According to our latest study on “VCSEL Market Forecast to 2030 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by Type, Material, Data rate, wavelength, Application, and End-use Industry” the market size is projected to grow from US$ 1,361.70 million in 2022 to US$ 4,663.54 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 17.0% from 2023 to 2030.

Emerging Telecommunication Industry Boosting VCSEL Market Growth

Demand for high-speed internet and better connectivity of devices is rising. Therefore, small and large enterprises are digitalizing their businesses to increase output and simplify processes and workflow. Governments of several countries are investing in strengthening their telecom sector to fulfill the rise in demand for better connectivity. In December 2021, the US president announced an investment of US$ 1.2 trillion under the infrastructure package. A large portion of this package was used to boost the broadband infrastructure and affordability initiatives. This package was also focused on remodeling its aging infrastructure.

Moreover, there is a rise in the telecom industry in the developing economies. According to Invest India, the telephone connection increased by 25.42% in October 2022 compared to March 2014. In addition, internet connections grew by 232% in June 2022 compared to March 2014. Thus, a rise in the telecom industry leads to the increasing use of fiber optics cables for optical communications. VCSEL is widely used as a light-emitting device in data transmissions via fiber optics cables. It offers high modulation speeds, beam quality, and energy efficiency, leading to surging demand for optical communications. Therefore, the emerging telecommunication industry is fuelling the VCSEL market growth.

In many European countries, owing to the outbreak of the newest strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19), isolation, lockdown, and social distancing measures have been put in place. Workers in countries with a high risk of infection were forced to work from home due to the lockdown and shutdown of public places. The people were avoiding public and crowded places. The major markets in the UK, Germany, and France assured the customers that there was enough supply, and stores were instituting special shopping hours for elderly and vulnerable populations. According to a EUROSTAT study, in the EU, 64% of internet users aged 16–74 years shopped online in 2020, with Denmark having the highest share (89%). The increase in online retailers to relay on barcode scanning to track and manage the inventory. Thus, the rise in online shopping creates demand for the VCSEL market in the European region.

APAC is hugely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic owing to a massive number of cases in China. China is the most crucial manufacturer and industrial producer since it trades more manufacturing goods than any other country across the world. Since the COVID-19 outbreak across APAC, several countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have incurred huge losses. The manufacturing sectors in the countries mentioned above have reported low production and a weak supply chain. The decreased in the production of manufacturing leads to the least use of 3D printing, optical sensing, fabrication, and others this lower down the use of VCSEL and hence the demand for the VCSEL market growth have negatively impacted in the COVID-19 outbreak.

Key Findings of Study:

In terms of Wavelength, the VCSEL market is categorized into Red , Near Infrared (NIR), Short Wave Infrared (SWIR). In terms of Application, the VCSEL market is categorized into sensing, data communication, industrial heating & printing, and other. In terms of End-use Industry, the VCSEL market is categorized into mobile & consumer, telecom & infrastructure, industrial, defense & aerospace, medical, and automotive & mobility. By region, the VCSEL market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America.

Based on end user, the VCSEL market has been segmented into Gallium Arsenide (GAAS), Indium Phosphide (INP), and Others. The Gallium Arsenide (GAAS) segment dominated the VCSEL market in 2022 and is expected to continue its dominance until 2030. Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is a crucial semiconductor material. It has superior electronic properties than silicon. It poses a higher saturated electron velocity and electron mobility, allowing the gallium arsenide transistors to function at higher frequencies. In addition, GaAs has a wider energy band gap, making them insensitive to overheating and generating less noise in electronic circuits than silicon. These superior qualities of GaAs make it an ideal solution for its application in mobile phones, data communications, etc. Therefore, owing to these benefits, GaAs-based VCSELs are widely used in next-generation sensing applications such as automotive LiDAR tailored heating, depth sensing, gesture recognition, and atomic clock, propelling the segment growth.
