Meta announced plans for Petal, a transoceanic cable connecting the United States and France that is designed to carry up to 1 petabit per second. The approximately 7,000-kilometer system will use multicore fiber and is expected to enter service in 2029. NEC and Sumitomo Electric are partners on the cable, with Orange supporting the French landing. Meta says Petal is designed to double the capacity of today's most advanced transoceanic cables. The project reflects the growing role of large technology companies in financing and shaping subsea infrastructure as demand for international data capacity rises.

According to DataM Intelligence, the submarine cable systems market was valued at USD 30.30 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 70.43 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2026 to 2035. North America holds the largest market share, while Asia-Pacific is forecast to grow fastest. Communication cables account for a major share of the market; power cables are expected to grow rapidly alongside offshore wind, interconnectors and island electrification.

Petal highlights the commercial importance of capacity, route diversity and landing infrastructure. Hyperscaler-backed systems can create opportunities for cable manufacturers, optical-fiber suppliers, installation and maintenance providers, and operators connecting landing stations to terrestrial networks. The project remains planned, with service expected in 2029.

Asia-Pacific's growth is reflected in a wave of new routes and landing points. Google's America-India Connect initiative includes a subsea gateway in Visakhapatnam and three new subsea paths linking India with Singapore, South Africa and Australia. The gateway adds a landing point beyond Mumbai and Chennai, helping diversify international connectivity into India.

Technology choices are also evolving. Petal's multicore fiber design and the I-AM system's planned use of space-division multiplexing show how operators are pursuing higher capacity within subsea infrastructure. Meanwhile, the market's communication-cable base is complemented by rising demand for power cables to connect offshore renewable energy and support cross-border electricity transmission.
