VLC (Visible Light Communications) Market - Forecast to 2021 - Key Players are Samsung, Toshiba & NEC Corporation - Research and Markets


Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "VLC (Visible Light Communications) Market-by Components (Visible Light LEDs, Diodes); By Applications (Smart Lighting, Indoor, Outdoor);By End-user industry - Forecast to 2021" report to their offering.

Visible Light Communications (VLC), a subset of optical wireless communications technologies, is an emerging area of broadband transmission technology which uses light in the visible region (780-375nm) to transfer data. Through rapid flickering of advanced LED's, streams of data can be encoded and transmitted.

VLC has a lot of advantages over other forms of wireless communications in the way that it does not interfere with radio frequency (RF) electronics and has no associated health concerns, thereby making it suitable for use in hospitals and aircrafts. The potential for VLC is huge and researches are working on it to overcome many of the technical challenges that the VLC market is facing.

They re even confident that further researches on this technology can lead to VLC being eventually accepted as an integral part of our infrastructure. The report study includes the detailed demand analysis of VLC market on a global and regional scale for a five-year period of 2016-2021, both in terms of production volume (Units) and revenue ($billion).



Japan has shown a pioneering improvement in VLC technology. Even the U.S has invested a huge amount in this market and presently, the Chinese Government has thought of investing a large sum to integrate this technology into aircrafts. APAC region is expected to be the market leader in the VLC market owing to the recent technological developments and increased R&D activities.
