Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) Market Growth
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many segments of the economy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the production facilities of electrical, electronics, and semiconductors were temporarily shut down due to the slowdown and unavailability of the workforce worldwide. Hence, the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) Market witnessed a slight decline in the demand for VCSEL, leading to the vendors' lower revenue generation.
One of the key industries to use VCSEL technology is the smartphone sector, which has faced disruptions in production. Further, the pandemic impacted the growth of 5G, as delays in the manufacturing and production of smartphones and reduced demand hindered the development of affordable 5G smartphones. This increased the use of VCSEL technology. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic hampered the mass-scale production of VCSEL, which decreased its demand in the market.
Also, the COVID-19 pandemic led to several long-term and short-term impacts on the consumer industry. The Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) Market has experienced a significant drop in demand due to the slowdown of operations in the end-user industries across the world. However, the production restarted after the ease of restrictions. As a result, the demand for cheaper communication and IT increased in developing as well as developed countries, which fueled the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) Market size growth.
Lumentum Holdings, Coherent Corp, Trumpf, Broadcom Inc., and Ams-Osram AG are a few of the key players operating in the VCSEL market.
