The [Transport Networks Research Service](https://www2.telegeography.com/transport-networks?hsLang=es) includes proprietary data sets, written analysis, and interactive tools for exploring long-haul networks and the undersea cable market. Want to sample our analysis? Fill out this form, and we'll send you a copy of the executive summary of findings. 👉 The story right now is that global bandwidth demand continues to climb, albeit at a steadily slowing rate. As recently as 2020, year-on-year demand had increased 45%, but the pace decelerated to 29% in 2024. Still, this represents a steady 32% compound annual growth rate and a tripling of demand between 2020 and 2024, with demand now surpassing 6.4 Pbps. We cover this, content providers, demand requirements, pricing, geopolitical considerations, and AI in our executive summary. ## More on **Transport Networks** ![featured-img](https://www2.telegeography.com/hubfs/Decade%20of%20maps%20thumbnail.png) ###### Blog #### [The Submarine Cable Boom as Told by a Decade of TeleGeography Maps](https://resources.telegeography.com/submarine-cables-over-time-through-the-years?hsLang=en) There's been lots of conversation about the recent boom in submarine cable construction.
