Data Center Interconnect Market Size, Share, & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Hardware, Software, Services), By Application (Workload And Data Mobility, Shared Data & Resources, Workload and Data Mobility), By End Use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030

Data Center Interconnect Market Growth & Trends

The global data center interconnect market size is estimated to reach USD 20.37 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 13.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The emphasis by the data center providers on latency, throughput, streamlined operations, intelligence, security, and maintenance is expected to drive the growth of the industry during the forecast period. The growing need to reduce the number of hops, and subsequently, the points of failure while routing the internet traffic is also expected to drive the demand for the market over the forecast period.

The demand for Over-The-Top (OTT) services increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and organizations opted for cloud computing and pure colocation to support remote working, thereby driving the demand for DCI solutions. However, the industry also had to confront a looming shortage of DCI hardware as production activities at various manufacturing facilities across Taiwan, China, Mexico, Malaysia, and the U.S. were suspended temporarily. North America dominated the industry in 2021 and accounted for the maximum revenue share.

North America is home to several leading telecommunications companies, well-established suppliers, and incumbents of various end-use industries and industry verticals. Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. Implementation of optical transportation networking equipment in data centers and the continued rollout of long-haul and metro networks are expected to contribute to the growth of the APAC regional market.
