According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Long and Medium Distance Communication Optical Fiber market size was valued at US$ 5834 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 7692 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.9% during review period.
Long and medium distance communication optical fiber refers to high-purity glass optical fiber—primarily single-mode G.652, G.654, G.655, G.656, and G.657—that enables ultra-low-loss optical signal transmission over tens to thousands of kilometers in telecom backbones, metro networks, submarine systems, and long-haul data transport links; it supports high-capacity DWDM, coherent optical transmission, and ultra-high-speed long-distance connectivity for global communication infrastructure.
The long- and medium-distance optical fiber industry chain starts upstream with quartz sand processing, high-purity silica production, germanium and fluorine dopants, preform manufacturing technology (VAD, MCVD, OVD), optical coatings, and cabling polymers; midstream manufacturers create optical preforms, draw fiber under precise high-temperature control, apply coatings, perform attenuation/dispersion testing, and assemble fibers into armored or loose-tube cables suitable for terrestrial or submarine deployment; downstream participants include telecom carriers, cloud datacenters, utility networks, and submarine cable companies who deploy fiber for long-distance transmission, supported by engineering contractors, installation firms, network integrators, and equipment suppliers.
Major ongoing and planned projects include expansions of ultra-low-loss G.654.E fiber production capacity in China, the U.S., and Europe for long-haul and submarine networks; telecom operators are deploying nationwide backbone upgrades, regional optical transport expansions, and 5G/6G-ready transmission corridors; submarine cable consortia are launching new trans-Pacific, trans-Atlantic, and intra-Asia systems using large-effective-area fibers; R&D projects focus on hollow-core fiber, low-nonlinearity fibers, and advanced coatings for extreme environments; governments in emerging markets are funding national broadband fiberization programs, and data center companies are building high-capacity interconnect routes requiring medium/long-distance optical fiber.
2025 Global Market Sales Volume is 27,000 million meters, the Average Global Market Price is 0.21 USD per meter, and the Market Average Gross Profit Margin is 28%.
The short-distance communication optical fiber market is expanding steadily driven by rapid growth in data centers, cloud computing, and enterprise digitalization. Multimode optical fiber remains the preferred medium for high-speed short-reach connectivity due to its low cost, ease of installation, and strong compatibility with datacenter transceivers such as SR, SR4, and SR8 modules.
Asia–Pacific leads global demand as China, India, and Southeast Asia continue investing heavily in cloud infrastructure and campus networks. North America remains a major consumer due to hyperscale datacenter development and enterprise upgrades to 100G/400G architectures. Europe shows stable adoption across telco, industrial, and institutional networks.
Opportunities include OM5 fiber for SWDM systems, bend-insensitive indoor fiber for compact datacenter routing, and ruggedized industrial fibers for Industry 4.0 communication. Risks include competition from passive copper links in ultra-short connections, price pressure from Asian manufacturers, and cyclic fluctuations in telecom spending. Market trends reflect increasing density in datacenter cabling, miniaturized high-fiber-count indoor cables, and laser-optimized multimode fibers with reduced attenuation.
Overall competitiveness depends on manufacturing scale, preform quality, bandwidth performance, and strategic supply agreements with datacenter and telecom infrastructure companies.
