The global Wi-Fi Chipset market is expected to reach USD 25 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The market is expanding as a result of factors such as the rising demand for WIGIG wireless technology. A comprehensive analysis of the market is provided by the global Wi-Fi Chipset Market report.

Market Overview

In almost every business, Wi-Fi has supplanted traditional internet connectivity. Customers are mostly drawn to wireless connectivity because of the readily available, simple, and quick services made possible by technological improvements. The most popular consumer electronics technology today is Wi-Fi. Currently, there are numerous Wi-Fi connection points in every home and commercial structure. A laptop, smartphone, and smartwatch are a few examples of the two or more Wi-Fi-enabled gadgets that every customer has. As a result, every year the number of Wi-Fi connections that each access point must support increases. In order to connect such a vast number of devices with fast throughput, multiple Wi-Fi connections would need more channels and improved spectral efficiency. This aspect is anticipated to increase demand for Wi-Fi technologies supporting MU-MIMO and gigabit data transfer rates, such as 802.11ax, 802.11ay, and 802.11ac Wave 2, which operate over a 60GHz spectrum. A Wi-Fi semiconductor chipset is a piece of internal hardware created to permit communication between one wireless technology-capable device and another. Mobile phones, laptops, personal computers, and other wireless devices all contain this type of Wi-Fi semiconductor chipset. In addition to these gadgets, Wi-Fi semiconductor chipset also finds extensive use in a number of automation systems, including industrial and residential automation. There are various setups for the access points. The most affordable platform is the 1X1 arrangement, which is typically utilised in less complex gadgets like smartphones, tablets, and generic modems. High-end devices, however, choose a 2X2 or 4X4 layout since it allows for faster data transfer.

Driving Factors

The market is expanding as a result of factors such as the rising demand for WIGIG wireless technology. A trade organisation known as the Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) was responsible for creating and promoting the use of multi-gigabit per second wireless communications technology that uses the unlicensed 60 GHz frequency spectrum. In 2013, the Wi-Fi Alliance absorbed the alliance. Several well-known technological companies are members of this alliance, including Cisco, Dell, Huawei Technologies, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, NEC, and NVIDIA. Compared to Wi-Fi, WiGig technology is more advanced in terms of speed and data transfer.

Restraining Factors

The availability of cyber and security threats is one factor that is anticipated to restrain the growth of the Wi-Fi Chipset market. Despite constant security issues and data breaches, the Wi-Fi chipset market continues to make sustained progress. The prevalence of sophisticated hacking techniques in the cyber network reduces the reliability of internet connectivity. Data leaks and hacking cases have been common despite security mechanisms like WEP and WPA. Wi-Fi connections provide hackers with an open doorway where they can gain access to sensitive data and incur significant damages.

Market Segmentation
