Wi-fi 7 Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Wi-fi 7 Market Analysis

The Wi-fi 7 Market size is estimated at USD 1.28 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 8.94 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 47.32% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• Wi-Fi 7 is known as the IEEE standard 802.11be. It works with several different radio frequencies, including 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz. It offers links at a maximum speed of 40,000 Mbit/s. The quality and resolution of video streaming are improved by 16 spatial streams and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), a feature of Wi-Fi 7, facilitates multiple link adaptation.
• The upcoming revision of the IEEE 802.11 standard, called IEEE 802.11be, is Extremely High Throughput (EHT). On top of 802.11ax, it will emphasize WLAN indoor and outdoor operating at pedestrian and stationary speeds in the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz frequency bands. It is anticipated that the speeds will match Thunderbolt at 40 Gbps.
• The throughput needed for video distribution will continue to rise to tens of Gbps with the introduction of 4k/8k video. Online gaming, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and other fresh, high-throughput, and low-latency video applications are also exploding. Supporting these applications over a wireless local area network (WLAN) is much beyond the capabilities of the latest WLAN standard, IEEE 802.11ax, because of the associated strict requirements.
• The IEEE 802.11 will publish a new amendment standard, IEEE 802.11be - Extremely High Throughput (EHT), often known as Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 7, to satisfy these growing demands. A growing number of customers are engaging in e-commerce transactions, web browsing, mobile learning, and other online-related activities, driving the demand for faster internet access. As a result, the wireless router, frequently utilized in laptops, PCs, and tablets, has become essential for human existence. Wi-Fi routers are mostly responsible for the rising need among consumers to stay linked to dependable Internet and for enhancing Wi-Fi connections in numerous nations.
• Moreover, the increasing use of connected devices in healthcare, education, business, financial services, and other applications is one of the key drivers of the worldwide Wi-Fi 7 market. Additionally, the market growth is positively impacted by small and medium businesses adopting a bring your device policy. Further, during the projected period, a surge in government initiatives for smart city projects is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
