Market Trends of Europe WiGig Industry

Growing Technological Advancement in Communication Industry is Expected to Drive the Market Growth

  • The growing technological advancement in the communication industry is driving the adoption of WiGig in Europe. WiGig, also known as 802.11ad, is a wireless networking standard that operates in the 60 GHz frequency band, providing high-speed data transfer rates of up to 7 Gbps.
  • The proliferation of connected devices and the increasing demand for high-bandwidth applications such as streaming video, online gaming, and virtual reality have created a need for faster and highly reliable wireless communication technologies. WiGig, with its ability to transmit large amounts of data over short distances, is suited to meet this demand.
  • In addition, the European Union's push towards digitization and the implementation of 5G networks has also contributed to the growth of WiGig. 5G networks require high-speed wireless connectivity for devices such as autonomous vehicles, smart homes, and industrial IoT; WiGig provides a way to achieve this.
  • According to Cisco Systems, the growth in the number of internet users is a trend. The number of Internet users as a percentage of the regional population in 2018 was approximately 82% in Western Europe, and it is expected to reach 87% by the end of the year.
  • The growing demand for high-bandwidth applications, the EU's digitization push, and the need for reliable wireless communication during the pandemic have all contributed to the growth of WiGig in Europe.
