    Indium Phosphide Wafer Market Projected to Triple by 2035 on AI Demand

    Question

    Indium Phosphide Wafer Market Projected to Triple by 2035 on AI Demand

    Direct answer

    Indium Phosphide (InP) wafers are essential for the lasers and photodetectors used in high-speed fiber optic networks. As AI data centers move toward 800G and 1.6T interconnects, the demand for InP-based components is expected to accelerate. The projected tripling of the market size by 2035 underscores the long-term infrastructure requirements of the AI era, extending beyond GPUs into the physical networking layer.
