The global mobile Wi-Fi (MiFi) market is experiencing substantial growth, expanding from $5.63 billion in 2025 to an anticipated $6.81 billion in 2026 with a CAGR of 21%. This surge is largely attributed to increased smartphone penetration, remote work adoption, thriving travel and tourism, 4G/LTE expansion, and growing demand in underserved regions. By 2030, the market is projected to reach $14.41 billion, driven by 5G deployments, rising smart device adoption, and the escalating need for high-speed mobile internet and IoT applications.
The rise of remote and hybrid work models, enabling workers to perform tasks off-site or in a flexible location mix, is significantly boosting the MiFi market. These arrangements, which demand unfaltering access to cloud tools and real-time communications, are encouraging the use of portable, high-speed internet solutions that enhance productivity for dispersed teams. For instance, between September 2022 and January 2023, the UK reported a significant shift to remote and hybrid work, further bolstering the demand for mobile connectivity.
Companies within the MiFi sector are focusing on advanced connectivity platforms. For example, in June 2025, SITA SC SA launched the SITA Mobile Wi-Fi platform, aimed at optimizing connectivity for the aviation industry. This platform provides secure and high-performance connectivity, featuring automatic network switching, thus enhancing operational efficiency.
Strategic acquisitions are also shaping the market landscape. In October 2024, OptConnect Inc. acquired Netherlands-based Capestone B.V., paving the way for enhanced IoT offerings and expanded presence in Europe. Such acquisitions facilitate the creation of seamless global connectivity services.
Key players in the MiFi market include Huawei Technologies, Quanta Computer, ZTE Corporation, ASUSTeK Computer, Kyocera Corporation, and others. These companies are spearheading innovations in areas like battery efficiency and multi-device connectivity.
Although tariffs have increased the cost of imports affecting the MiFi market in regions like Asia-Pacific and North America, they have also stimulated local manufacturing and innovation, enabling regional players to enhance their market positions.
