The wi-fi chipset market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.12 billion in 2023 to $23.57 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including the proliferation of wireless devices, advancements in technology standards, the rise of wireless networking, and the growth of smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These factors collectively contributed to the historical expansion of Wi-Fi chipsets.
The wi-fi chipset market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.41 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the adoption of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, integration with 5G and coexistence, the expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 applications, the prevalence of remote work and distance learning, and the development of smart cities and public Wi-Fi infrastructure. Key trends in the forecast period are expected to include 5G offloading and integration, enhanced beamforming and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technologies, the development of the Wi-Fi 7 standard, artificial intelligence-driven network optimization, and an increased focus on security measures.
The Wi-Fi chipset market is poised for growth, propelled by the increased adoption of smartphones. Smartphones, portable electronic devices connecting to cellular networks, rely on Wi-Fi chipsets to enable wireless connectivity, facilitating functions such as internet access, faster data transfer, local area networking, and data offloading. A notable statistic from February 2023, reported by Uswitch Limited, reveals a 3.8% increase in smartphones in the UK in 2022, reaching 71.8 million, and a projected 95% smartphone penetration among the UK's 68.3 million population by 2025. This surge in smartphone adoption is a key factor driving the growth of the Wi-Fi chipset market.
The growing demand for 5G connectivity is anticipated to further fuel the expansion of the Wi-Fi chipset market. 5G connectivity, representing the fifth generation of mobile network technology, relies on Wi-Fi chipsets to provide seamless indoor connectivity, data traffic offloading, and high-speed, low-latency connectivity. The GSM Association reported in March 2022 that 5G connections were expected to surpass 1 billion in 2021, doubling to 2 billion by 2025. With over 40% of the global population expected to have access to a 5G network by the end of 2025, the rising demand for 5G connectivity emerges as a significant driver for the Wi-Fi chipset market.
Technological advancements in chipsets emerge as a key trend in the Wi-Fi chipset market. Major companies in the sector, such as MediaTek Inc., are actively developing innovative products to maintain their competitive edge. MediaTek's launch of the Filogic 880 and Filogic 380 Wi-Fi 7 chipsets in May 2022 showcases cutting-edge technology designed for high-bandwidth applications in various markets. The Filogic 880 supports up to 36 Gbps of aggregate throughput, twice as fast as Wi-Fi 6, while the Filogic 380 is tailored for client devices, supporting up to 9.6 Gbps of aggregate throughput. These chipsets, featuring 6nm process technology and supporting crucial Wi-Fi 7 technologies, exemplify the commitment to faster speeds, enhanced performance, and reliable connections.
Major companies in the Wi-Fi chipset market are also driving innovation through the development of dual-band Wi-Fi chips to cater to broader customer bases. Nordic Semiconductor ASA's nRF7002, launched in August 2022, is an ultra-low-power, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 companion chip with innovative WiFi-based location capabilities. The nRF7002's versatility extends compatibility beyond Nordic host devices, demonstrating its potential within the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. This focus on dual-band Wi-Fi chip innovation aligns with the goal of meeting diverse customer needs and expanding market reach.
In December 2021, Renesas Electronics Corporation's acquisition of Celeno Communications Ltd. for $315 million underscores the strategic moves of major companies to bolster their connectivity portfolios and reinforce positions in the growing Wi-Fi and wireless technologies market.
