光收發器是現代數位基礎設施的基礎元件。這些緊湊型模組能夠將電訊號轉換為光訊號,反之亦然,從而實現網際網路、雲端運算和人工智慧賴以生存的高速資料傳輸。截至2026年,全球光收發器市場已成為光電產業中最具戰略意義的領域之一,並將在未來十年迎來規模和結構上的重大變革。

重塑市場的主導力量是人工智慧 (AI)。 AI 資料中心的擴張為頻寬成長注入了新的動力,此前頻寬成長一直呈漸進式成長,由此推動了對最高速度收發器(800G 和 1.6T 模組)的需求,其規模之大前所未有。 AI叢集需要消耗大量的光模組來連接網路架構中的數千個加速器,實現縱向、橫向和橫向擴展,而超大規模資料中心業者對此基礎設施的投資也在激增。因此,預計從 2026 年到 2036 年,市場規模將成長一倍以上,其中資料通訊通訊(以及其中的 AI 網路領域)將成為成長最快的需求來源。

這一顯著成長是由四項並行的結構性變革所驅動的。首先,是從電吸收調製雷射到矽光電的轉變。矽光電在資料通訊貨量中的佔有率已從約四分之一成長到三分之二,其在總銷售額中的佔比也在不斷提高。其次,通訊速度不斷提升,從800G到1.6T,再到3.2T。第三,共封裝光學元件的逐步興起,它將光引擎直接整合到用於交換器的矽晶圓上,從而克服了插件模組在功率和密度方面的限制。第四,需求從通訊領域擴展到接取網路、無線通訊、車載LiDAR、光計算和量子應用等領域。

另一方面,市場也面臨許多現實限制因素。元件供應,尤其是磷化銦(InP)雷射的供應,限制了高頻寬收發器的生產速度;電力、冷卻和資金的保障也影響部署進度。競爭日趨激烈,垂直整合模式逐漸成為致勝法寶,而產業重組和新參與企業的湧現也不斷重塑競爭格局。因此,2026年至2036年的光收發器市場將是一個充滿機會、結構性變革和策略複雜性的市場。

《全球光收發器市場(2026-2036)》報告對2026年至2036年預測期間的全球光收發器市場進行了全面分析,結合了技術評估、詳細的市場預測和競爭分析。本報告概述了光收發器的技術特性(功能、關鍵組件、收發器類型、外形尺寸和封裝),並分析了影響預測期內市場發展的促進因素、限制因素和趨勢。詳細的技術分析涵蓋了從10G到3.2T的資料通訊藍圖、DSP和通道速度的演進、新興的調製器技術和矽光電、通訊和連貫技術藍圖、人工智慧資料中心網路架構以及共封裝光元件和下一代外形尺寸。

第24章 參考文獻

The optical transceiver is the fundamental building block of modern digital infrastructure - a compact module that converts electrical signals into light and back, enabling the high-speed data transmission on which the internet, cloud computing and artificial intelligence depend. As of 2026 the global optical transceiver market stands as one of the most strategically important segments of the photonics industry, and it is entering a decade of transformation in both scale and structure.

The dominant force reshaping the market is artificial intelligence. The build-out of AI data centres has re-energised bandwidth growth after a period of more incremental expansion, driving demand for the highest-speed transceivers - 800G and 1.6T modules - at volumes the industry has never before had to supply. AI clusters consume optics in vast quantities to connect thousands of accelerators across scale-up, scale-out and scale-across network fabrics, and hyperscaler capital expenditure on this infrastructure has surged. As a result, the market is on a trajectory that roughly doubles or more across the 2026–2036 period, with datacom - and the AI-network segment within it - the fastest-growing pool of demand.

Beneath the headline growth, four structural shifts run in parallel. The first is the migration from electro-absorption modulated lasers toward silicon photonics, which rises from roughly a quarter of datacom shipments toward two-thirds, commanding an even larger share of revenue. The second is the progression up the speed ladder, from 800G through 1.6T toward 3.2T. The third is the gradual emergence of co-packaged optics, which integrates optical engines directly onto switch silicon to overcome the power and density limits of pluggable modules. The fourth is the diversification of demand beyond communications into access networks, wireless, automotive LiDAR, optical computing and quantum applications.

The market also faces genuine constraints. Component supply - particularly indium-phosphide lasers - is a binding limit on how fast high-bandwidth transceivers can be produced, and power, cooling and capital availability shape the pace of deployment. Competition is intensifying, with vertical integration emerging as the winning model and a wave of consolidation and new entrants reshaping the competitive landscape. The optical transceiver market of 2026–2036 is therefore one of exceptional opportunity, structural change and strategic complexity.

The Global Optical Transceiver Market 2026–2036 provides a comprehensive analysis of the global optical transceiver market across the 2026–2036 forecast period, combining technical assessment, detailed market forecasting and competitive analysis. The report provides a technical introduction to optical transceivers - their function, core components, transceiver types, form factors and packaging - and analyses the market drivers, restraints and trends shaping the forecast period. Detailed technology analysis addresses the datacom roadmap from 10G to 3.2T, DSP and lane-speed evolution, emerging modulator technologies and silicon photonics, the telecom and coherent technology roadmap, AI data centre network architectures, and co-packaged optics and next-generation form factors.

Quantitative projections are provided for the total optical transceiver market by revenue and volume, segmented by end market, data rate, lane speed, transmission distance, optical technology and region. Dedicated forecasts address the datacom market, the AI-network optical module segment, and the telecom and coherent market. The full range of end markets is analysed - access networks (FTTH and PON), wireless 5G and 6G fronthaul, enterprise and campus networking, automotive FMCW LiDAR, optical computing and chip-to-chip interconnect, and quantum, sensing and other applications - each with a market forecast to 2036.

The report includes a supply chain analysis of component bottlenecks, the supply-demand balance and capacity economics; a strategic outlook incorporating the 2025–2026 consolidation wave; a market opportunities and technology readiness assessment; an assessment of new and emerging materials and technologies; and detailed company profiles spanning module vendors, DSP suppliers, component and laser suppliers, foundries, packaging providers, and CPO, optical-I/O, optical-computing and automotive LiDAR players. Appendices detail the report scope, methodology and segmentation.
