[198 Pages Report] The Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser Market size was estimated at USD 2.79 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 3.23 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 18.20% to reach USD 9.02 billion by 2030.

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are semiconductor devices that emit laser light through the top surface of a vertical cavity. The technology offers advantages such as lower cost, higher power efficiency, smaller form factor, and increased reliability compared to conventional edge-emitting lasers (EEL). VCSELs are used in various industries, including consumer electronics, optical storage, healthcare, automotive, and aerospace, and are also utilized for LiDAR systems for autonomous vehicles. Applications for VCSELs include fiber optic communications systems, scanning systems for consumer electronics such as iris recognition on smartphones and tablets, 3D printing, biometric sensing, and laser projection displays, among others. However, the limited data transmission range of VCSELs and the shortage of technical professionals to support their production has impeded product penetration. Manufacturers are constantly improving the performance and quality of VCSELs with more accessible procedures to keep up with the changing end-user demands. Over the past few years, major semiconductor vendors have invested heavily in developing new VCSEL products and technologies. With the rapid adoption of IoT technologies across commercial and government institutes, the need for VCSELs is expected to rise further.
