According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Metro Dark Fiber market size was valued at US$ 2469 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4490 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 8.9% during review period.
In 2025, global metro dark fiber deployment reached approximately 96,000 km, based on an average market price of around US$ 25,000 per km. Industry gross profit margins generally ranged from 45% to 65%, reflecting high entry barriers, long asset life cycles, and strong pricing power in metropolitan fiber infrastructure. Global deployment capacity in 2025 was estimated at about 120,000 km, indicating adequate construction and provisioning capability to support rising urban bandwidth demand.
Metro dark fiber refers to unlit optical fiber infrastructure deployed within metropolitan areas and leased to operators or enterprises for exclusive use. It provides ultra-high bandwidth, low latency, and full control over network architecture, serving as a foundational resource for advanced communication services.
The industrial chain includes upstream optical fiber cables, ducts, connectors, and civil construction resources. The midstream focuses on network planning, fiber deployment, splicing, and testing. Downstream applications mainly involve telecom operators, data centers, cloud service providers, financial institutions, and large enterprises.
The metro dark fiber market is expanding rapidly as urban data traffic growth, cloud computing adoption, and 5G network densification increase demand for scalable, low-latency infrastructure. Enterprises and service providers increasingly prefer dark fiber to gain full control over bandwidth allocation, security, and network architecture. Expansion of metropolitan data centers, edge computing nodes, and interconnection services further strengthens demand. Technological trends such as wavelength division multiplexing and network virtualization enhance the long-term value of dark fiber assets by enabling flexible capacity upgrades. During 2026–2032, supported by smart city development, digital economy expansion, and rising data sovereignty requirements, the metro dark fiber market is expected to maintain strong growth and strategic importance.
