세계의 다크 파이버 시장 규모 : 유형별, 네트워크 유형별, 재료별, 최종사용자별 예측(2024-2032년)

The Dark Fiber Market is expected to register a CAGR of 12% during 2024-2032, driven by rising adoption of 5G and future-generation telecommunications networks, expansion of data center infrastructure and edge computing deployments, and growing demand for scalable and flexible networking solutions.

The proliferation of data-heavy applications such as video streaming, cloud computing, IoT, and big data analytics has led to an increase in the demand for high-speed, reliable bandwidth. For instance, according to Exploding Topics in 2023, the global Big Data and Analytics market boasts a valuation of $274 billion. Dark fiber, with its ability to provide virtually unlimited bandwidth, is increasingly preferred as a solution to address these demands. Unlike traditional fiber optic cables, dark fiber is unlit or unused fiber optic infrastructure that can be leased or owned by organizations for exclusive use. This allows businesses and service providers to have full control over their network infrastructure and scalability, enabling them to meet the bandwidth needs of data-intensive applications efficiently.

The Dark Fiber Market is classified based on type, network type, material, end-user and region.

Multi-mode segment is expected to grow rapidly till 2032, owing to their ability to transmit multiple signals simultaneously. Multi-mode dark fibers are ideally suited for short-distance communications within data centers, enterprises, and campus networks. The increasing adoption of cloud-based services and the proliferation of data centers are further driving the demand, as businesses seek to optimize their internal networking infrastructure for high-speed data transfer and low-latency communication.

Metro network segment share is poised to increase at an unprecedented pace till 2032, as they are critical for delivering high-speed connectivity to densely populated regions and business hubs. As the demand for bandwidth-intensive applications continues to rise in metropolitan areas, dark fiber networks offer an efficient and cost-effective solution for expanding capacity and improving network performance. Moreover, metro networks enable edge computing, IoT deployments, and smart city initiatives, further driving the adoption of dark fiber infrastructure.

North America dark fiber market value is anticipated to multiply over 2024 and 2032. The region's strong economic growth, coupled with its advanced telecommunications infrastructure and high internet penetration rates, has created a favorable environment for dark fiber deployment. The United States is witnessing significant investments in dark fiber networks, driven by the demand for high-speed internet access, cloud services, and digital content consumption. Furthermore, initiatives such as rural broadband expansion and government funding for broadband infrastructure projects are expected to position North America as a key growth hub for the market players.
