Optical encryption is a means of securing in-flight data and is carried over the optical waves across the fibre optic cables. Owing to rising concerns towards privacy for data security and high demand for data centre deployments coupled with the rising cases of cyber frauds, the optical encryption market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2028. The market is segmented by encryption layer into OTN/layer 1, MACsec/layer 2, and IPsec/layer3, out of which, the IPsec/layer3 segment is anticipated to hold the leading share in the optical encryption market. This can be attributed to utilization of IPsec/layer 3 widely in enterprises and government networks along with the provision of continuous security to several networks and transport layers.

Research Nester released a report titled “Optical Encryption Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2028″which delivers detailed overview of the global optical encryption market in terms of market segmentation by encryption layer, data rate, end user and by region.
