Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers Market size is expected to cross USD 10 Billion by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 21% during the forecast period i.e., 2023-2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers was USD 3 Billion. The primary factor projected to boost the market demand is the growing number of data centers. Around the globe, there are about 7,999 data centers. Of those, approximately 32% of the data centers are situated in the US. In data centers, multimode fiber (MMF)-based optical communications are primarily powered by vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs).
Moreover, VCSELs are utilized in optical communication technologies, similar to other lasers. They are perfect for optical communication owing to their features, which include a circular beam form, a wide free spectral range, and massive and continuous tuning. Additionally, a range of VCSEL applications, including high bandwidth, would be seen in this field since communication technologies have a promising future and must develop.

Application (Telecom, Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Medical, Industrial, Aerospace & Defense)
The consumer electronics segment in the vertical cavity surface emitting lasers market is projected to generate the highest revenue by 2035. One important sector for 3D sensing applications is consumer electronics. The primary cutting-edge technology that provides sophisticated illumination sources for optical sensing is VCSEL technology. VCSEL laser arrays are advantageous for camera autofocus and 3D sensor systems in smartphones and tablets.
Type (Multi-mode VCSEL, Single-mode VCSEL)
The multi-mode vertical cavity surface emitting lasers market is poised to have significant growth during the forecast period, due to the huge power densities that these vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers are capable of with a brief rise time. Thus, their application is becoming more widespread in LiDAR, time-of-flight (TOF), lighting, industrial, and other high-power applications. Also, owing to their small size, multimode VCSELs are perfect for use in highly integrated sensors and are preferable for mobile consumer applications.
