The pluggable optics for data center market size was valued at US$ 5.23 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 12.35 billion by 2031. The pluggable optics for data center market is estimated to record a CAGR of 11.3% from 2023 to 2031.

The usage of AI is quickly increasing, and data center and cloud service providers prioritize developing and deploying high-speed, high-bandwidth optical interconnects. The development of new-generation connectivity solutions results in reduced mW/Gbps and dollar/Gbps and increased power usage. Linear pluggable optics (LPO) links leverage the power of a unique Linear Drive architecture. This drives innovation in power, latency, and cost. LPO links can significantly reduce module power consumption, maintain performance, and lower cooling costs when compared to standard Digital Signal Processing (DSP)-based solutions. Moreover, LPO links greatly decrease the latency and allow faster data transmission times during AI model training and inference, which is crucial for improving AI performance.

Businesses across the globe are swapping DSP-based solutions to LPO links, which significantly results in cost savings and lower power consumption. This also supports businesses to reduce capital investment and operational costs. Additionally, market players are collaborating and demonstrating their products to create awareness of pluggable optics in high-performance AI infrastructure.

An increase in investment by IT companies and the growing adoption of advanced technologies in data centers are contributing significantly to the pluggable optics for data center market growth in France. For instance, in May 2024, Microsoft Corp announced an investment of US$ 4.31 billion (4 billion) to enhance its next-generation cloud and AI infrastructure in France, which is likely to bring up to 25,000 of the most advanced GPUs to the country by the end of 2025. This investment also supports Microsoft to extend its data center footprint across current facilities in Paris and Marseille, as well as invest in the development of a new data center campus in the Grand Est Region, Mulhouse Alsace Agglom?ration. Thus, the development of new data centers creates a prominent demand for pluggable optics managing high-bandwidth connections.
