Description

The global Wireless IoT Chip market size is predicted to grow from US$ 14362 million in 2025 to US$ 36835 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% from 2026 to 2032.

Wireless IoT chips refer to application-specific integrated circuits (ICs) designed for IoT terminals and edge nodes, with "wireless connectivity" as their core capability. They typically appear as single-chip SoCs, SiP module chips, or key communication chips. Under constraints of power consumption, size, and cost, they integrate wireless transceiver and protocol processing capabilities (RF transceiver, baseband/modulation/demodulation, protocol stack acceleration, etc.) with local control/computing capabilities (MCU/lightweight SoC), storage interfaces, power management, and security capabilities (hardware encryption, key management, secure boot, etc.) at the system level. This enables devices to complete data acquisition, edge processing, and reliable transmission to other devices or the cloud, supporting full lifecycle functions such as remote monitoring, control, and OTA upgrades. The key performance indicators for wireless IoT chips are not simply computing power, but rather system performance under comprehensive constraints such as connectivity coverage, link reliability, power consumption and battery life, RF performance, anti-interference capabilities, certification compliance, and security levels. It supports various wireless standards, including short-range connections (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee/Thread, UWB, etc.), LPWAN, and cellular IoT (such as LoRa/LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M, etc.), to meet the diverse needs of consumer IoT and commercial/industrial IoT in terms of coverage, latency, throughput, cost, and reliability. In 2025, global Wireless IoT chip production reached 5,521.83 million units, with an average price of approximately US$2.66 per unit and a gross profit margin of 20.05%-55.26%. Downstream customers include Apple, Google, Amazon, Xiaomi, Logitech, Lenovo, Skyworth, Changhong, Haier, JBL, Sony, and Narwal.

From a competitive landscape perspective, core wireless IoT chip manufacturers mainly include Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Semtech Corporation, Nordic Semiconductor, and Renesas Electronics, while also encompassing key players such as Broadcom, MediaTek, Realtek, NXP, Infineon, and STMicroelectronics. In 2024, industry concentration was high, with the top ten manufacturers holding approximately 71.0% of the market share. The leading global manufacturers were primarily Broadcom, Qualcomm, and MediaTek, collectively holding approximately 30.2% of the market share; the second tier included Realtek, NXP, Infineon, and Renesas Electronics, collectively holding approximately 27.0%. As leading manufacturers continue to strengthen their advantages in multi-protocol platform SoCs, ecosystems and channels, and customer certification systems, market share will continue to concentrate on the top players in the short term. However, in high-growth regions like China, structural substitution will accelerate the redistribution of market share.

From a regional perspective, the Chinese market is one of the core variables determining global economic conditions and market share changes. In 2024, the Chinese market size was US$4,770.67 million, accounting for approximately 36.3% of the global market; it is projected to reach US$12,742.03 million by 2031, increasing its global share to 38.8%. Strong consumer demand will further accelerate local supply chain collaboration and the pace of domestic substitution, making the Chinese market one of the most competitive and fastest-evolving regions for products in the coming years.

In terms of product type and technological evolution, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) remain the most prevalent technology (approximately 57.3% share in 2024, projected to reach 52.5% in 2031), with advantages in ultra-low power consumption and a mature ecosystem. Meanwhile, the share of Wi-Fi IoT continues to increase (approximately 21.7% in 2024, projected to reach 23.6% in 2031), primarily benefiting from the growth in direct-connect networks and the demand for higher bandwidth. Multi-protocol interconnectivity, represented by Zigbee/Thread/Matter, is steadily increasing its market share under the trend of "platformization" in smart homes (approximately 9.9% by 2031), while cellular and LPWAN routes are more reflected in structural growth in specific industry scenarios.

From the application perspective, smart homes remain the core scenario for large-scale deployment, with a stable market share of approximately 34.1% in 2024. Revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 14.2% from 2025 to 2031, continuing to benefit from home network upgrades, increased demand for cross-brand interconnectivity, and the penetration of multi-protocol integrated SoCs. Overall, industry competition will intensify in the coming years, especially in the Chinese market, where price, delivery, and ecosystem integration will jointly determine market share changes. Long-term winners will primarily depend on low power consumption and RF performance, protocol stacks and software ecosystems, platform-based product iteration efficiency, and the ability to replicate success at scale with leading customers and channel systems.
