Optical Wavelength Services Market Overview
(180 pages) Global Optical Wavelength Services market to grow at a high CAGR Of 8.7% during the forecast period 2023- 2030. The market is expected to grow due to increasing demand from Government, Mobility and Telecom, Information Technology, Banking and Finance, Retail, Aerospace and Aviation. The competitive rivalry intensifies with AT&T Intellectual Property, Comcast., Nokia, and others operating in the market.
Optical wavelength service is a point-to-point service based on fiber optics and could provide a high bandwidth delivery service. Optical wavelength service employs Dense wavelength division multiplexing technology (DWDM), allowing several businesses to share the same pair of optical fiber, thereby reducing deployment and maintenance costs.
The data transmitted via DWDM is initially encoded on a multitude of lasers with a unique wavelength or frequency. The combined lasers are then transmitted as a composite signal through a single optical fiber. Further, the signal is converted back to its constituents in the receiving end utilizing a de-multiplexer. Approximately 96 high bandwidth channels could be transmitted through a single strand of optical fiber and are often considered extremely fast and reliable.

Optical Wavelength Services Market Trends
The high security and performance offered by optical wavelength services could be considered one of the major market drivers. Additionally, the sizeable capacity and ease at which the network could be scaled further enhance the demand and profitability of the optical wavelength market in the forecast period.
High data security and performance
The enhancements in data security and performance offered by optical wavelength services compared to their counterparts tend to enhance the demand for optical wavelength services in the market. Data security and performance are two very important parameters for organizations in every field as the transmitted data might contain sensitive information vital to both senders and receivers. Similarly, the speed at which data is being transferred is vital and varies under the circumstances.
As per Verizon Partner Solutions, a global wholesaler of internet, voice and data, the security offered by optical wavelength services is military-grade and extremely reliable for sending sensitive information. Similarly, since optical networks have private circuits, the businesses or users relying on such networks can achieve maximum performance, speed, low latency and high capacity transfer rates.
In short, the demand for optical wavelength services is rising extensively due to their unmatched data protection as well as peak performance. Therefore, the adoption of optical wavelength services by businesses, individuals and institutions is growing, thus boosting sales and demand.
Less bandwidth incremental options
One of the major market restraints that constrict the growth of the global optical wavelength service market is the unavailability of variable bandwidth increment options. As per Ciena, a networking services, system and software company, most major global optical wavelength service market players offer plans that lease the user bandwidths in multiples of 10Gbps or 100Gbps.
However, when users or corporates want to increase or decrease their bandwidth by a tad, for instance, 2 to 5Gbps due to high or low data flow, they face various consequences due to rigid plans. Additionally, many counterparts of optical wavelength services, such as copper wavelength services, offer more flexible options. Since the market demand for optical wavelength services is constricted due to the restrictions in bandwidth incrementation options, the respective factor could be considered as a major market restraint.
COVID-19 Impact on Optical Wavelength Services Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had an overall positive impact on the global optical wavelength market, mostly due to two major parameters. The first and foremost factor is the rapid digital expansions many a company underwent during the pandemic to attract customers. Such expansions made many companies dependent on optical wavelength services that offer enhanced long-distance connectivity.
Finally, since the pandemic initiated a work from home culture worldwide, the demand for optical wavelength service was further enhanced as the respective service offered better network services and clearer data transfer quality, particularly for video conferencing. As a result of these parameters, many a company switched to optical wavelength services, thereby boosting the market prospects of the global optical wavelength market.
