It will grow from $1.84 billion in 2024 to $2.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing deployment of multi-gigabit internet services, the expanding smart city initiatives, the rising consumption of streaming and cloud-based services, the growing requirement for scalable network solutions, and the increasing need for digital transformation.

The cable 10 global passive optical network (GPON) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.86 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for ultra-high-speed broadband connectivity, increasing investments in next-generation optical network infrastructure, growing focus on energy-efficient and sustainable networking solutions, and the rising need for efficient data traffic management in telecommunications. Major trends during the forecast period include advancements in passive optical network architectures, development of software-defined networking (SDN) integration, innovation in energy-efficient optical equipment, progress in multi-gigabit service delivery, and collaboration between telecom operators and equipment vendors.

The increasing demand for higher bandwidth and faster internet is expected to propel the growth of the cable 10 global passive optical network (GPON) market going forward. This demand is driven by the growing use of high-definition video streaming, which requires faster data transfer and low latency. Cable 10 global passive optical network (GPON) supports this by delivering large amounts of data over fiber-optic networks with low latency, enabling gigabit speeds for smooth streaming and quick downloads. For example, in September 2023, the UK’s median download speed for home broadband reached 69.4 Mbit/s, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 10.1 Mbit/s or 17%. Therefore, the surge in demand for higher bandwidth and faster internet speeds is driving the market growth.

Major companies in the cable 10 GPON market are focusing on advancing 10-gigabit symmetrical passive optical network (XGS-PON) technology to meet increasing bandwidth needs, support ultra-fast internet speeds, and enable seamless next-generation services. XGS-PON delivers 10 Gbit/s both upstream and downstream, facilitating high-bandwidth applications such as 4K/8K streaming, cloud services, and enterprise connectivity. For instance, in September 2024, Commsworld Ltd., a UK telecommunications provider, launched an Ethernet over Fibre to the Premises (EoFTTP) service delivering symmetrical 1 Gbps connectivity for business customers, using Ciena’s XGS-PON technology. This service offers guaranteed bandwidth and repair times comparable to leased lines but at a more affordable price, especially targeting underserved rural areas.

In November 2022, Ciena Corporation, a US networking systems provider, acquired TiBiT Communications Inc. for $210 million to strengthen its fiber broadband access solutions. The acquisition allows Ciena to integrate TiBiT’s pluggable Optical Line Terminal (OLT) technology, enabling more scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient GPON and XGS-PON deployments. TiBiT Communications is known for open, micro-pluggable OLT technologies, including 10G XGS-PON solutions with future scalability to 25G and beyond.

Major players in the cable 10 global passive optical network (GPON) market are Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Cisco Systems Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Broadcom Inc., Fujitsu Limited, NEC Corporation, Nokia Corporation, ZTE Corporation, Juniper Networks, FiberHome Technologies Group, Ciena Corporation, Sercomm Corporation, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Calix Inc., ADTRAN Inc., Edgecore Networks Corporation, Tellabs Inc., Harmonic Inc., Zyxel Communications, Iskratel d.o.o., Dasan Zhone Solutions Inc., and UTStarcom Holdings Corp.

North America was the largest region in the cable 10 global passive optical network (GPON) market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in cable 10 global passive optical network (GPON) report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
