Free Space Optics (FSO) and Visible Light Communication (VLC)-Global Market Insights and Sales Trends 2025
Synopsis
Free licensing and faster and assurance of safer data transfer than other competing technologies drive the FSO and VLC markets, respectively.
The global Free Space Optics (FSO) and Visible Light Communication (VLC) market size is expected to reach US$ 1155.8 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 22.4% from 2023 to 2029. The market is mainly driven by the significant applications of Free Space Optics (FSO) and Visible Light Communication (VLC) in various end use industries. The expanding demands from the Defense, Satellite, Security and Engineering, are propelling Free Space Optics (FSO) and Visible Light Communication (VLC) market. Modulators, one of the segments analysed in this report, is projected to record % CAGR and reach US$ million by the end of the analysis period. Growth in the Transmitters segment is estimated at % CAGR for the next seven-year period.
The Global Mobile Economy Development Report 2023 released by GSMA Intelligence pointed out that by the end of 2022, the number of global mobile users would exceed 5.4 billion. The mobile ecosystem supports 16 million jobs directly and 12 million jobs indirectly.
According to our Communications Research Centre, in 2022, the global communication equipment was valued at US$ 100 billion. The U.S. and China are powerhouses in the manufacture of communications equipment. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, the cumulative revenue of telecommunications services in 2022 was ¥1.58 trillion, an increase of 8% over the previous year. The total amount of telecommunications business calculated at the price of the previous year reached ¥1.75 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 21.3%.
