Summary
The global Free Space Optics Market is expected to witness a CAGR of xx% over the forecast period 2020-2026 and is expected to reach US$ xx million in 2026, from US$ xx million in 2019.
Free-space optical communication is a communication technology that makes use of light propagation in free space to wirelessly transmit data either for computer networking or telecommunication. "Free Space" refers to vacuum, outer space, or anything similar to it. This is different from the use of optical fibers such as fiber optic cables, which are also used for communications. The signals which are transmitted using this type of communication are much higher in bandwidth and cost less than those signals which are transmitted using fiber optic cables.
Market Dynamics
Increasing number of smartphone users is expected to propel growth of the free-space optics communication market over the forecast period. For instance, according to Pew Research Center, 76% of adults in the U.K. owned a smartphone in 2018. Moreover, R&D in free-space optics communication is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in November 2020, researchers from IIT Guwahati, India, reported development of a novel free-space optical communication system for information transfer.
Increasing use of internet is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the free-space optics communication market. For instance, according to China government-backed Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute and reported by China Internet Watch, internet penetration in China reached 61.2 percent in the first half of 2019, with 854 million internet users at the end of June 2019. Moreover, integration of quantum communication with a novel filtering technique enabled by adaptive optics is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, in 2019, The Air Force Research Laboratory Starfire Optical Range (SOR) demonstrated quantum communication in daylight under conditions representative of space-to-Earth satellite links. A compact adaptive optics system was developed for this demonstration to allow quantum communication through-the-air in daylight.
