Market Research Center announces global data-center optical chip market study for 2026–2032

Market Research Center, based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced the publication of “Global Optical Chip for Data Center Market 2026–2032,” a paid research report on optical chips used in data-center infrastructure.

The study covers an assessment of aggregate global sales in 2025 and forecasts sales from 2026 through 2032, with regional and segment-level coverage. It divides the market by chip technology—DFB, EML and VCSEL—and by application in large data centers and small and medium-sized data centers.

The report profiles Lumentum, Coherent (II-VI), Mitsubishi Electric, Broadcom, Sumitomo, NTT Electronics and Source Photonics. Their inclusion indicates that they are covered in the study; it does not establish market share, supply agreements, shipments or involvement in any specific data-center project.

For operators, investors and infrastructure suppliers, the announcement points to the increasing commercial focus on optical interconnect components as a distinct part of the data-center supply chain. However, the public announcement does not disclose the size of the data-center optical-chip market, its CAGR, forecast revenue or company-level competitive positions. As a result, the release alone cannot be used to quantify growth, market value or supplier share in this segment.

The announcement also references figures for the broader semiconductor market, but those metrics are not explicitly presented as estimates for data-center optical chips and should not be applied to this narrower segment.
