Software is expected to be the fastest-growing component of the VLC market 

The software component of the VLC technology market is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2022. This is mainly due to the expected advent of two-way communication by the end of 2022, which would increase the installation of software as it would help to operate and control many applications and allow them to be enabled on phones, tablets, and many other platforms. The photo detector market closely follows the software market and is expected to grow at the second-highest rate during the forecast period. This is due to the requirement of almost equal amount of receivers as transmitters in the overall VLC system.

Americas is the major consumer of FSO & VLC 

The Americas region held the largest share of the FSO and VLC market in 2016. The huge investments in telecom infrastructure, government funding, and increasing military expenditure are the major reasons for the largest share of the FSO market in this region. In line with this, the government funding and deployment of several VLC systems in public as well as commercial places are the factors making the Americas a major consumer of VLC.
