(MENAFN- Comserve) Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan, Japan, Apr 09, 2021, 03:53 /Comserve / -- The report analyze market size, share, growth, trends, segmentation, top key players, strategies, demand, statistics, competitive landscape and forecast.
The wireless router market was valued at USD 9751.88 million in 2019, and it is expected to reach USD 15,442.6 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 8.4%, over the forecast period, 2020 - 2025. Wireless routers are known for including wireless access points that are used to provide access to the internet or a private computer network. Depending on the manufacturer and model, wireless routers function in a wired local area network, wireless-only LAN, or the mixed wired and wireless network.
- The primary factor for the growth of wireless technology is the regularly changing standards set for improving the routers. Wireless router technology has evolved steadily over the past decade, keeping pace with advances in standards set by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). These standards are updated regularly to improve network throughput in terms of maximum speeds and transmission capabilities.
- These upgradations have given the companies in the market the means to strive for innovation and successfully satisfy the customers' demand for higher bandwidth and faster internet. Increasing consumer demand for web-enabled devices and growth in the IP traffic are the key market drivers.
- Moreover, the increasing demand for faster internet connectivity among consumers deteriorated due to the high rise in the number of effective devices being connected. It is spurring the demand for wireless routers with appropriate connectivity.
- Further, the advent of IoT and changing consumer preferences toward the purchase of various gadgets and wearables capable of operating and performing a plethora of functions with internet connectivity is also set to propel the growth of the wireless router market over the forecast period.

- In the residential sector, the wireless traffic jam will only get worse with the expanding array of smart devices. This situation is placing an increased demand on home Wifi networks, from garage door openers to bathroom scales. With this trend, according to Linksys, a US company that sells data networking hardware products, it is expected that by the end of 2020, households around the world will have more than 10.5 billion devices capable of connecting to their home Wifi routers.
- For businesses, the priorities differ from most consumer users. Security, support, remote access, business-grade VPN, WAN redundancy, connectivity options, and scalability rank higher than absolute raw speed, value for money, or quality of service. Moreover, companies are introducing new products and strategizing to expand to leverage the growing demand of the market. For instance, in 2019, Tenda Technology launched its 4G680 wireless 4G LTE and VoLTE router in India. This router offers wireless data rate up to 300Mbps, integrates a 4G LTE module, and complies with IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards.

Key Market Trends
The Residential Sector is Expected to Register Significant Adoption
- The demand for the internet among various households has been increasing with the growth in connected devices. According to Intel estimates, the number of connected devices is expected to grow to 50 billion by 2020. Intel also estimated that the present average of 10 connected devices per household in 2016 is expected to grow to 50 devices, by 2020.
- Dual professional households use greater broadband speeds. According to a Telsyte report, a study on households in Australia, a peak of about 12 apps were identified for dual professional households and single or dual-parent households with children made use of at least seven apps. This is resulting in the need for higher broadband speeds.
- A majority of the households are being transformed into smart homes that require the internet to facilitate many functions. The advent of smart TV, smart speakers, such as Amazon Echo and Google Home, boosted the growth of the wireless router market
- Further, with local schools moving to remote learning and more parents working from home, due to the COVID-19 concerns, internet providers already noticed a shift in usage. Internet providers are aiming to capitalize on this opportunity. For instance, Comcast offers 60 days of free Internet Essentials service for household users that come under the 'low income category, for the package of USD 9.99 a month.
- Moreover, for the new and existing customers of the Internet Essentials service, the company is boosting the Internet Essentials speed from 15/2 Mbps to 25/3 Mbps. Comcast provides a free self-install kit that includes a cable modem and a Wi-FI router. This healthy competition amongst the internet providers is expected to drive the demand for wireless routers from the residential sector in the future.
The United States in North America is Expected to Hold Major Share
- Globally, the United States is one of the most mature markets for fixed broadband internet connections. By 2017, it was estimated that nearly 95.84 million people had fixed broadband connections. Furthermore, it was determined that almost 85.63% of the population had access to networks capable of speeds of 100 Mbps, depicting the need for high-band routers (as of 2017).
- The presence of major technological giants, such as Cisco, D-Link, and TP-Link, coupled with the high adoption of technological trends in the country, aided the market for wireless routers. Moreover, the fixed broadband market is mature. It is nearing saturation, with more than three out of every four US households anticipated to have a fixed broadband connection by the forecast period.
- Consumer demand for fixed broadband access is expected to record sluggish growth. However, due to the impact of mobile broadband services, it was estimated that over the forecast period, more than 3.3 million fixed broadband subscriptions will be added. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of smart homes, with 30 million US households, is also favoring the conditions for wireless routers.
