  • Why did optical module prices drop

    Why did optical module prices drop

    Competition in the 400G optical module segment intensified in 2023, with over 20 manufacturers entering the market, leading to a 12% decrease in average selling prices. Late March, spot memory prices dropped after Google published research on CXL memory pooling and KV cache compression. The market read "AI memory demand will fall. " That was the wrong conclusion. It's still. Understanding the cost of optical modules has become a formidable challenge for IT and procurement professionals. 7% during the forecast period MARKET INSIGHTS The global Optical Module Package Market was valued at 8942 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 20220 million. The significant drop in module prices this year has spurred demand markedly. Many projects that were postponed or cancelled due to high prices last year resumed construction this year after prices fell, while new projects got off the ground smoothly due to high returns.
