The North America Li-Fi industry witnessed a slow yet steady growth in 2020 and 2021. Factors contributing to the sluggish growth include a rapid rise in unemployment, slow business growth, and a reduction in consumer disposable income. With the growing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers in the region delayed the adoption of expensive and advanced technologies, hampering the growth rate of Li-Fi technology. However, the regional market is picking up pace with the economic revival in 2021.

The ability of Li-Fi systems to operate without radio frequencies is driving their adoption in hospitals and healthcare facilities in North America. Electromagnetic radiations emitted by radio frequencies pose a risk to patient health. The visible light spectrum used by Li-Fi-enabled devices eliminates these health risks and offers safe & secure high-speed internet connectivity to patients and doctors. Li-Fi is increasingly used by pharmacists for real-time tracking of medical equipment and machinery in hospitals.
