The increasing adoption of smart connected home systems is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the inferior communication network infrastructure in developing regions may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Wireless Router Market Driver
The increasing adoption of smart connected home systems is the key factor driving the global wireless router market growth. A significant rise in the demand for smart home appliances, especially refrigerators, dishwashers, smart TV, voice assistants, and microwave ovens, has pushed the demand for wireless routers. Smart home devices can be connected to the cloud or some software component that lets them function on their own or based on a pattern or intelligence algorithm. These devices comprise wireless connecting devices and the IoT.
Countries such as the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, and France exhibit high adoption of smart home appliances. A major reason for the adoption of smart and innovative appliances is the use of smart home technologies, such as artificial intelligence-enabled smart home controllers and smart hubs that enable remote control of appliances. These devices require seamless Internet connectivity 24*7, which is enabled by wireless routers. Thus, the increasing use of smart connected devices in homes is driving the growth of the global wireless router market during the forecast period.
Key Wireless Router Market Trend
The increasing use of wireless routers in the retail industry will fuel the global wireless router market growth. Retail is a highly competitive industry. The nature of this business is such that many consumers have access to stores and, therefore, the risks related to security, safety, communications, and building automation are numerous. Remote monitoring and security systems, such as machine-to-machine (M2M) security system, plays a vital role in the retail segment as their use prevents unaccounted and accidental losses of inventory. The system detects intrusion and shoplifting, deals with fire and explosion, and manages a wide variety of access authorizations.
Retail store security devices such as security alarms and mechanical security are used to protect expensive merchandise. These are also cost-effective solutions. For instance, electronic article surveillance is a technology adopted by merchandisers wherein security tags are attached to the merchandise to prevent shoplifting. Retail security systems enhance traffic intelligence, inventory intelligence, labor efficiency, and on-floor and transaction visibility.
Key Wireless Router Market Challenge
The inferior communication network infrastructure in developing regions is a major challenge to the global wireless router market growth. Strong network infrastructure is necessary to ensure minimum time lag during Internet communications and live streaming. This includes making calls through Voice over Internet Protocol (video and audio calling) and live streaming music and videos. Several developing countries such as Bangladesh, the Central African Republic, Nepal, and Haiti are not equipped with the required Internet network or telecom infrastructure to support high-speed Internet networks.
In many Asian countries, 4G technology has just begun to gain momentum. As 4G technology is an important component of error-free and uninterrupted telecom services, the lack of availability of 4G technology can hinder the adoption of wireless routers. Many rural areas in APAC and MEA are still not equipped with 4G connections. Such challenges will restrict the growth of the global wireless router market during the forecast period.
