Fiber Optic Preform Latest Market Report 2026

On Dec 9, Global Info Research released "Global Fiber Optic Preform Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032". This report includes an overview of the development of the Fiber Optic Preform industry chain, the market status of Fiber Optic Preform Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Fiber Optic Preform.

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Fiber Optic Preform market size was valued at US$ 2859 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
A Fiber Optic Preform is a high-purity cylindrical glass rod that serves as the raw material for manufacturing optical fibers. It contains a core and cladding structure, with specific refractive index profiles designed for light transmission. Preforms are produced using techniques such as Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD), Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD), and Vapor Axial Deposition (VAD). The preform is later heated and drawn into optical fibers used in telecommunications, data centers, medical imaging, defense, aerospace, and industrial sensing. Because the performance of optical fibers depends on preform quality, preforms are considered the backbone of modern digital communication networks.
In 2024, global sales reached approximately 22.9 Kilotons, with an average global market price of around USD 115 per kg.
The fiber optic preform market is a vital enabler of the global digital economy, as preforms form the foundation of optical fiber production. The exponential growth of internet traffic, video streaming, 5G connectivity, IoT devices, and AI-powered applications ensures sustained preform demand worldwide. While Asia-Pacific currently dominates production and consumption, North America and Europe are catching up with investments in domestic manufacturing and advanced fiber technologies. The global push for digital infrastructure, smart cities, and industrial automation further fuels demand across both developed and emerging economies.
Market Trend
The fiber optic preform market is experiencing strong growth due to the rising demand for high-speed connectivity, 5G rollout, cloud computing, and data-intensive applications. Preforms are critical to the production of optical fibers, making them central to the global telecom supply chain. A key trend is the increasing production of single-mode preforms, driven by long-distance communication needs and 5G backbone networks. Multi-mode preforms remain important for short-distance, high-bandwidth applications such as data centers. Another major trend is geographic diversification of preform manufacturing. Historically, a few global companies dominated production, but governments and telecom providers are investing in domestic facilities to reduce reliance on imports.
Market Drive
Telecom Network Expansion – The global deployment of 5G, FTTH, and high-speed broadband networks has significantly increased demand for optical fibers, directly boosting preform consumption. Technological Advancements – Innovations in preform manufacturing (OVD, VAD, MCVD) and the introduction of multi-core fibers and ultra-low-loss preforms are opening new opportunities.
Upstream and Downstream
Upstream, fiber optic preform manufacturing depends on ultra-high-purity silica, germanium tetrachloride, fluorine compounds, deposition equipment, and specialty chemicals. Key upstream suppliers include Heraeus, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Corning Incorporated, Sumitomo Electric, and Heraeus Quarzglas. Equipment providers like Furukawa Electric supply precision deposition technology. Downstream, preforms are converted into fibers and supplied to telecom and data companies. Major fiber producers include Prysmian Group, Fujikura, YOFC (Yangtze Optical Fibre & Cable), STL (Sterlite Technologies), and OFS (a Furukawa subsidiary). End users include telecom operators (China Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Reliance Jio), cloud providers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft), and medical device manufacturers.
