WiFi-based network devices held the largest share in 2022
Network devices, also known as network equipment, are many types of electronic devices that are used in networking. These kinds of devices are initially deployed in computer networks to send and receive data swiftly and securely between computers, printers, fax machines, and other devices. Such devices are intranet or internetwork devices. Various devices are mounted on the device, like RJ45 connectors or NIC cards, while others are part of the network, like switches and routers. These specialized devices manage digital or electrical connections to execute their unique functions effectively. WiFi enables devices to connect directly to each other or to broad networks to deliver information. It is a key technology driving the IoT concept and mainly operates in the frequency band of around 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. WiFi is anticipated to be the leading segment, by connectivity, in the network devices market during the forecast period. WiFi connectivity offers the ideal performance, range, and overall value from WiFi 5 to new WiFi 6 and 6E routers, gateways, and access points. A WiFi router connects directly to a modem via cable. This allows WiFi to receive information from and transmit information to the Internet. The router then creates and communicates with the home WiFi network utilizing built-in antennas, therefore allowing all the devices on the home network Internet access. The wireless nature of WiFi networks allows users to access network resources from nearly any convenient location within their primary networking environment across commercial, industrial, and enterprise applications
Enterprise networking in application segment to register the largest share of the network devices market.
The growing necessity for businesses to go digital to remain competitive is expected to increase the need for agile networks and the value and importance of virtual and software-defined networking. This trend is expected to drive the growth of enterprise networking. Companies are focusing their efforts on updating their networks to boost wireless capacity. Additionally, they are investing in modernizing their system, which is expected to drive enterprise network growth during the forecast period. Due to ongoing technological breakthroughs in wireless LAN technology and high-speed Ethernet switches, enterprise networking is likely to grow. This technology is critical for creating smaller, more efficient chipsets and modules with additional capabilities. Over the projected period, rising demand for high-speed ethernet switches is expected to open up new growth opportunities for the enterprise networking market players. The enterprise networking segment is expected to pace up with the increasing demand for internet-based devices, expansion of cloud networking, and rising adoption of virtualized technologies. Such factors are expected to aid the growth of the network devices market for enterprise applications during the forecast period.
