Li-Fi also known as light fidelity communication system, is a wireless optical networking technology which uses common led light bulbs to transmit data with a speed of around 224 gigabits per second. Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 103% during the forecast period 2016-2023. Li-Fi technology has developed in the field of 5G visual light communication system and holds the future of wireless internet access. The radio waves used by Wi-Fi get easily congested and therefore the need for faster and more efficient wireless communication has increased. Li-Fi is the best solution for such congestions as it provides reliable, affordable and more secure internet access. The increasing data traffic across the world and higher speed limit than Wi-Fi are some of the key opportunities for the growth of global Li-Fi market. Factors impacting the growth of global Li-Fi market includes:
- Faster and safer data transfer
- Increasing demand across various applications
- High degree of security
- Huge bandwidth spectrum
- Rising R&D investment
Li-Fi technology offers high rate for data transfer owing to presence of low interference from all the natural and artificial sources which avoid receiver saturation as well as provide large bandwidth network. Growth in data production and usage is influencing the need and demand for the wireless optical networks together with RF-based networks. Increasing demand from various applications such as hospitals, schools and medical centers are projected to contribute to the growth of global Li Fi market in the forecast period. Li Fi technology comprises of visible light wavelengths as an alternative of radio waves which helps in eradicating the negative effects of radio waves on human health. Various nations across the globe such as the U.S., China and Japan have initiated energy conservation through the assistance of LED lighting technology. For example, the government of China funds high brightness LED industry through incentives and resources to improve the manufacturing competencies of domestic LED manufacturers and financial subsidies. Low awareness about the Li Fi technology is hampering the growth of global Li Fi market. Moreover, misapprehensions such as the technology being line-of-sight in nature is also estimated to hinder the growth.
The global Li-Fi market is segmented into application and component. On the basis of application, the market is sub segmented into:

The revenue for the above application segment is specific to the global light fidelity market. However, the total revenue of application segment in general has been excluded from the scope of the report. Also, the total market revenue has been calculated by summing up the component segment.
Geographically, the global Li-Fi market is segmented into:
- North America (U.S. & Canada)
- Asia Pacific (China, India, Japan, RoAPAC)
- Europe (UK, France, Germany, RoE)
- Rest of World
North America holds the largest revenue share in the global li-fi market due to the increasing data traffic and increasing demand for safer and faster data transfer across applications such as automotive, healthcare etc. The North American li-fi market is also driven by the increasing technological innovation in the global li-fi market. According to federal communication commission USA, growth in spectrum crunch is leading to huge growth opportunity of the North American li-fi market. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing region in the global li-fi market. The reason behind this growth is increasing technological innovations in countries such as China and Japan, the rising adaptability and accessibility of the smartphones and connected devices, increase in data traffic in the region, growing bandwidth demand and increasing need for faster and safer data transfer. The regional growth is expected to rise because of the need for internet connectivity in underdeveloped countries.
The Li Fi (Light Fidelity) market is segmented into component and application. The component segment of global li-fi market is sub segmented into LED, photo detector and microcontroller. Rising regulatory initiatives for energy effectiveness has directly amplified the demand for LED. Photo detector segment is expected to grow with an impressive CAGR during the forecast period 2016-2023. The application sub segment is further segmented into automotive, aerospace, defense and security, healthcare, indoor networking, intrinsically, safe environments, location based services (LBS) and underwater communication. Location based services is expected to hold the largest revenue share in the global li-fi market owing to the enhanced shopping experience of consumers by providing precise location information. Healthcare application is expected to rise significantly during the forecast period due to the nonappearance of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves that pose no harm to patients. The Li Fi technology also improves management function as it facilitates sharing of patient data through different departments at very high speed.
