Worldwide Enterprise-Class WLAN Market Shares, 2020: Enterprise Market Growth Remains Resilient

This IDC study reviews 2020 vendor revenue and shipments in the wireless LAN infrastructure market (excluding WLAN NICs) and shows the market's changes from 2019. Year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes from 4Q19 are also shown."The COVID-19 global pandemic had mixed results across the WLAN industry. In the consumer market, the sudden increase in employees working from home and students schooling remotely drove strong growth in the consumer WLAN market. Meanwhile, the enterprise WLAN market grew too, but at a more modest rate," says Brandon Butler, IDC senior research analyst, Enterprise Networks. "Organizations around the globe are looking to enhance their networks to support a variety of digital use cases. Enterprise WLAN technology remains an important connectivity method for these digital use cases. Combined with the new Wi-Fi 6 standard, the enterprise WLAN market continues to be a powerful technology for enabling connectivity in campus network environments.
