Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) Market Worth Over $5bn by 2027

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers Market size is set to surpass USD 5 billion by 2027, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

The proliferation of ADAS and self-driving technologies across developed economies will boost the market growth during the forecast timeline. The vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser components are integrated into automotive LiDAR systems for 3D mapping of objects and surroundings, increasing their applications in driver-assistance systems and self-driving cars. VCSEL offers several intuitive features such as high resistance to ambient light, faster scanning, and highly efficient scanning compared to its counterpart technologies such as Radar and Sonar technologies.
 

Several automotive OEMs including Tesla, Inc., General Motors, Daimler AG, Great Wall Motors, etc., are focusing on integrating LiDAR-based systems in their upcoming driverless cars, creating high growth opportunities for the market.
 

The limited data transmission range associated with vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers are major factors restraining the market progression. VCSEL components offer limited modulation performance and large frequency chirp that limit fiber transmission speed and distance. Furthermore, the continuously rising demand for high-speed networks across the telecommunication sector has encouraged market players to opt for silicon photonics technology over Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
