Global WiFi Access Point Market 2025 by Company, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global WiFi Access Point market size was valued at US$ 3652 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 5663 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.2% during review period.
WiFi Access Point is a networking device that allows easy access to the Internet over the air. Most access points look very similar to routers. An access point receives data by wired Ethernet, and converts to a 2.4Gig or 5Gig Hz wireless signal. It sends and receives wireless traffic to and from nearby wireless clients. An access point is different from a wireless router, in that it does not have firewall functions, and will not protect your local network against threats from the Internet.
The major players in global WiFi Access Point market include Cisco Systems, Hewlett Packard, TP-LINK, Sophos Ltd., Huawei, etc. The top 5 players occupy about 45% shares of the global market. North America and China are main markets, they occupy about 50% of the global market. Indoor is the main type, with a share about 80%. Office is the main application, which holds a share about 35%.
The driving factors of the WiFi access point market mainly include the following aspects:
1. Technological innovation and upgrading
