Executive Summary
Summary:
The global market for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is expected to grow from $13.9 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $24.2 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8% from 2024 through 2029.
PICs are devices that combine several photonic functions onto a single chip, allowing for the manipulation of light signals in a range of applications. Unlike typical electronic circuits, which rely on electrons, PICs employ photons, providing benefits such as increased speed, bigger bandwidth, and lower energy usage.
The PICs market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for high-speed data transmission and energy-efficient solutions in telecommunications, data centers, and sensing applications. Multiple photonic functions are integrated into a single chip in PICs, giving superior performance, miniaturization, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional optical systems. The need for high bandwidth and the trend of cloud computing and 5G networks have accelerated the adoption of PIC-based technologies.
Technological advances in materials such as silicon photonics and silicon nitride are reshaping the PICs market landscape. Silicon photonics is likely to become a leading technology because it is compatible with existing semiconductor manufacturing processes and is also scalable. This could help reduce production costs and make PICs solutions more accessible to a larger number of applications.
However, significant initial investment requirements and complex manufacturing processes restrict market growth. Looking forward, PICs are expected to witness strong growth supported by increasing governmental and private investments in photonics R&D. Applications are going to expand across new and emerging fields such as quantum computing, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and environmental sensing. They will play a crucial role in shaping the future of technology.
