Li-Fi is the optical wireless communication technology that would provide high-speed data communication for various applications such as healthcare monitoring, consumer electronics, retail, smart citi, and emergency communication system. The FSO and VLC are expected to address the growing demand for high-speed data communication. To provide high-speed data connectivity, Li-Fi technology is required. This technology includes lighting solutions, software-based solutions for network operations, and access points.
However, COVID-19 pandemic has hit the global economy severely. Its impact can be far-reaching and worse if not contained effectively. Several industries have been adversely impacted, and the telecommunication industry is not an exception. The developments in wireless network communications technologies due to an exponential rise in data traffic have resulted in huge investments in Li-Fi technology by network infrastructure providers. The COVID-19 outbreak will certainly delay the deployment of Li-Fi technology, thereby affecting every stakeholder in the supply chain.
Market Dynamics:
Driver: Faster and safer data transfer than other challenging technologies
VLC/Li-Fi technology is very efficient in terms of energy consumption. The VLC system consumes very low energy by using LEDs for the data transmission purpose. VLC technology is a greener, cleaner, and safer technology as it produces no hazardous emissions, unlike RF, and is also biologically safe. Moreover, VLC technology is interference-free, which means it does not generate electromagnetic interference as is produced by RF systems. Therefore, it can be used in areas where RF wireless communications are not permitted, such as in hospitals, chemical plants, or on oil rigs or underwater. Thus, faster and safer data communication than other competing technologies is the major driving factor for the VLC technology.
Restraint: Applicable only for short-range communication applications and requirement of direct LoS
As the VLC technology depends on light, its major drawback is that the light cannot penetrate solid objects such as walls and wooden doors and windows. For the proper functioning of the technology, direct LoS is required, and the coverage of VLC systems is also very less. Thus, it can be observed that the technology is confined to close spaces. Though it could also mean privacy for the personal user, its use for large-scale delivery of data transmissions is questionable. However, despite its drawbacks, researchers all over the world are trying to further develop this new technology.
Opportunity: High emergence of new applications such as IoT and 5G
Li-Fi is a disruptive technology and can have an impact on many industries. Li-Fi can drive Industry 4.0 applications, provide light-as-a-service (LaaS) in the lighting industry, enable ITS, enhance road safety for semi-autonomous and autonomous cars, enable new ways of health monitoring of aging societies, create new cyber-secure wireless networks, offer new solutions to close the digital divide, and enable high-speed wireless connectivity in future data centers. Li-Fi will play an important role in connecting two major industries, i.e., the wireless communications industry and the lighting industry. In the next 510 years, Li-Fi will serve many applications and be an integral part of the emerging smart cities and Industry 4.0. Thus, VLC has huge potential to provide all the features and facilities, as well as assist in the fast commercialization of IoT and 5G technologies by being considered the potential access option for their applications.
Challenge: Lack of technological awareness
Till 2013, there were a limited number of companies active in the field of VLC; however, with the growing interest in this field, the number of players is increasing gradually. This technology has not yet been promoted enough. There should be two-way communication between manufacturers and technology providers. However, as the technology is new and developments are still going on, players are not revealing what they are working on, which again creates a gap between manufacturers and consumers as they are not aware of the current status of the technology. This technological awareness is expected to grow as the technology is fully commercialized and enters the mainstream, which is expected by the end of 2020.
Software held the largest market share of Li-Fi market in 2019
The software is expected to account for the largest share of the Li-Fi market by 2025. Due to the commercialization of bidirectional VLC in late 2017, the demand for software solutions is projected to rise and support the uplink and downlink for two-way communications in various applications.
Mobile backhaul and consumer electronics held largest share of FSO and VLC market in 2019
The mobile backhaul application is expected to continue to account for the largest size of the FSO market. This is due to the increasing internet penetration and data traffic from mobile applications, including the Internet, video, and data services, which has grown tremendously with the proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and other wireless devices. The consumer electronnics application is expected to continue to account for the largest size of the VLC market The increase in the number of mobile devices, robots, wearable solutions, and drones, implementation of smart homes, and a rise in the need for high-bandwidth communication are the key factors that are projected to drive the growth of the VLC market. For upgraded secure and high-speed communication in indoor applications, the implementation of VLC technology is an ideal technology that is cost-effective and energy-efficient. Hence, this application is projected to record high demand for VLC systems during the forecast period.
APAC is expected to hold a significant share of FSO and VLC market by 2025.
APAC accounted for the largest share of the FSO and VLC market by 2025. The FSO and VLC market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing manufacturing facilities, advanced infrastructure, and the growing computer-aided design (CAD) industry are the factors driving the FSO market in APAC. Also, with the recent developments and increased expenditure on VLC-related R&D activities, the APAC region is expected to be the fastest-growing market for VLC during the forecast period. Similarly, end-user industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, and consumer electronics are expected to create huge opportunities for VLC or Li-Fi solution providers.
