Presently in its early stages, the Li-Fi technology is considered more economical & environmentally friendly than WiFi. It has immense potential in various applications, mainly location-based services and smart lighting solutions. In the years ahead, the Li-Fi technology is set to experience substantial utilization in electromagnetic-sensitive areas like nuclear power plants, hospitals, & airplanes due to its higher bandwidth & speed and secured connectivity.
A recent research report published by MarkNtel Advisors states that the Global Li-Fi Market would register more than 60% CAGR during 2022-27. The growth of the market is estimated to be driven primarily due to the mounting need for high-speed & secured data transmission across various industries and the very likely RF spectrum crunch, coupled with the massive LED infrastructure owing to increasing installations in residential & public spaces, enhanced energy efficiency, & continuously reducing prices.
Moreover, numerous ongoing infrastructural developments in different countries worldwide are portraying a mounting adoption of technologies like cloud computing, big data, etc., across several industries, which, in turn, project remunerative growth prospects for the Li-Fi Market through 2027.
In addition, the emergence of various companies manufacturing LEDs, photodetectors, microcontrollers, etc., the essential components required for developing Li-Fi solutions, is also likely to augment the overall market growth through 2027, further states the research report, "Global Li-Fi Market Analysis, 2022."
Rapidly Expanding Retail Sector to Boost the Demand for Li-Fi
The retail sector is expected to become the most prominent end-user of the Li-Fi technology and, consequently, the largest contributor to the growth of the Global Li-Fi Market during the forecast period. It owes principally to the rapidly expanding retail sector and the rising number of indoor retail shops. Besides, since Li-Fi is deployed mainly as a positioning element, it helps retailers enhance the overall customer experience by providing them with the latest promotional offers.
More & more supermarkets are deploying Li-Fi systems, i.e., aiding retailers in understanding consumer buying behavior, tracking their location, & securing their shopping history. As a result, consumers are able to receive on-site information about retail shops as per their preferences. Hence, these aspects indicate lucrative opportunities for the Global Li-FI Market across the retail sector through 2027.
Emergence of North America as a Hub for Li-Fi Industry to Augment the Market Growth
North America, the early adopter of advanced technologies with robust infrastructure across its different countries, is likely to dominate the Li-Fi Market with the largest share during 2022-27.
