Market Trends of Enterprise Routers Industry
Wireless Connectivity is Expected to Hold Major Share
- There are only about 10 to 20 users that can be supported by an ordinary wireless router. In contrast, the enterprise wireless access router point allows over 50 or even hundreds of users' access, with the potential to send and receive signals.
- According to Cisco Systems, the business internet data traffic volume in the United States is estimated to increase from 178.21 billion gigabytes in 2022 to 224.08 billion gigabytes in 2023. Such robust increase in IP traffic is anticipated to significantly drive the growth of the studied market.
- As a result of increased internet traffic and devices, the forecast period is also expected to see an increase in average fixed broadband speeds and internet users. To respond to the growing consumer demand, several market participants are developing and introducing cutting edge products. For instance, in November 2022, TPLink, the world leader in consumer and business networking products, launched an epochal product launch of WiFi 7 to communicate its solution for this network. TP-Link launched its latest WiFi 7 routers, Omada EAPs, Deco products, and Aginet products for ISP markets to cover all usage scenarios. TP-Link's new HomeShield 3.0 is claim to provide more reliable and smarter network solutions.
- In October 2022, chip maker MediaTek, a prominent player in IoT platforms and cloud computing solutions, announced a strategic collaboration to roll out 5G and Wi-Fi router solutions. The collaboration will make it easier for a broad range of solutions and significant manufacturing capabilities in India to be developed. The new Silboa product line improves the INvendis business and industry communication solution portfolio to consist of 4G/5G SDW radios with WiFI standards that support multiWAN 4/5, VPN/6, NMWAN 5/6, etc. from a variety of different types of businesses across various industries.
- In addition, there are only a few dozen meters in the range of signal transmission on an Wireless Router. Further distances of up to 100300m, enabling users to operate freely on the network, shall be covered by a wireless access router. In addition, the wireless router's networking model is quite easy and does not allow for much flexibility. In contrast, a wireless access point is equipped with different modes of operation including simplex AP, Wireless Client, Wireless Bridge Multipoint and so forth. A centralised management system, involving cooperation, is possible.
- Moreover, The M2M connectivity provides a broad range of 4G/3G Wireless Routers, Satellite and Shortrange RFWLAN Bluetooth Models. These Ethernet switches allow users to access and communicate with devices and assets, such as Remote Control Units, Data Loggers or Microcontrollers. The market in this sector has been growing as more and more users are using these solutions.

North America is Expected to Hold Major Share
- The market for enterprise router equipment is estimated to have a significant share in North America. The region has a strong foothold among vendors of network routers. Some of the companies that help to drive growth on this market are: Cisco Systems, Inc., Dell EMC Corporation and Juniper Networks, Inc.
- In the US, the growth of the network hardware industry is driven by the growing demand for hyperscale data centers. According to Jones Lang LaSalle IP, Inc., over the last decade, several companies have been scrutinizing the cloud to accelerate the digital shift but were held back by inescapable change barriers that come with business transformation. The pandemic served as a wake-up call for numerous organizations to take their IT infrastructure to unexplored heights and accelerate their timelines to become completely transformed enterprises.
- As per JLL, the United States is seeing a strong appetite than regions and accounts for approximately 52% of all data center transactions from 2018 to 2022. Additionally, the United States had 1,633 megawatts of absorption in 2022 for the six United States primary markets - Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Northern California, and Phoenix. In addition, there are 1,939 megawatts being built in these markets.
- As the demand for digital IT infrastructure persists to increase, hyperscalers and edge are anticipated to be the fastest-growing segments of the data center industry. The North American region is witnessing significant investments in data centers. For instance, in April 2022, Google spent USD 9.5 billion on new Google data centers and offices and unveiled a new USD 750 million data center in Nebraska. The massive new Google campus in Omaha, would consist of four buildings totaling over 1.4 million square feet as the demand for Google Cloud services and infrastructure is soaring. This would create increased high-speed IP traffic, which would spike the demand for enterprise routers.
- Further, in recent years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, the US government has started focusing on boosting its local manufacturing industries with initiatives like "Make in America," which is expected to drive the growth of the market studied. For instance, in March 2022, the US government announced that for the products to qualify as Made in America for federal procurement, 60% of the value of their parts should be manufactured in the country, which earlier accounted for 55%. The government plans to enhance it further to 65% in 2024 and 75% in 2029. Such initiatives would offer more opportunities for the penetration of smart manufacturing practices in the region, thereby driving the growth for the studied market.
