3. Silicon Photonics Companies - Cisco Systems, Inc. (US) and Intel Corporation (US) are the Key Players

The silicon photonics market was valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 5.0 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 28.5% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028. The rising demand for CMOS-integrated silicon photonics technology in data centers is one of the primary drivers of market growth.

Some prominent players in the silicon photonics industry have predominantly used acquisition and partnership tactics to strengthen their market position.

• In March 2023, MACOM Technology Solutions announced the acquisition of Linearizer Communications Group (US), a developer of industry-leading products specializing in non-linear microwave pre-distortion, for use in terrestrial, avionic, and space-based applications and high-performance microwave photonic solutions, for use in the industrial and defense markets.
• In February 2022, Intel Corporation (US) entered a definitive agreement to acquire Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (Israel), one of the leading foundries for analog semiconductor solutions. The acquisition is expected to advance Intel's IDM 2.0 strategy by accelerating its global end-to-end systems foundry business. The transaction is expected to be closed in the first half of 2023, subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
