The wi fi 7 market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of Wi-Fi 7 has witnessed a massive expansion in the past few years. Its growth is projected to increase from $1.67 billion in 2024 to $2.76 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 65.6%.
This surge during the historical period is due to factors such as the growing demand for energy conservation, the escalating need for data-intensive operations, the rise of the digital age, enhanced internet accessibility, and increasing data traffic.
The wi fi 7 market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, we can anticipate a rapid expansion in the Wi-Fi 7 market, with projections placing its value at $20.58 billion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 65.3%.
This surge during the aforementioned period is anticipated due to increasing demands for intelligent consumer electronics, growing utilization of connected devices, the rise of smart cities, an increasing pool of smartphone users, and the expanding number of Internet of Things devices. Key trends for this period include the development of superior Wi-Fi chipsets, technological improvements, advancements in Industry 4.0 and smart technologies, critical integration for smart city programs, and cooperation with 5G networks.
The growth of the wi-fi 7 market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing utilization of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a system of closely connected physical devices which are capable of communicating and transferring data amongst themselves via internet. The widespread incorporation of IoT across various sectors is a result of the emerging usage of connected devices, progressive sensor technology, and the broadening of high-speed internet infrastructure. Wi-fi 7, with its enhanced connectivity, faster data transfer rates, and lower latency, supports the smooth running and communication of numerous interconnected IoT devices. The Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), a non-profit organization based in the UK, reported in August 2022 that the global IoT connections are projected to grow to 23.3 billion by 2025, a significant rise from 15.1 billion connections in 2021. Hence, the increasing adoption of IoT is fueling the expansion of the wi-fi 7 market.
