Is AI Optical Market Heading for a “Soft Landing” in 2027?
The AI optical transceiver market is set to double in 2024, with strong growth continuing through 2026. However, a “soft landing” is expected by 2027, with potential market decline afterward. Demand for 4x100G and 8x100G transceivers is currently exceeding supply, with sales peaking by 2026. Looking ahead, advanced transceivers like 1.6T and 3.2T will dominate by 2029, contributing to a $10 billion market.
