Mobile backhaul and consumer electronics applications expected to hold the largest share of the FSO and VLC markets, respectively 

Among all the major applications of FSO, the mobile backhaul application is expected to account for the largest share during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing internet penetration and data traffic from mobile applications, including the Internet, video, and data services, which has grown tremendously with the proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and other wireless devices. Whereas, VLC market for consumer electronics is expected to hold the largest share by 2023 because many consumer electronics devices already have LED technology integrated into their user interface, implementing VLC connectivity is inexpensive and easy to deploy.

Photodetector expected to be the fastest growing component in the VLC market 

The market for photodetector is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during 2018-2023. This growth is attributed to the commercialization of bidirectional VLC. Photodetector will enable the Li-Fi to function as a bidirectional communication system (like a conventional broadband and Wi-Fi). Photodetector is the main component of bidirectional VLC that helps in detecting changes in light intensity from the LED light source.
