While the demand for optical modules in AI data centers continues to surge, another billion‑dollar arena automotive optical communications is accelerating rapidly, driven by the electrification and intelligence of new energy vehicles. The industry is moving from concept validation to product deployment and ecosystem building.
Market forecasts underscore the opportunity: Research and Markets estimates the global in‑vehicle optical network market will reach $3.13 billion in 2026 and exceed $5.2 billion by 2030.
Whether you are seeking in‑vehicle optical components, automotive‑grade optical modules, fiber optic solutions, or direct connections with OEMs and suppliers, CIOE 2026 - Information and Communication Expo provides the ultimate one‑stop sourcing and networking platform.
The Entire In‑Vehicle Optical Supply Chain
CIOE - Information and Communication Expo comprehensively covers optical chips, devices, modules, equipment, and solutions. This year’s edition highlights CW lasers, EMLs, VCSELs, silicon photonic PICs, linear driver chips, 1.6T and 3.2T high‑speed optical modules, CPO/LPO/XPO solutions, optical fibers and cables, and more.
A dedicated Automotive Optical Communications Zone will showcase cutting‑edge in‑vehicle optical components, modules, network architectures, and system solutions, helping automakers and suppliers seize the technology upgrade window and accelerate time‑to‑market.
As L3 autonomous driving approaches mass production, the bandwidth demand per vehicle is exploding. Industry analysis shows that for L3 and above, onboard data bandwidth requirements are rising from the current 10‑50 Gbps to over 100 Gbps in the near future. A single 17‑megapixel automotive camera alone consumes more than 8 Gbps of bandwidth, while traditional copper cables have a practical upper limit of only 10 Gbps.
Optical fiber, on the other hand, easily supports 10 Gbps and beyond, and weighs only one‑fifth as much as copper. Moreover, the proliferation of 800V high-voltage platforms in EVs introduces significant electromagnetic compatibility challenges. Optical fiber, being an insulating medium, is inherently immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it an optimal solution for reliable communication in high-voltage environments.
In China alone, the high‑speed in‑vehicle communication and sensing market could reach over USD 14 billion by 2030.
