VCSEL Market, by Raw Material Type (Gallium Nitride, Gallium Arsenide, Indium Phosphide, Other Raw Material Types), By Application (Datacom, Proximity Sensors, 3D Sensing, Industrial, Others), By Regional Analysis (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, LAMEA): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019–2026

VCSEL Market Analysis:

VCSEL or vertical cavity surface emitting laser is a semiconductor-based laser diode that transmits a profoundly effective optical beam vertically from its top surface. VCSEL has replaced the old edge-emitting semiconductor lasers as VCSEL is cheap to produce and is more efficient as compared to edge-emitting semiconductors. VCSEL emits a narrow circular beam compared to traditional edge emitters, which makes energy flow extremely simple from the device to an optical fiber. Also, VCSEL emits energy ranging from 850 nm to 1300 nm. Moreover, VCSEL has the capacity to transform the fiber optic communications sector by improving efficiency and increasing data transfer speed.

Massively growing data centers and technological innovations are key drivers for VCSEL Market success 

The worldwide need for data transfer or information exchange has increased exponentially, eventually leading to the development of various data centers across the globe. Also, these data centers ensure the availability of accurate data with high-speed results may surge the demand for VCSEL, which will ultimately augment the growth of the global VCSEL market, during the forecast period. Moreover, the new-age automotive sector is also incorporating VCSEL in its electronic parts for its high performance and efficient results. Furthermore, the old semiconductors were inefficient and slow, on the other hand, VCSEL has provided an opportunity to these data centers by providing a high-speed data transfer platform using optical fiber, which has created a huge demand for VCSEL, which positively impact the global market. In addition, technology advances such as infrared illumination, laser enabled HDD technology, gesture recognition, and 3D imaging have opened new opportunities for VCSEL market growth. 

High Costs and Limited range are negatively impacting VCSEL Market

The availability of substitutes along with the high cost of VCSEL technology to manufacture is expected to hamper the growth of the global VCSEL industry, during the forecast period. In addition, the limited range of VCSEL (Maximum-1300 nm) as compared to optical fibers transfer energy (Maximum-1500 nm) is also projected to obstruct the growth of the global market.

Increasing Demand From Consumer Electronics is expected to provide a significant opportunity for the global VCSEL Market 

The consumer electronics sector has opened up a whole new segment for VCSEL market growth. The advancement in smartphone technology related to 3D sensing has created a lucrative opportunity for the VCSEL market to grow as this technology uses VCSEL. Mobile phone manufacturers worldwide are incorporating 3D sensing and facial recognition technology in their products, as customers are finding it excessively useful. Major smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, One Plus, Xiaomi, Apple, and Oppo have incorporated facial recognition and retina scan technology in their smartphones. VCSEL is one of the most important materials for the development of these technologies and hence it is increasingly consumed by consumer electronics manufacturers because of the popularity such technologies are gaining worldwide.

VCSEL Market, by Raw Material Type:

Gallium Nitride segment will be most lucrative till 2026
