LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "What Is The Estimated Industry Size Of Subsea Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) Market?
In recent years, the market size of the subsea reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) has demonstrated rapid expansion. The market is set to grow from $1.29 billion in 2024 to $1.46 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. This increase during the historical period is a result of the rise in global data traffic and the need for undersea communication networks with high capacity. There's also been an expansion of cloud computing and data center infrastructure, and a growing demand for dynamic bandwidth management along transoceanic routes. Furthermore, developments in optical networking technologies that facilitate efficient data transmission, as well as the escalating adoption of 5G networks, have also contributed to this growth.

The market for subsea reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) is forecasted to experience significant expansion in the coming years. By 2029, it is set to reach a valuation of $2.38 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. This projected growth within the forecast period can be credited to the escalating implementation of adaptable and scalable undersea optical networks, surging demand for instantaneous network reconfigurability in undersea communication systems, increased investments in transoceanic fiber optic infrastructure, advancements in wavelength selective switch (WSS) technologies for added network flexibility and growing partnerships between telecom providers and technology vendors to boost subsea network capabilities. The forecast period is characterized by developments in undersea optical network technologies, the incorporation of artificial intelligence and automation in managing subsea networks, technological advancements in wavelength selective switches for enhanced network performance, the growth of cloud computing and data center infrastructure fuelling subsea network demand, and collaboration between telecom providers and technology vendors to boost subsea network abilities.

What Are The Major Factors Driving The Subsea Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) Global Market Growth?
The anticipated boost in global data traffic is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the subsea reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) market. This term encapsulates the complete quantity of digital information exchanged across global networks, involving mobile and fixed-broadband connections. Applications demanding significant bandwidth such as video streaming, cloud computing, and live communications, supercharged by growing 5G networks, are jointly contributing to a pronounced rise in global data transmission. The need for more versatile systems capable of dynamically adjusting or redirecting optical wavelengths is becoming increasingly apparent to ensure effective management of the swelling network capacity, especially as data volumes transported via submarine cables rise. For example, mobile network data traffic displayed approximately 6% growth from the last quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of 2024, as stated by Ericsson, a telecommunications firm based in Sweden. Consequently, the global data traffic surge is contributing to the expansion of the subsea reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) market. The escalating uptake of cloud services, which is escalating the demand for infrastructure capable of transmitting data between continents, is fuelling market growth. Cloud services, essentially internet-based computing resources and applications, permit software, storage, and processing power access on an as-needed basis, negating the need for maintaining physical infrastructure. The digital transformation push is driving the heightened adoption of cloud services as businesses across different sectors transit to cloud-based platforms to achieve superior scalability, agility, and operational efficiency in a progressively interconnected global economic landscape. The expansion of cloud services underscores the necessity for solid intercontinental data transmission capabilities so data can smoothly journey across oceans via submarine fiber-optic networks. Advanced optical switching and routing technologies are needed to cater to the escalating bandwidth demands. For instance, Flexera, a US-based computer software firm, reported an increase in multi-cloud utilization, up 2% from 87% in 2023 to 89% in 2024. Thus, the augmented adoption of cloud services is propelling the expansion of the subsea reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) market.
