The optical transceiver is also known as a fiber optic transceiver, an interconnect component used to transmit and receive data. Optical transceiver leverages fiber optic technology to convert electrical signals to light and vice versa. Optical transceivers are a crucial component in 5G infrastructure’s fronthaul, backhaul, and midhaul. The growing demand for 5G is expected to drive the deployment of 5G optical transceivers in 5G infrastructure, thereby driving the market’s growth.

Optical transceivers are a core component of optical communication. In 5G communication, fiber optics transport 5G signals to and from the carrier’s wide area networks. According to research published by IEEE Communications Society, optical transceivers are essential components of 5G fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul, and their costs account for around 50% to 70% of the total 5G network costs.

The demand for 5G is expected to rise significantly over the forecast period driving the demand for 5g optical transceivers. Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson’s ‘Mobility Report’ predicts that 5G subscriptions will reach 5 billion by 2028. The growing demand for 5G infrastructure is expected to propel the 5G optical transceiver industry’s growth.

With the continuous roll-out of 5G, consumer expectations are shifting to high data rates. Telecom suppliers and 5G providers are focusing on increasingly moving towards the 800 Gbps optical ecosystem to keep pace with massive growth in data requirements and shifting consumer demand.

Additionally, 5G providers are looking for infrastructure components to help them achieve high bandwidth data transmission while keeping low costs and power consumption. To address these criteria, the optical transceiver market is looking to leverage Silicon-Photonic technology, which is expected to play a crucial role in driving the adoption of 5G optical transceivers over the forecast period.

Telecommunication providers are increasingly adopting 5G optical transceivers to support their 5G roll-outs. For instance, in October 2022, SoftBank Corp., a Japanese telecommunication service provider, announced that it would deploy Cisco QSFP ZR4 pluggable optical transceivers to support its 4G/5G, broadband, and enterprise services.

By leveraging these optical transceivers, SoftBank Corp. aims to reduce power consumption and carbon footprint, providing faster connectivity. The ability of 5G optical transceivers to provide higher network efficiency and high reliability and its ability to consume less rack space and low power consumption is contributing to operational efficiency and sustainability, thus driving the market demand.

As of December 2022, 5G networks are being deployed only in parts of the world, and many countries across the globe are still majorly using 4G and even 3G networks, which can hinder the adoption of 5G optical transceivers. However, the demand for 5G networks is expected to increase over the forecast period, which comes with its own operational complexities.

As the demand for 5G increases, building standalone 5G infrastructure will become necessary. Building and maintaining 5G standalone infrastructure can be expensive and require significant investments in equipment. Hence, the growth of the 5G optical transceiver market depends on significant investments made by key market players in deploying 5G infrastructure.
