Description Jump to:
The global wireless connectivity market size reached US$ 122.3 billion in 2023. The market is projected to reach US$ 321.7 billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.34% during 2023-2032.

Wireless connectivity refers to a computer network that usually employs radio waves to facilitate communication between network nodes and allows devices to remain connected to the network while roaming within the coverage area. It does not require cables, wires, and cords for connection. As compared to a wired network, wireless connectivity offers better mobility and provides superior connectivity to Wi-Fi hotspots at various places. Apart from this, wireless connectivity is easy to install and is a flexible and cost-effective solution that helps access information, updates the networks to meet new configurations, and reduces the utilization of cables that are cumbersome to set up and impose safety threats. Based on these properties, wireless connectivity is used by end-users to enhance security, perform tracking, access the internet, and link devices by utilizing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Z-Wave solutions. At present, it is commercially available in cellular machine-to-machine (M2M), satellite, and WLAN types.

Wireless Connectivity Market Trends

The growing proliferation of the internet and smartphone users, the widespread adoption of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled platforms, and the large-scale installation of wireless sensors in smart infrastructure are primarily driving the market growth. This is further influenced by the surging consumer awareness regarding the benefits of wireless connectivity and the escalating demand for low-power wide-area (LPWA) networks. In line with this, the favorable initiatives by governments to develop smart cities have prompted manufacturers to incorporate various wireless surveillance cameras for asset monitoring and smart lighting technologies, which are acting as another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and the extensive integration of near-field communication (NFC), ZigBee, and thread technologies are propelling the market growth. Apart from this, the emergence of fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks, the escalating need for Wi-Fi in residential and commercial areas, and ongoing research and development (R&D) activities are creating a positive outlook for the market.
