The Global TV White Space Spectrum Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). The unused spectrum or frequencies between the active frequencies of the very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) spectrum are referred to as the TV white space (TVWS) spectrum. These channels, sometimes known as buffer channels, are generally made accessible for illegal usage in places where licensed services are not present. These frequencies can be utilized without interfering with the current spectrum, according to studies. This spectrum is used by a significant number of technology and telecom companies to deliver broadband Internet services.

The rapid growth of the TVWS spectrum market has been driven by the introduction of low-power devices and the rising use of TVWS for Internet access in various non-line-of-sight locations. In addition, recent market developments suggesting several of the favorable government rules for allocating underutilized spectrum to private companies, have provided a foundation for the market's growth.

The growing use of TVWS spectrum technology for enhancing Internet access in rural areas, as well as the high demand for low-cost broadband connectivity, are driving the global TV white spectrum market growth. In addition, substantial efforts by various regional governments to de-license unneeded spectrum have boosted the usage of the TVWS spectrum for a wide range of purposes. Furthermore, escalating efforts by different public safety groups, including the fire department, police force, and emergency medical teams that respond to accidents and natural disasters, to adopt communication networks throughout the globe have driven demand for the TVWS spectrum driving the market growth.

The term "smart grid" refers to a technology that combines computer-based remote control and automation with utility power distribution systems. These smart grids are intended to transform the present electrical grid by allowing two-way communication, therefore increasing the efficiency, reliability, and long-term viability of electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. However, these grids have several difficulties, one of which is communication between the control center and the smart metering placed at the customer's home.

Several businesses are leveraging TVWS-based communication to provide middle-mile connections to enable smart metering and other smart grid solutions to solve these difficulties. Because the smart grid application does not demand a large amount of bandwidth, only a few TVWS channels are necessary. Many countries have expressed interest in adopting this communication network due to the reduced bandwidth requirements. Singapore, for instance, was the first  country to use TVWS-based communication for a variety of smart community projects.
