Above 25 Gbps data rate VCSELs to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period

VCSELs operating at above 25 Gbps data rates are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing adoption of smartphones, connected devices, and IoT devices has resulted in high data traffic across the networks. Likewise, with the growing adoption of 5G network, data traffic would significantly increase, which requires advanced optical components to enable efficient data transmission across the networks. Hence, many hyperscale data center operators such as Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google are shifting toward the adoption of high-speed transceivers and AOCs, which operate at 100G, 200G, and 400G data rates. Increasing adoption of high data rate offering transceivers such as 200G and 400G transceivers in hyperscale data centers is expected to drive the growth of the above 25 Gbps VCSELs segment, as these VCSELs supports high data rate offering modules.

Consumer electronics industry to hold the largest share of VCSEL market during the forecast period

The consumer electronics industry is expected to account for the majority of the VCSEL market share during 2020–2025. In recent years, several smartphone manufacturers such as Apple (US), Samsung (South Korea), Huawei (China), Oppo (China), and Vivo (China) have implemented facial recognition technology in their smartphones, and other companies are expected to follow suit in the coming years. VCSELs are the most important components for the facial and gesture recognition technologies in smartphones. Hence, the rise in the demand for 3D sensing applications in smartphones is expected to drive the growth of the market.
