As cloud service providers (CSPs) continue to ramp up capital expenditures, demand for high-speed interconnects within data centers is accelerating. Multiple research firms forecast that leading CSPs will sustain high double-digit capex growth in 2026, with roughly half of the increase driven by data center expansion.

AI-driven hyperscale data center expansion is pushing the global AI race beyond raw GPU computing power into a broader contest over high-speed interconnects and electro-optical integration. As Nvidia's next-generation AI factory moves toward petabyte (PB)-scale data transfers, co-packaged optics (CPO) is heading toward commercialization, lifting the importance of key components such as fiber array

On May 27, Marvell Technology reported record revenue in the fiscal first quarter of 2027 and raised its long-term outlook, citing accelerating demand for AI-related data center infrastructure, particularly in high-speed interconnect, Ethernet switching, and custom silicon solutions used in hyperscale cloud deployments.
