The global VLC market will grow at CAGR of 77.86% during the forecast period. The VLC market is in its nascent stage. There is a growing demand for an alternative wireless communication technology because of the crowding of the RF bandwidth. This will result in the adoption of VLC technology during the forecast period. As the VLC technology is based on LEDs, it does not face distortions or spectrum deficits and can transfer data at very high speeds.
Competitive vendor landscape
VLC is an emerging technology that has gained much attention from academic, research, and standardization perspectives. The evolution in LED technology has provided the decisive push for the adoption of this technology. VLC is still in the introductory phase and has not been able to gain much market acceptance yet. This technology may be employed as a complementary technology to the existing wireless networks.
"The VLC market has a high growth potential and is witnessing new product development, collaborations, acquisitions, and partnerships across the value chain. The market will develop further during the forecast period due to factors such as increased government funding, faster and safer transfer of data, R&D activities, bandwidth limitation, and acceptance among electronic device manufacturers," says Sunil Kumar Singh, a lead embedded systems research analyst from Technavio.
Thus, the emergence of new opportunities in the market such as mobile companies looking to integrate the technology into their smart devices and lighting companies looking to enter the market will propel the long-term growth of the global visible light communications market during the forecast period.
