By any step, the worldwide bandwidth market is growing. International bandwidth need has actually almost doubled from 2020 to 2022, and has actually now reached 3.8 Pbps.
On the other hand, the lit capability on significant submarine cable television paths continues to skyrocket, equaling need.
How? Is the network getting much faster?
Not rather. Believe larger highway, not much faster cars and trucks.
To satisfy need, submarine cable television operators are lighting extra capability on existing systems. Not just that, however brand-new systems are coming online throughout all paths.
The year 2016 started a duration of considerable worldwide financial investment in the sector. Cable televisions with a combined building expense of $8.7 billion went into service in between 2018 and 2022, and every significant subsea path saw brand-new cable televisions released throughout this timeframe.
Financial investment is anticipated to rise throughout all worldwide paths.
Financial investment is anticipated to rise throughout all worldwide paths. Based upon publicly-announced scheduled cable televisions, over $10 billion worth of brand-new cable televisions are anticipated to get in service in between 2023 and 2025.

Notes: Overall building expenses of all worldwide and domestic submarine cable televisions going into service in designated years. Building expenses leave out the expense of subsequent capability upgrades and yearly functional expenses. 2023-2025 building expenses based upon revealed agreement worths and TeleGeography price quotes.
