North America is estimated to contribute 32% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The deployment of wireless access points is witnessing an increase in the number of enterprises in North America, especially in developed economies such as the US and Canada. In the US, which is a major market in the region, the IT sector is expected to grow due to an increase in the adoption of IoT technology in the US, which requires many wireless access points in the enterprise.
In addition, the growing popularity of smartphones is increasing the demand for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) solutions across the region. In addition, the raised demand for 5G network acceleration is enabling firms and telecom component providers in the region to develop advanced telecom infrastructure and related components, which will drive the growth of the regional wireless access point market during the forecast period
The market is expanding rapidly, driven by the increasing demand for wireless network connectivity in various environments. Connected devices in offices, homes, and public places require robust Wi-Fi technology for seamless connectivity. Technical expertise in deploying and managing wireless networks, including transceivers, routers, and range extenders, is crucial. Power over Ethernet (PoE+) is increasingly used to simplify installation. With the advent of 5G technology and the proliferation of IoT devices, the market is poised for significant growth. Industries such as healthcare and education are adopting wireless access points to enable digital initiatives, such as smart homes and connected classrooms while ensuring security against evolving security threats. The introduction of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E further enhances wireless network performance and capacity, meeting the needs of modern consumers and businesses.
The increase in development of smart cities is the key factor driving market growth. Governments worldwide are investing in the establishment of smart cities or interconnected urban hubs. This requires the implementation of public Wi-Fi networks to deliver essential services like safety, education access, waste management, and healthcare. Residents can easily access these services using their cell phones and tablets via public Wi-Fi networks, driving a surge in demand for wireless access points in smart city setups.
Moreover, the development of smart cities aims to enhance economic growth and living standards through technologies like Wi-Fi connectivity. These cities integrate databases and network systems with cameras, sensors, and control systems to efficiently allocate services, manage traffic and inventory, and facilitate information transfer. Consequently, the evolution of smart cities is anticipated to propel significant growth in the market throughout the forecast period.
An increase in 5G investments is the primary trend shaping market growth. 5G is the next generation of communication technology, following 4G, and on commercialization, 5G will support data download speeds of 10,000 Mbps. There have been numerous investments in 5G across the globe.
In addition, worldwide 5G network infrastructure revenue grew 39% to a total of USD 19.1 billion in 2021, up from USD 13.7 billion in 2020. The rising investments in 5G are creating demand for 5G network infrastructure. This is expected to drive the growth of the global wireless access point market during the forecast period.
Latency issues regarding infrastructure for internet connectivity is a challenge that affects market growth. Although many countries, such as the US, the UK, and Japan, have advanced internet infrastructure, other countries lack the basic infrastructure for internet connectivity. In suburban areas and highways, where the quality of the network is usually poor, mobile network operators need to build solutions to offer connectivity to IoT devices in these areas. This challenge has the highest impact on the consumer segment, as individual consumers cannot have access to high-speed Internet everywhere.
Moreover, low internet speeds and latency (time taken by the data packet to travel between devices in a network) are affecting the adoption of routers and APs among consumers. Besides, in countries with lower internet speeds, such as Yemen, Cuba, and Sudan, the adoption of wireless APs is slow, which creates latency issues and is expected to impede the growth of the global wireless access point market during the forecast period.
