AI has been a huge catalyst for the adoption of connectivity in networks.
Already, operators are deploying AI data centers with over 200,000 GPUs—and they’re moving even faster towards 1 million XPUs. Driven by the increase in bandwidth and the growing size and number of clusters needed for AI applications, we are in a massive growth market for interconnect solutions. Accordingly, the optical interconnect global market has doubled since 2020 to nearly 20 billion dollars in 2025, and it is expected to double again by 2030, with an industry CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of about 18%.1
