The Wi-Fi chipset market size is projected to reach USD 25.2 billion by 2026; it is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.


The ownership of connected devices across the world is expected to grow at a significantly high rate during the forecast period and is attributed to the growth of IoT. The enormous growth of connected devices would require higher data throughput and bandwidth, and broader coverage, which is likely to increase congestion over the mobile network during the forecast period. To tackle this situation and to make a positive impact on the dynamic telecom environment, the adoption of Wi-Fi hotspot solutions by communication service providers and network operators is expected to rise significantly in the coming years.

Expanding use of Wi-Fi in enterprises and businesses


Enterprises and businesses of all sizes, across segments and verticals, are increasingly shifting toward a Wi-Fi-based customer engagement model. Wi-Fi hotspots at coffee shops, airports, hotels, buses, trains, sports stadiums, and retail stores are used for customer engagement and customer relationship management. The commercial complex that offers free Wi-Fi connectivity is gaining high popularity among consumers.


Fall in shipments of PCs and tablets


Despite the growth of the overall consumer electronics segment the shipment of PCs and tablets is expected to witness negligible growth, affected largely by the improved performance of phablets and falling prices of smartphones. The low-cost manufacturing of smartphones in China has played an important role in the increased shipment of smartphones in this region. Cost-conscious customers in developing countries of Asia Pacific prefer phablets over costly tablets. Moreover, the replacement cycle of tablets and PCs is higher compared to smartphones. This is leading to the decline in the growth of the PC and tablet market.
