Optical Amplifier Market - Regional Analysis

North America Market Insights

The North America optical amplifier market is anticipated to hold 34.1% of the global revenue share by 2037. The rising federal investments in broadband and 5G infrastructure are directly boosting the demand for advanced optical amplifiers. In addition, the supportive government policies and programs are set to propel the sales of optical amplifiers in the years ahead. The U.S.’s spending under NTIA’s BEAD program and Canada's Universal Broadband Fund continues to stimulate optical transmission infrastructure. The public-private partnerships and increasing data backhaul needs across smart city and IoT projects are further expected to double the revenues of optical amplifier companies.

The massive federal and private investments in ICT infrastructure are set to boost the demand for optical amplifiers in the U.S. The 5G network expansion is also contributing to the increasing sales of optical amplifiers. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) reveals that USD 65.5 billion was committed under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), with a major share allocated to high-speed fiber networks.  Furthermore, the rise of hyperscale data centers is pushing amplifier demand in backbone networks.

The nationwide broadband strategies and digital equity programs are promoting the sales of optical amplifiers in Canada. The government has committed more than CAD 3.3 billion toward the Universal Broadband Fund, targeting rural and Indigenous communities. The robust expansion of wireless connectivity networks is increasing the application of advanced optical amplifiers. The cross-border collaborations with U.S.-based data centers and the deployment of submarine cables requiring long-haul amplification technologies are further set to augment the trade of optical amplifiers in the country.

Europe Market Insights

The Europe optical amplifier market is estimated to capture 22.2% of the global revenue share throughout the study period due to increasing investments in optical fiber and 5G transport networks.
