What Is Covered Under Light Fidelity (Li-Fi)/Visible Light Communication Market?

Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) or Visible Light Communication refers to a wireless communication technology that uses light to transmit data. It is used to provide high-speed internet connectivity through LED lights, enhancing data transfer rates in environments where traditional Wi-Fi may be limited. The main components of light fidelity (Li-fi) visible light communication are LED photodetectors, and microcontrollers (MCU). Microcontrollers refer to an integrated circuit (IC) device used for controlling other portions of an electronic system, usually via a microprocessor unit (MPU), memory, and some peripherals. The transmission types are unidirectional and bidirectional. The various applications included indoor networking, LBS (location-based services), in-flight communication and entertainment, underwater communication, and other applications. The industry verticals involved retail, electronics, defense and security, automotive and transport, aerospace and aviation, healthcare, and other industry verticals (mining and chemical).

What Is The Driver Of The Light Fidelity (Li-Fi)/Visible Light Communication Market?

Increasing concern over cyber security is expected to propel the growth of the light fidelity (Li-Fi)/visible light communication market going forward. Cyber security refers to the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. Li-Fi, which is using visible light for the transmission of data, is considered to be more secure than its predecessor, as security has been built into the channel itself, as a result, increasing concerns over cybersecurity increase the demand for (Li-Fi)/visible light communication market. For instance, on November 20, 2023, according to the Department of Defence Australia, an Australia-based government department, during the financial year 2022-2023, the Australian Cyber Security Centre received over 94,000 reports of cybercrime, marking a 23 percent increase from the previous year, 2021-22. Therefore, the increasing concern over cyber security is driving the light fidelity (Li-Fi)/visible light communication industry.
