G base stations and the core network. This trend is particularly strong in regions like Asia-Pacific and North America, where 5G deployments are rapidly scaling.
Shift Toward Higher Data Rates
There is a growing move from 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps modules toward higher-speed optical transceivers, especially those supporting 100 Gbps, 200 Gbps, and 400 Gbps speeds. This shift is being driven by applications that require greater bandwidth, such as real-time video streaming, AI processing, and cloud-based services. High-speed transceivers are becoming standard in large-scale networks due to their ability to handle larger volumes of data more efficiently.
Rising Adoption of DWDM and CWDM Technologies
To maximize the capacity of existing fiber networks, many network operators are turning to Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technologies. These methods allow multiple data streams to be sent over a single optical fiber, significantly increasing bandwidth without the need for new infrastructure. Optical transceivers compatible with DWDM and CWDM are seeing increased adoption across telecom and enterprise networks.
Miniaturization and Form Factor Optimization
There is increasing demand for compact and energy-efficient transceivers that can be densely packed into switches and routers. Form factors like QSFP28, QSFP-DD, and OSFP are gaining popularity as they support high data rates while maintaining a small footprint. This trend supports the growing need for space-saving designs in high-performance computing and cloud environments.
