MARKET OUTLOOK

Triton Market Research’s report suggests that the global photonics market is estimated to exhibit a CAGR of 8.15% during the forecasted period of 2021-2028. 

One of the major factors motivating the growth of the studied market is the growing investments in the photonics industry. Several companies and institutions have increased their funding for the R&D of silicon photonics technology. Moreover, major companies like Intel and IBM, along with government organizations, are actively investing in silicon photonics devices. 

Additionally, the rising penetration of smartphones and growing internet connectivity is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the photonics market. However, cost restraints, coupled with strict government and environmental rules, challenge the global market’s future growth. 

REGIONAL OUTLOOK

The global photonics market covers North America, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. 

Globally, the Asia-Pacific is likely to witness the fastest growth rate in the photonics market. This growth is owing to the high demand for construction, mainly in China, and the rising affordability of photonics technology across the region.
