The global silicon photonics market size is expected to reach USD 16,866.53 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Silicon Photonics Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product; By Component (Lasers, Modulators, and Photo Detectors); By Waveguide; By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The global market for silicon photonics is expected to experience significant growth driven by factors such as the increasing adoption of automated manufacturing practices and continuous technological advancements. The wide range of applications in sectors like medical & life sciences, military, telecommunication, and data centers is anticipated to drive global demand. Pressing needs for bandwidth, virtualization, fast-growing internet traffic, and cloud computing are also contributing to the growth of the silicon photonics market.

However, the outbreak of COVID-19 has had a negative impact on the market. Disruptions in component supply and the global manufacturing industry, coupled with reduced consumer spending during the pandemic, have resulted in a decline in demand. While internet usage has increased due to remote working, the surge in digital services has led to cost-cutting measures and employee layoffs, affecting the sale of networking components, including silicon photonics. The deployment of 5G networks, a major application for silicon photonics, has also been delayed due to the pandemic.

Nevertheless, as lockdown restrictions ease and the global situation improves, the demand for the silicon photonics market is expected to rebound in the coming years. The implementation of 5G technology and the increasing penetration of IoT, smartphones, and AI-powered devices will drive demand. Additionally, data centers and high-performance computing are anticipated to be the fastest-growing applications for silicon photonics. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the market is poised for growth as economies recover and technology adoption accelerates.
