Optical fiber preforms are glass cylinders of extremely pure silica, made through chemical vapor deposition techniques from which optical fibers are produced via heating of the preform to its melting temperature followed by drawing out optical fiber strands in controlled diameters. This market is segmented based on four major deposition techniques including outside vapor deposition, vapor axial deposition, plasma activated chemical vapor deposition, and modified chemical vapor deposition, which have inherent strengths regarding scalability, precision of refractive index profiles, and low-cost manufacturing. In terms of product offerings, this market includes single mode preforms used for long distance telecoms and broadband communications, multimode preforms for shorter distance networked connections such as data centers and enterprise networking, and plastic optical fiber preforms that find consumer and industrial applications.

This industry-s problem lies in its production capability. Preforms require ultra-high-grade silicon tetrachloride input material, deposition machinery with lead times of several years, and expertise limited to only a few manufacturers who meet worldwide criteria. With rising demand for preforms caused by AI data centre builds, government broadband initiatives, and 5G densification efforts, there are emerging shortages, resulting in extended delivery times as well as prices far above average for preforms. With China-s aggressive increase in their capacity, thanks to their government-s industrial policy, there is a direct challenge posed to the existing Japanese and Western firms, and at the same time an increase in production capacity.

For instance, in 2024, Corning Incorporated announced capacity expansion investments targeting optical fibre and preform production to meet accelerating demand from hyperscaler data centre customers and national broadband infrastructure programmes across North America and Europe.

Recent Developments

1. In March 2024, Sterlite Technologies Limited announced a significant expansion of its fiber optic preform manufacturing capacity in India to meet domestic and export demand, which will increase after India's BharatNet national broadband programme implementation and international telecommunications infrastructure procurement activities. The investment strengthens STL's competitive position in the Asia-Pacific preform market while supporting India's goal to develop domestic optical fibre manufacturing capability, which will reduce import dependence for the country's expanding telecommunications infrastructure deployment programs.

1. In July 2024, Prysmian Group announced expanded investment in its optical fibre and preform manufacturing operations across European facilities, targeting the growing demand from subsea cable programmes, national broadband rollouts, and data centre interconnect projects. The investment reflects Prysmian's strategic intent to strengthen supply capability for European telecommunications operators accelerating fibre-to-the-premises deployment and for hyperscaler customers expanding European data centre footprints generating consistent high-volume single-mode preform procurement demand throughout the forecast period.

1. In November 2024, The company Corning Incorporated declared a surge in customer orders for fibre optic and cable shipments due to an unprecedented demand surge for the creation of data centres for generative AI. The company declared its intention to increase production capacity in North America to cater to its hyperscaler customers who need volume shipments under long-term agreements for high bandwidth fiber optics that connect AI clusters together.

1. In March 2025, The Sumitomo Electric Industries company has made announcements regarding additional investments into developing technologies used for preform deposition in order to manufacture single mode optical fibres with ultra-low attenuation properties for use in long-distance telecommunication lines and submarine cables. This is due to increasing needs for optical fibres whose attenuation properties are less than the standard ITU-T G.652D and which will help create longer distances for submarine cables without amplifiers and also in terrestrial long distance telecommunication networks.

Market Dynamics

AI data centre construction and national broadband programmes are driving exceptional fiber optic preform demand.

The hyperscalers which include Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon, are making generative AI infrastructure investments which lead to unprecedented optical fibre requirements for their intra-data-centre and campus interconnect systems that need preform-derived fibre in quantities which have created severe limitations on global supply chains. The United States, European Union, India, and Southeast Asian nations are currently implementing national broadband deployment programs which establish fibre-to-the-premises networks while using all available single-mode preform production resources from every primary manufacturer. The ongoing demand from telecom and data center infrastructure projects serves to sustain the market's high compound annual growth rate while creating supply shortages that will continue to exist throughout the entire forecast period.

High capital intensity, long qualification cycles, and ultra-pure material requirements restrain new market entry.

The manufacturing of fiber optic preform requires multi-hundred-million-dollar capital expenditures which fund deposition reactor systems and feedstock purification infrastructure and fibre drawing facilities while new preform qualification cycles at telecommunications customers require a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 24 months. The production of preform deposition requires ultra-high-purity silicon tetrachloride and germanium tetrachloride feedstocks which create supply chain dependencies because only a small group of certified chemical suppliers can provide these essential materials. The existing structural entry barriers restrict competition to a few established producers which results in limited market supply during demand surges while qualified manufacturers with active production capacity maintain price premiums throughout periods of market tightness.

Subsea cable expansion and AI hyperscale interconnect offer high-value preform procurement opportunities.

Demand for global subsea cable fabrication is at unprecedented levels, fueled by hyperscaler investments in submarine cables, governmental schemes for

enhanced connectivity, and resilience initiatives in the networks of telecommunication operators, resulting in massive volumes and durations for preform acquisitions in single-mode from submarine cable providers, including SubCom, Alcatel Submarine Networks, and HMN Technologies. Artificial intelligence cluster connections in hyperscaler data centers necessitate fiber optic use in volumes and lengths unseen before, resulting in a completely new demand category in terms of preforms which will grow faster than ever seen before in the history of the market.

Feedstock supply concentration, process yield optimisation, and diameter scaling challenge preform manufacturers.

Concentration of production sites of silicon tetrachloride in a few chemical companies leads to procurement risks in case the preform manufacturer desires to increase production quickly to meet increased demand. Optimization of the yield of the chemical vapour deposition process in order to minimize wastage and energy usage while retaining fibre specification uniformity is an ongoing process of improvement that constrains the rate at which production capacity can be increased relative to the rate of increase in demand. Growth of the preform size to lower the cost per fibre produced and enhance drawing efficiency poses process control difficulties that need considerable

Ultra-low-loss fibre development, larger preform diameters, and AI interconnect specifications are reshaping demand.

Fibre with ultra-low loss, where the attenuation rate is less than 0.16dB/km, is becoming common in marine cable applications as well as terrestrial cables. This is leading to increased expenditure on processes such as the advanced preform deposition process by manufacturers such as Sumitomo, Corning, and Shin-Etsu. This ensures that the required refractive index is achieved. At the same time, manufacturers are designing larger preforms that can produce more fibre during one production period, hence cutting down costs per fibre produced. New fibres, like bend-insensitive single mode fibre, are being specified in AI data centres around the world.

Report Segmentation

Dominating Segments

OVD process leads the fiber optic preform manufacturing segment through production scale and quality.

The outside vapour deposition has a revenue dominance in the process category based on the process being the main choice for the manufacture of preforms in large scale at Corning, which is the biggest manufacturer of optical fibres worldwide. This is owing to the fact that OVD has the capacity of manufacturing preforms with very low levels of attenuation and a highly controllable refractive index profile. Therefore, OVD is the most suitable process for the manufacture of high-end single mode preforms that will be used in data centers and long-haul telecommunications. Its qualification for telecommunications customers' supply chains and its ability to use the largest preform diameters being considered for the future give it an edge over other processes.

For instance, in November 2024, Corning announced accelerated capacity expansion for optical fibre and preform production targeting AI data centre demand, with OVD process infrastructure at the core of its North American manufacturing investment programme.

Single-mode preform leads the product type segment through telecommunications and data centre dominance.

The product type segment generates its highest revenue from single-mode preforms, which serve as essential manufacturing materials for all global long-distance telecommunications systems and subsea cable systems and data centre interconnect fibre systems. Single-mode fibre functions as the standard infrastructure-grade optical network technology because it allows users to transmit optical signals across distances that range from metres to thousands of kilometres without experiencing multipath dispersion. The AI data centre construction boom is generating single-mode preform demand within facility environments previously associated primarily with multi-mode fibre, as hyperscalers specify single-mode for their highest-bandwidth server interconnect applications at distances where multi-mode performance is insufficient to meet throughput requirements at commercially viable transceiver costs.

For instance, in March 2025, Sumitomo Electric announced advanced preform deposition investment targeting ultra-low-loss single-mode fibre for subsea and long-haul applications, reinforcing single-mode's dominant and technically evolving position in global preform procurement.

Telecom end use leads the fiber optic preform segment through infrastructure deployment scale.

The telecommunications industry generates the highest revenue from its end-user customers because of its extensive global fiber network deployment which includes FTTP broadband systems and 5G backhaul systems and long-distance cable networks that link cities and underwater areas. The national broadband investment initiatives of the United States and European Union and India and Southeast Asian countries have resulted in cable manufacturers making preform procurement commitments for multiple years to support government-backed infrastructure projects. The telecommunications industry procures its materials through large contracts and extended supply contracts and its products are distributed across various global regions which enables preform manufacturers to secure revenue streams that other smaller end-use segments cannot achieve at the same market size.

For instance, in March 2024, Sterlite Technologies expanded preform manufacturing capacity in India targeting domestic broadband programme and international telecom procurement, reinforcing telecommunications as the dominant and growing end-use revenue driver globally.

Forecast Model (Proprietary Kaiso Engine):

Building on quantitative rigor, Kaiso integrates a Forecast Model that blends statistical precision with strategic scenario planning. Unlike generic projections, this model adapts dynamically to evolving market signals.

Our proprietary forecast engine incorporates the following layers:

1. Baseline Projection: Derived using historical patterns, econometric baselines, and validated macroeconomic inputs.

1. Scenario Forecasting: Optimistic, conservative, and base-case outlooks built with dynamic weighting of influencing variables (e.g., policy shifts, raw material volatility, supply chain disruptions).

1. AI-Augmented Predictive Analytics: Machine learning algorithms detect emerging weak signals, nonlinear patterns, and correlation anomalies that standard models may overlook.

1. Sector-Specific Modules: Tailored sub-models for fast-evolving industries (e.g., clean energy adoption curves, healthcare regulatory cycles, AI penetration trends).

1. Resilience Testing: Shock modeling to evaluate market response under “black swan” or disruption scenarios such as pandemics, trade wars, or technology breakthroughs.

Deliverable outcomes of our Forecast Model:

1. Granular projections by region, segment, and application (up to 2035)

1. Sensitivity-rank matrices highlighting critical drivers and risks

1. Dynamic update capability, ensuring forecasts remain current with real-time data

This ensures that our clients don’t just see where the market is heading, but also how robust that trajectory is under different conditions.
