Wi-Fi Chipset Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis By Type (IEEE 802.11BE, IEEE 802.11AX, IEEE 802.11AC, IEEE 802.11AD, IEEE 802.11B/G/N), By Band (Single Band, Dual Band, Triband), By Application (Consumer Devices, Smart Home Devices, Gaming Devices, AR/VR Devices), By End-use Industry (Consumer Electronics, Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance, Healthcare, Enterprise) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Wireless chipset is a part of hardware device that allows a device to communicate with another wireless-enabled device. It is used in fixed broadband wireless access networks that use point-to-multipoint architecture. Significant adoption of Wi-Fi in business, rise in number of internet of things (IoT), growing number of public Wi-Fi hotspots, and increasing need for high speed data transfer are driving the growth of the market. Additionally, many vendors provide Wi-Fi 6 and 6E products that are designed to deliver blazing fast speed and meet customers demand. Growing usage of internet and mobile devices among end-users is significantly high which plays an important role to boost the growth of Wi-Fi chipset market.

Rise in digitization and growing use of smart electronic devices plays an important role to increase the demand for Wi-Fi chipset. Over the last few years, the time spend by smartphone users on Wi-Fi rather than on cellular networks has significantly increased. According to telecom advisory services, in the United States, the percentage of time spent by a smartphone user on Wi-Fi jumped from 54.3% to 59.9% and in Brazil, the number has increased by 11%. Furthermore, government of various countries are focusing on developing smart city project and deploying free Wi-Fi to connect entire city is creating lucrative opportunity for the market growth. In addition, use of public Wi-Fi provides better access for education facility in a more accessible form which is expected to propel the growth of the market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON Wi-Fi CHIPSET MARKET

The COVID-19 had positive impact on the Wi-Fi chipset market. Government of various countries had imposed lockdown due to which many enterprises, automotive, retail, BFSI, and other sectors were badly affected. COVID-19 has forced many countries to re-examine social practices and production systems. The International Monetary Fund (IMF, 2020) estimates that the global economy will contract by 4.70% in 2020, however it will bounce back with 4.80% growth in 2021. Growing digitization across the globe is anticipated to mitigate the economic losses triggered by natural emergencies. Post Covid-19 offices, schools, and factories were closed to curb the spread of the novel corona virus. This has led to significant increase in telecommunication and in data traffic from households and businesses. Thus, it is analyzed that post COVID-19 demand for Wi-Fi connectivity for business, education, video streaming has significantly increased among all end-users and it is expected to drive the market during forecast period.
