Agency: VCSEL Market Demand Projected to Reach 650 Million Units by 2031

36Kr reports that TrendForce's latest '2027 Infrared Sensing and Optical Communication Market Trends' indicates that, driven by rapidly growing Scale-Up (vertical expansion) network transmission needs within data centers, VCSEL NPOs are gaining attention due to their low power consumption, high maintenance flexibility, and relatively mature supply chains, prompting major manufacturers to invest in R&D. Starting in 2027-2028, numerous VCSEL NPO solutions will emerge, combined with demand for short-range optical transceiver modules; market analysts project total VCSEL demand to reach 650 million units by 2031, representing a compound annual growth rate of 38% between 2025 and 2031.
