Dublin, Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Data Center Interconnect Market by Type [Products (Packet Switching Network, Optical DCI), Software, Services (Professional, Managed)], Application (Real-time Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity, Workload & Data Mobility) - Global Forecast to 2030" has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The data center interconnect (DCI) market is anticipated to expand exponentially, projected to grow from USD 15.38 billion in 2025 to USD 25.89 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 11.0%. This growth is propelled by the burgeoning demand for low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between geographically dispersed data centers, driven by edge computing and data-heavy services.

The market is witnessing opportunities in implementing open and disaggregated networking architectures and the increasing adoption of cloud-native network functions, fostering scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient DCI deployments across enterprises and service providers.

Services are projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The services segment is set to experience the highest CAGR in the DCI market, attributed to the complexity of interconnection infrastructures and the need for specialized support. As organizations shift to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, demand escalates for expert services to manage secure, high-performance DCI networks, enabling seamless data exchange. This trend is further fueled by rising needs for real-time monitoring, traffic optimization, and disaster recovery planning.

Communications service providers (CSPs) will hold the second-largest market share during the forecast period

CSPs are expected to secure the second-largest share in the DCI market, essential in supporting high-bandwidth, low-latency connections across extensive networks. The increasing need for high-speed internet, 5G deployment, and mobile data usage drives CSPs to expand network capacity and connectivity capabilities. Adoption of network virtualization and SDN/NFV by CSPs enhances service scalability and efficiency, amplifying the demand for advanced DCI technologies.
