The global fiber optics market size was valued at USD 8.76 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% from 2023 to 2030.
Fiber optics technology is modern-day innovation that has evolved owing to rigorous studies conducted by researchers and scientists worldwide through extensive R&D. Several connector manufacturers are expanding their product lines to connect fiber optic channels that are highly protected and precisely aligned. For instance, in for instance, in December 2022, Microsoft acquired Lumenisity Limited, a fiber optic products supplier in England. This acquisition aims to strengthen Microsoft's ability to enhance its global cloud infrastructure and meet the strict latency and security requirements of Microsoft's Cloud Platform and Services customers.
The combined efforts of businesses to innovate fiber networks to reduce operations and maintenance (O&M) and optical distribution network (ODN) construction and costs will have a significant impact on market during projected period. Moreover, increased government initiatives for fiber optic cable deployment are contributed to market growth.
For instance, in July 2022, Government of India announced a merger of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd, a telecommunications company, and Bharat Broadband Network Ltd, a broadband company to construct country’s largest optic fiber cable (OFC) network. Through this merger, BSNL will gain complete control of BBNL's 5.67 lakh km of optical fiber spread across the country.

Fiber Optics Market Report Highlights
• Governments of developed countries such as the U.S., U.K., Germany, China, Japan, and others are heavily investing in enhancing their security infrastructures on individual levels and country levels. This is eventually necessitating increasing funding for technologies, prominently across the fiber optics that would improve the telecommunication sector infrastructure with better security measures. Therefore, government funding for infrastructure is driving the market.
• The Plastic Optical Fiber segment is projected to attain a CAGR of 9.1% over the forecast period. POF differs from its single and multimode counterparts based on the core materials used in POF cable construction. While single and multimode fiber optics have a glass core, POF cables have a polymer core. This offers a dynamic application portfolio along with cost savings.
• Market participants are diversifying their product portfolio through their innovative offerings. For instance, in March 2022, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., a manufacturer of waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex fabrics, released GORE Fiber Optic Cables with high impact resistance to aggressive chemicals abrasion, scrapes, and undesirable fluids that aircraft typically experience during maintenance activities and complex installation.
