(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) AI data centers, 5G, HPC and LiDAR drive demand for compact, energy-efficient photonics, advancing co-packaged optics, III-V/silicon integration and high-bandwidth transceivers.Dublin, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Hybrid Photonic Integrated Circuit Global Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Hybrid Photonic Integrated Circuit Market to Reach $18.75 Billion by 2030 as Demand for High-Speed Data Transmission Accelerates
The global hybrid photonic integrated circuit market is experiencing rapid growth, supported by expanding data center infrastructure, advances in silicon photonics and rising demand for high-speed data transmission. The market is projected to increase from $8.03 billion in 2025 to $9.5 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3%.
Historic market growth has been driven by the expansion of telecommunications networks, greater adoption of wavelength division multiplexing and continued improvements in silicon photonics technology. Hybrid photonic integrated circuits combine multiple photonic materials, active components and passive elements on a single chip, enabling compact systems with enhanced functionality, flexibility and performance.
The hybrid photonic integrated circuit market is forecast to reach $18.75 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 18.5%. Key growth factors include the deployment of artificial intelligence-driven data centers, increased demand for high-performance computing, expansion of 5G and next-generation telecommunications networks, and wider use of light detection and ranging systems in autonomous applications. Investment in integrated photonics research is also expected to support product development and commercialization.
Major hybrid photonic integrated circuit market trends include the adoption of co-packaged optics architectures, integration of III-V materials with silicon platforms and growing demand for high-bandwidth optical transceivers. Manufacturers are also advancing hybrid integration technologies for compact photonic modules while prioritizing energy-efficient optical interconnects for data centers, cloud networks and high-performance computing environments.
Rising global data consumption remains a significant market driver. Growth in cloud computing, digital services and data-intensive applications requires faster, more reliable connectivity among users, data centers and communications infrastructure. Hybrid photonic integrated circuits address these requirements by delivering higher bandwidth, faster signal processing, reduced latency and improved energy efficiency compared with conventional electronic-only systems. In February 2024, the UK Office of Communications reported that average monthly data usage per fixed broadband connection rose by 53 GB, or 11%, to 535 GB during 2023.
Product innovation is accelerating as photonics companies develop hybrid high-speed optical transmitter circuits for AI data centers and next-generation cloud infrastructure. In December 2025, POET Technologies Inc. launched its Hybrid-Integrated 1.6T 2xFR4 Transmitter PIC on the company's Optical Interposer platform. The compact chip-scale device integrates four 2x200G electro-absorption modulated laser arrays, eight high-speed driver integrated circuits and two monolithically integrated arrayed waveguide gratings. It provides total capacity of 1.6 Tbps across eight 106 Gbaud PAM4 lanes and supports transmission over as much as two kilometers of duplex single-mode fiber.
Strategic acquisitions are also shaping competition within the hybrid photonic integrated circuit industry. In January 2024, UK-based ORCA Computing Limited acquired the Integrated Photonics Division of GXC Inc. for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was intended to accelerate ORCA Computing's technology development and strengthen its position in quantum computing by adding advanced photonics expertise and intellectual property to its scalable quantum systems roadmap.
