The rising demand for the internet is expected to drive the fiber optic components market. The internet refers to a globally connected network system that enables communication and access to data resources. Internet demand is increasing due to the rapid growth of digital services and the expansion of online connectivity in everyday life. Fiber optic technology forms the backbone of the internet, serving as the medium that transmits larger amounts of information at faster speeds over long distances. For example, in November 2024, according to a report released by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a Switzerland-based specialized UN agency, a total of 5.5 billion people were online in 2024. This represents 68 percent of the global population, compared with 65 percent in 2023. The year-on-year growth rate has also risen, from 2.7 percent the previous year to 3.4 percent in 2024. Therefore, the rising demand for the internet is fueling the fiber optic components market.

Leading players operating in the fiber optic component market are concentrating on creating new technological advancements such as photonics analyzers. A photonics analyzer is an optical instrument used to study and measure light waves and optical components. For instance, in February 2023, Santec, a Japan-based manufacturer of advanced optical components, tunable lasers, optical test equipment, and OCT systems, launched the Swept Photonics Analyzer (SPA-100). The unique features of the SPA-100 include the use of optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technology to test tiny fiber optic and photonic devices for insertion and return loss with a spatial resolution greater than 5 µm. This makes the technology ideal for evaluating small devices such as silicon photonic circuits, fiber optic components, and compact fiber optic assemblies.

In November 2023, Lumentum, a US-based provider of optical and photonic products and subsystems, acquired Cloud Light for $750 million. This acquisition enhances Lumentum’s capabilities in high-speed optical transceivers and photonic components for data centers and AI infrastructure, expands its portfolio with 400G and 800G optical modules, and strengthens its position as a leading provider of fiber-optic components and network interconnect solutions. Cloud Light is a China-based provider of high-speed optical transceivers, active optical cables, and fiber-optic modules used in data center interconnects and optical communication networks.
