Global Data Center Optics Market Valued at $16.2 in 2025, Set to Grow at a 9.1% CAGR

Data center optics market was valued at $16.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $38.5 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast Period (2026-2035). The increasing demand for AI workloads and advanced computing applications is driving the need for ultrahigh-bandwidth, low-latency optical interconnects in data centers, which in turn is accelerating the adoption of optical technologies across the market. This trend is further reflected in strategic collaborations aimed at advancing optics capabilities for next-generation data center infrastructure. For instance, in March 2026, NVIDIA formed a strategic partnership with Coherent, investing $2 billion to enhance optics technology for data centers. This nonexclusive agreement includes a significant purchase commitment and access to advanced laser and optical networking products. The collaboration aims to improve ultrahigh-bandwidth, energy-efficient connectivity for AI infrastructure by combining NVIDIA's expertise in AI and networking with Coherent's optical manufacturing, facilitating R&D and manufacturing for next-gen AI data centers.
