Other companies like Shijia Photonics and TFC Optical Communication also reported significant profit growth.

A research report from Jinrui Securities indicated that the OFC conference provided an optimistic outlook for demand in the optical module industry. The market size is projected to grow 1.5 to 2 times by 2026, with a further doubling expected in 2027. Separately, Arista Networks officially announced the formation of the XPO MSA, introducing a 12.8Tbps liquid-cooled pluggable optical module. This module offers a faceplate density of 204.8Tbps per OCP rack unit, which is four times the density of existing 1.6T OSFP solutions, providing a pathway to extend the lifecycle of the pluggable optical module ecosystem. Furthermore, Lumentum projected an 85% compound annual growth rate for indium phosphide chips from 2026 to 2030, which is beneficial for the upstream optical chip industry.
