The Hollow-Core Fiber Market was valued at $250.00 Million in 2025 and is projected to reach $2.95 Billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 28.0 percent over 2026 to 2035, according to Strategic Revenue Insights. AI cluster interconnects are the main driver, because light travels with less delay through an air core than through solid glass.

Hollow-Core Fiber Market Key Takeaways
- Value rises from $250.00 Million in 2025 to $2.95 Billion by 2035, an 11.8x expansion.
- Anti-resonant hollow-core fiber is the largest type at 38.00%, while nested anti-resonant nodeless fiber grows fastest at 31.3%.
- Data center and telecom interconnects are both the largest application at 31.00% and the fastest at 32.4%.
- Hyperscale cloud providers hold 27.00% and are the fastest growing end user at 32.4%.
- Asia Pacific is the largest region at 38.00% and also grows fastest at 29.6%.
What Is Driving Growth
Four drivers add 9.3 percentage points of annual growth, and two restraints take back 3.3. AI cluster interconnects add 3.1 points, the largest single effect, as cloud providers link data center sites that would otherwise be too far apart for low-latency work. Low-latency trading and cloud routes add 2.6 points, falling attenuation in anti-resonant designs adds 2.2 points, and high-power laser and defense delivery adds 1.4 points, because an air core avoids the damage limits of glass. High cost and low draw volumes remove 2.1 points, and splicing and connector complexity removes another 1.2 points.
Segments, Regions and Key Players
Nested anti-resonant nodeless fiber rises from $90.00 Million in 2025 to $1.37 Billion in 2035 and becomes the largest type. Data center and telecom interconnects grow from $77.50 Million to $1.28 Billion, and hyperscale cloud providers grow from $67.50 Million to $1.12 Billion. Telecom operators remain large buyers, while trading, sensing and medical uses give suppliers smaller, higher-priced volumes.
Asia Pacific grows from $95.00 Million to $1.27 Billion by 2035. North America holds 28.00% and grows from $70.00 Million to $712.06 Million at 26.1%, while Europe holds 22.00% and grows at 26.8%. Microsoft brought Lumenisity into its own network programme, showing that field deployment is possible, while YOFC, Corning, Prysmian, Sumitomo Electric, Furukawa Electric and Fujikura are building their own anti-resonant designs.
