Global Submarine Optical Fiber Cables Market Size study & Forecast, by Component (Wet Plant Products and Dry Plant Products), Type (Single Core and Multicore), Offering (Installation & Commissioning, Maintenance Others, and Upgrades), Voltage (Medium Voltage and High Voltage), and End User (Offshore Wind Power Generation and Offshore Oil & Gas) and Regional Analysis, 2022-2029

Global Submarine Optical Fiber Cables Market is valued at approximately USD 19.25 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 14.3% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Submarine Optical Fiber Cables Subsea cables are fiber optic cables that connect countries worldwide via cables laid on the ocean floor. The size of these cables range in thousands of miles and are capable of transmitting a large volume of data rapidly from one point to another. Moreover, optical fibers that carry data are covered in silicone gel, and are also covered in multiple layers of plastic, steel wiring, copper, and nylon to provide insulation which helps in protecting the signal as well as cable from the damage from wildlife, anchors , fishing, or any other natural calamities. The increasing smartphone penetration and growing demand for the internet and growing shift towards cloud-based service are the key factors driving the market growth.

Over the years the demand and adoption of smartphones have significantly increased. For instance – according to Statista – in 2020, the total number of smartphone subscribers worldwide was estimated at 4410.79 million, and this number reached 5006 million in 2022, and as per projections, the number of users would reach USD 6162.26 million by 2028. Also, increasing demand for HVDC submarine power cables and the growing deployment of high-capacity communications systems would create a lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, disruptions in service due to a lack of redundancy stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
