On July 18, Zhuang Dan, the Executive Director and President of YOFC, shared insights at a forum, highlighting a significant shift in global optical fiber market demand. The market is transitioning from being primarily telecom-centric to being driven by smart computing centers. Projections indicate that by 2030, the global FTTx market will experience a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.47%. In stark contrast, the smart computing center market is anticipated to surge with a remarkable CAGR of 20.74%. Zhuang Dan disclosed that YOFC has consistently held the leading market share in China for polarization-maintaining fiber over the past five years. He further predicted that, propelled by the advent of next-generation high-performance CPUs and silicon photonics components, the demand for polarization-maintaining fiber will witness an explosive growth of 10 to 20 times within the next 1-2 years.
