The wireless communication chipsets market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the wireless communication chipsets market has experienced significant expansion. The market, which was valued at $22.53 billion in 2024, is projected to increase to $24.29 billion in 2025, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.
Factors such as the revolution in mobile telephony, the application of Bluetooth in consumer electronic devices, the emergence of 3G and 4G networks, the demand for devices equipped with GPS, and increasing access to the internet have all contributed to this historic period growth.
The wireless communication chipsets market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for wireless communication chipsets is predicted to witness robust growth over the next several years, expanding to $32.51 billion by 2029 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
The predictable growth within the timeframe can be credited to an increase in the smart home technology adoption, a surge in demand for low-power wireless alternatives, the rise of edge computing, the advent of wearable technology, and the implementation of satellite-centric communication systems. During the projection period, several trends are expected to dominate including AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning integration, adoption of Wi-Fi 6 and 6E specifications, a focus on energy efficiency within chipset design, amalgamation of diverse wireless protocols, and expansion in the sector of software-defined radio (SDR).
The wireless communication chipset market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing quantity of connected devices. These devices, embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies that allow them to interact and share data over a network, are increasing due to the growing demand for connectivity, the spread of internet-enabled devices, and extensive internet infrastructure. Wireless communication chipsets make the growth of these devices possible by providing seamless communication between them, supporting various wireless standards, and adding to the scalability and interoperability of the Internet of Things ecosystem. As an example, the Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3), a division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services' Cybersecurity Program, reported in August 2022 that nearly 7 billion devices were connected via the Internet of Things (IoT) in 2022, predicting that this number would surge by another 20 billion by 2025. Consequently, the increasing number of connected devices is propelling the wireless communication chipsets market's growth.
