PRESENTATION
Beyond communication, silicon photonics is penetrating consumer and automotive
Our talk will review silicon photonics market forecasts (datacom, telecom, consumer, automotive and computing), technology trends and supply chain. We forecast the silicon photonics transceiver market will reach more than US$4 billion in 2026. But beyond transceivers, automotive and autonomous driving will benefit from silicon photonics sensing in the future. Moreover, the silicon photonic market could even grow further with a large contribution of consumer healthcare (as Rockley Photonics announced plans for biosensors in smart watches with Apple using silicon photonics). As the market grows, the supply chain continues to consolidate. The silicon photonics eco-system is getting larger with more fabs and foundries, more companies involved in packaging, modelization, PDKs, and designs.
