Co-Packaged Optics in the AI Data Center Market and Technology Forecast Report 2026-2034: Roadmaps of 30+ Key CPO Firms and How They Identify Their Roadmaps with AI and Rebrand CPO as a Platform Dublin, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Co-Packaged Optics in the AI Data Center: A Ten-Year Market and Technology Forecast" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

A primary goal for this report is to update CPO forecasts with breakouts by application, speed and technology, network segment and type of data center.

These new projections take into consideration how the rise of AI has impacted CPO technology and its market dynamics. CPO now promises a practical path to scaling multi-rack AI clusters. Meanwhile, major AI vendors, such as AI-accelerator suppliers and system integrators, are designing CPO solutions and positioning them for 2025-2026 deployments in AI data centers.

Co-packaged optics (CPO) addresses bandwidth and latency bottlenecks by moving optical interfaces close to the electrical die, shortening high-speed electrical paths and enabling denser, low-power optical fabrics. This results in higher aggregate bandwidth per accelerator and low energy/bit - thereby aligning with the economics and engineering needs of AI clusters, which is where CPO is currently being positioned. CPO technology is still immature at the present time and the forecasts contained in this report paint different standards and product scenarios and how they will impact the evolving CPO market.

In 2020, the analyst of the report was the first company to publish a co-packaged optics (CPO) market report. They now think that by 2026, CPO will become a major interconnect technology in AI data centers throughout the world. In this report, they build a roadmap for the transition to CPO and show where business value will be created.
