Global Data Center Cabling Market Valued at $7.2 Billion in 2025, Set to Grow at a 8.1% CAGR

Published: Mar 2026

Data center cabling market was valued at $7.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $15.6 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast Period (2026-2035). Rising investments in AI-driven hyperscale data centers are significantly increasing the need for advanced fiber-optic cabling infrastructure. As organizations expand large-scale computing facilities to support artificial intelligence, cloud services, and high-performance workloads, the need for high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity within data centers continues to grow. Modern AI environments generate massive volumes of data that must be transferred quickly between servers, storage systems, and networking equipment, making high-density optical cabling a critical component of data center architecture.

Consequently, increasing investments in hyperscale infrastructure and AI computing capacity are strengthening the demand for scalable and high-performance data center cabling solutions globally. For instance, in January 2026, Meta entered a strategic supply agreement with Corning, valued at up to $6 billion, for fibre-optic cables to support its AI data centres through 2030. This initiative aims to bolster Meta's AI infrastructure amid rising competition in hyperscale data centres. The company’s optical products are essential for enhancing data transfer and efficiency in AI computing. Anticipating increased demand from major AI hyperscalers such as Meta, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, Corning plans to expand its manufacturing facility in Hickory, North Carolina.

Increasing Investments in AI Data Centers Boosting Demand for Cabling Infrastructure

  • In December 2025, SoftBank Group announced a $4 billion acquisition of DigitalBridge Group, a major digital infrastructure investor specializing in data centers, fiber networks, and connectivity systems. The investment aims to accelerate funding for next-generation AI data centers and fiber connectivity infrastructure, which directly increases demand for advanced data center cabling systems.
  • In November 2025, Techno Digital planned to invest $1 billion to expand its data center capacity to approximately 250 MW over the next five years. The expansion is expected to drive substantial deployment of structured cabling systems, including fiber optic and high-speed copper connectivity solutions.
  • In October 2025, Google partnered with Bharti Airtel to develop a $15 billion AI-focused data center hub in Visakhapatnam, India. The project includes gigawatt-scale data center capacity and advanced fiber connectivity infrastructure, creating significant demand for high-density data center cabling systems and optical fiber networks.
