Wi-Fi Market by Component (Solutions (Access Points and WLAN Controllers) and Services (Network Planning and Design)), Density (High-Density Wi-Fi and Enterprise-Class Wi-Fi), Vertical, and Region - Global Forecast to 2022

The global Wi-Fi market size was USD 5.12 Billion in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 15.60 Billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 21.2% during the forecast period.

Years considered for the report:

• Base Year: 2016
• Estimated Year: 2017
• Projected Year: 2022
• Forecast period: 2017–2022

Objectives of the Study:

The main objective of this report is to define, describe, and forecast the Wi-Fi market by component (solutions and services), by density, by vertical, and by region. The report provides detailed information about the major factors (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges) influencing the growth of the market. The report forecasts the market size with respect to 5 main regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America. The report profiles the key players and comprehensively analyzes their core competencies. It also tracks and analyzes the competitive developments, such as mergers and acquisitions, new product developments, and Research and Development (R&D) activities, in the market.

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the Wi-Fi market began with the collection and analysis of the data on the key vendors’ product offerings and business strategies from secondary sources, such as D&B Hoovers, 10K Wizard, Bloomberg, Thomson StreetEvents, Factiva, IT service providers, technology providers, press releases, investor presentations of companies, white papers, technology journals, certified publications, and articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases. Vendor offerings have also been taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the total market size of the Wi-Fi market from the revenue of the key Wi-Fi solutions and service providers. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments, which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key people, such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), directors, and executives.

The Wi-Fi market is expected to grow from USD 5.96 Billion in 2017 to USD 15.60 Billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 21.2% during the forecast period. Several factors, such as the proliferation of mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, and laptops) leading to the rapid adoption of IoT and BYOD within enterprises, are driving the Wi-Fi market. The adoption of Wi-Fi solutions and services is high in verticals, such as education, retail, hospitality, government, and sports and leisure; and this is expected to boost the growth of the overall market.

The global Wi-Fi market is segmented by component (solutions [access points, WLAN controllers, wireless hotspot gateways and others such as routers, switches, repeaters, extenders, and antennas], services [network planning and design, support, installation, and survey and analysis]), by density (high-density Wi-Fi and enterprise-class Wi-Fi), by vertical (education, retail, hospitality, government, sports and leisure, healthcare, transportation and others including BFSI, oil and gas, and military and defense), and by region.

The education vertical is expected to hold the largest market size, whereas the sports and leisure vertical is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Learning technology has assisted schools and universities in offering seamless and efficient eLearning solutions to their educators and students. These technologies demand continuous and efficient connectivity solutions, such as Wi-Fi. The sports and leisure vertical is expected to grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period, due to the rising significance of Wi-Fi solutions and services in the high-density environments, such as stadiums, public parks, and museums.

The global Wi-Fi market has been segmented on the basis of regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America, to provide a region-specific analysis in the report. North America is expected to hold the largest market size and is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. With an increase in the implementation of BYOD and IoT among various verticals, such as education, retail, hospitality, and sports and leisure, the Wi-Fi market is set to grow at a significant rate in the developed economies, such as the US and Canada. Due to this, companies are willing to invest in the North American region. Leading vendors of Wi-Fi solution and services have a major presence in the North American region. Hence, the competition is intense among the major market players.

The major vendors offering Wi-Fi solutions and services across the globe are Cisco (US), Aruba (US), Ruckus Wireless (US), Juniper Networks (US), Ericsson (Sweden), Panasonic (Japan), Huawei (China), Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (France), Netgear (US), Aerohive Networks (US), and Riverbed Technology (US). These vendors have adopted various organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as new product launches, partnerships, and collaborations, to further enhance their position in the Wi-Fi market.
