Description

According to this study, the global Free-Space Optical Communications market size will reach US$ million by 2031.

Free-space optical communication (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to wirelessly transmit data for telecommunications or computer networking. "Free space" means air, outer space, vacuum, or something similar. This contrasts with using solids such as optical fiber cable.

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%. In the same year, the fixed Internet broadband access business revenue was ¥240.2 billion, an increase of 7.1% over the previous year, and its proportion in the telecommunications business revenue decreased from 15.3% in the previous year to 15.2%, driving the telecommunications business revenue to increase by 1.1 percentage points.
