Optical interconnect is a means of communication by optical fiber cables.Compared to traditional cables, optical fibers are capable of a much higher bandwidth, from 10 Gbit/s up to 100 Gbit/s.

Scope of the Report:
This report studies the Optical Interconnect market status and outlook of Global and major regions, from angles of players, countries, product types and end industries; this report analyzes the top players in global market, and splits the Optical Interconnect market by product type and applications/end industries.
Electrical interconnects performance degrades at frequencies above 1 GHz due to ringing, increased signal latency, crosstalk and frequency dependent attenuation. These limitations of electrical interconnects will limit the maximum frequency of operation for future systems; Optical interconnect is seen as a potential solution since it can directly address these problems at the system level and meet the performance requirements of current and future generation of data processors, optical interconnects have negligible frequency dependent loss, low cross talk and high band width.
The global Optical Interconnect market is valued at xx million USD in 2017 and is expected to reach xx million USD by the end of 2023, growing at a CAGR of xx% between 2017 and 2023.
The Asia-Pacific will occupy for more market share in following years, especially in China, also fast growing India and Southeast Asia regions.
North America, especially The United States, will still play an important role which cannot be ignored. Any changes from United States might affect the development trend of Optical Interconnect.
Europe also play important roles in global market, with market size of xx million USD in 2017 and will be xx million USD in 2023, with a CAGR of xx%.
