WiFi 6 to take 80% of smartphone market by 2025

Author: EIS Release Date: Apr 22, 2022

By 2025, the market share of smartphones supporting Wi-Fi 6 and 6E is estimated by TrendForce to be over 80%.

 

Wi-Fi 6E was commercialized in 2021 and, in addition to supporting the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, it can also operate in the 6 GHz band.

 

TrendForce believes that the market share of Wi-Fi 6 and 6E will reach 58% in 2022, overtaking Wi-Fi 5 technology.

 

This adoption is primarily driven by the fact that countries such as the United States, Britain, Germany, France, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan have already used the 6GHz frequency band for Wi-Fi technology, as well as the support from the two major mobile phone camps, iOS and Android, and the active deployment of related industrial chains.

 

 

 

Shipments of Wi-Fi-based smart home equipment will grow at a CAGR of 18% from 2021-2026, connecting home devices through Wi-Fi into a core home network and driving applications such as AR/VR, cloud gaming, 4K video conferencing and 8K streaming media.
