The global visible light communication market size was valued USD 23.09 million in 2020 and is anticipated to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rising demand and investments in visible light communication (VLC) technology.
VLC systems are used to provide ultra-high-speed, secure, and biologically compatible communication networks that allow for the creation and spread of unified computing applications.
For purpose of communication, such systems utilize changed light wavelengths emitted by a range of sources, including indoor and outdoor illumination, signaling, bulletin board, television, computer screens, digital cameras, and digital cameras on mobile phones. This type of system largely using light emitting diodes (LEDs). The use of wireless technologies such as infrared (IR), Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, can be obsolete in the future due to rising penetration of VLC for various applications.
Market Trends Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities
- Rising preference for VLC applications is expected to drive the market growth.
- The exponential expansion of LED in most lighting devices is anticipated to fuel the adoption of high-speed VLC, spurring the growth of the market.
- Lack of awareness about VLC technology can hamper the market expansion
- Ongoing technological developments is estimated to offer lucrative opportunities for industry players in the projected timeline.
