Global Coherent Optical Interconnect Market Valued at $4.3 Billion in 2025, Set to Grow at a 14.3% CAGR

Coherent optical interconnect market was valued at $16.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $48.8 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast Period (2026-2035). Expansion of AI and cloud workloads is driving demand for high-speed, low-latency optical interconnects, resulting in greater deployment of coherent optical solutions in data centers and fostering market growth. For instance, in March 2026, Coherent strengthened its partnership with NVIDIA through a multi-year collaboration focused on advanced optics for AI data center infrastructure. This partnership includes NVIDIA's $2 billion investment and significant purchase commitments for Coherent products, aiming to enhance optical interconnects and domestic manufacturing to address data center scaling challenges. Future initiatives will focus on executing the partnership, increasing manufacturing capacity, and converting AI optics demand into sustainable revenue for Coherent.

Funding Secured to Advance Next-Generation Coherent Optical Interconnects in Data Centers

• In December 2025, Lucidean raised $18 million in Seed funding from Entrada Ventures and Koch Disruptive Technologies for its CohZero platform, aimed at enhancing coherent optical links in data centers. This funding will support R&D to validate and expedite product development. The CohZero architecture addresses conventional optical link constraints, enabling efficient coherent interconnects that are compatible with existing IMDD ecosystems, thus enhancing data rates and minimizing the need for expensive, power-hungry equipment, allowing hyperscalers to achieve multi-terabit coherent performance without extensive redesigns.
