Global Li-Fi Market Research Report: Forecast (2022-2027)

Market Segmentation

Based on Components:

  • LEDs
  • Microcontrollers
  • Photodetectors
  • Others (Optical Sensors, etc.)

Amongst them all, LEDs are projected to dominate the Global Li-Fi Market with the largest share during 2022-27. It attributes to their mounting adoption across numerous industries worldwide. Benefits like longevity, power efficiency, high energy output, & reducing costs are leading to the extensive deployment of LEDs & LaaS (Light as a Service) models across various industries for different purposes.

LEDs are the integral components of Li-Fi systems and can be well-used off-the-shelf since they have superior illumination & can modulate brightness, which can be received & used as data. Hence, these aspects project the largest share of LEDs in the global market over the forecast years.

Based on End-User:

  • Aerospace & Defense
  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Retail
  • Automotive
  • Others (Transportation, Media & Entertainment, etc.)

Here, the retail sector is a significant contributor to the market expansion. Across indoor retail stores, Li-Fi is deployed mainly as a positioning element, which allows retailers to significantly improve the customer shopping experience by providing them with the latest promotional offers.

The flickering light emitted by LEDs & fluorescent lamps that smartphones can detect & enable indoor navigation help enhance customer loyalty toward retailers. Hence, the increasing installation of Li-Fi systems in supermarkets is helping retailers understand customer buying behavior, track their location, & secure their shopping history. As a result, the fact that businesses are able to deliver on-site information to customers as per their preferences is promoting the demand for Li-Fi solutions globally across retail outlets.

Regional Landscape

Geographically, the Global Li-Fi Market expands across:

  • North America
  • South America
  • Europe 
  • Middle East & Africa
  • Asia-Pacific

Among all regions, North America is the largest Li-Fi Market globally. It attributes to the increasing deployment of indoor location-based utilities & light fixtures in hotels & retail outlets across the region, coupled with notable advancements in communication technologies like wireless sensor networks, the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, & smartphones.

North America is the early adopter of modern technologies and has an excellent infrastructure. As a result, implementing these technologies & providing enhanced overall connectivity is hassle-free throughout the region. Moreover, being a leader in innovations like Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Smart buildings & cities, electronic products, etc., the region has emerged as the hub of the Li-Fi industry.

Besides, the burgeoning requirements for energy-efficient devices & high-speed bandwidth across several countries in North America are other prominent aspects driving the Li-Fi Market. In addition, the US Navy has been actively working on curating Li-Fi-based communication technology to counter issues associated with subsea or marine communication, i.e., another prominent factor projected to boost the regional market through 2027.

On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is set to register significant market growth over the forecast years. It owes primarily to massive investments in Li-Fi technology, increasing collaborations among Lighting & Li-Fi solution providers, and inadequate communication infrastructure, especially in rural areas of several countries in the region. Moreover, the mounting utilization of automation technologies in several industries across the region, i.e., surging the need for secure & high-speed communication, is another notable factor projected to drive the Li-Fi industry in Asia-Pacific during 2022-27.

Major Dynamics

Key Driver: Overburdened RF Spectrum & Declining Prices of LEDs

With the rapidly rising number of users & devices, there's a substantial risk of RF (Radio Frequency) spectrum crunch in the coming years, as its size is limited. The Li-Fi technology uses a visible light spectrum for high-speed data transmission, which is different from & 10000 times larger than the RF spectrum currently used in WiFi technology. As a result, the gradually diminishing RF spectrum is projected to tremendously boost the adoption of Li-Fi technology and drive the Global Li-Fi Market through 2027.

Moreover, governments of various countries worldwide are actively encouraging the use of more and more LEDs, owing to their low power usage, better illumination, & zero harmful emissions. In fact, some nations are also offering LED lighting solutions at subsidized rates, which, as a result, has notably reduced their prices in the previous few years. The same trend is expected in the coming years, which would drive more users toward adopting Li-Fi systems and fuel the overall market growth.

Growth Restraint: High Installation Costs Associated with Li-Fi Systems 

The primary aspect acting as a growth restraint for the Global Li-Fi Market is the high cost of implementing the technology. Li-Fi solutions have immense potential to deliver superior performance using components like LEDs, microcontrollers, & photodetectors that are expensive and require high power.
