Over Five Million Coherent Transceivers to Ship in Five Years

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, forecast coherent optical transceiver shipments to grow at a double-digit compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the next five years, surpassing well over five million in cumulative shipments. Additionally, vendors' advancements in smaller, energy-efficient coherent transceivers are rapidly broadening their platform compatibility and application diversity. We currently project that, over the next five years, nearly half of the coherent transceivers will ship on routers and ethernet switches.

"The move to pluggable coherent transceivers is occurring at a rapid pace," stated Jimmy Yu, Vice President for Optical Transport market research at Dell'Oro Group. "This movement accelerated with the wide availability of ZR/ZR+ optics and, more importantly, the adoption of an IPoDWDM architecture," added Yu.

"Today's largest AI clusters built by hyperscalers, are already approaching 100 thousand accelerators, with projections reaching up to one million in the near future," stated Sameh Boujelbene, Vice President for Ethernet Switch market research at Dell'Oro Group. "Due to the limited power capacity in each data center—and the high-power consumption of these accelerators—AI clusters are increasingly distributed across multiple data centers. This shift heightens the importance of Data Center Interconnect technologies that connect these data centers efficiently," added Boujelbene.
