The
Wi-Fi chipset market
was valued at USD 15.89 billion in 2016 and is expected to
reach USD 19.72 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.5% between 2017 and 2022.
The upcoming
IEEE 802.11ax and IEEE 802.11ay that would be launched in 2018 and 2019
respectively is expected to be the major revenue-generating segment for the
Wi-Fi chipset vendors during the forecast period. Some of the major
semiconductor players in the Wi-Fi chipset market in North America including
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (U.S.), Intel Corporation (U.S.), and Texas
Instruments, Inc. (U.S.) are working with the IEEE for the standardization of
802.11ax.
Speak of
Analyst:
In 2016,
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (U.S.) introduced a prototype of 802.11ax that
demonstrates 4x downlink (DL) user throughput improvement by supporting 4 user
devices to upload data simultaneously. The strong R&D expenditure in
upcoming IEEE standards over the 60 GHz band by blue-chip Wi-Fi chipset vendors
is expected to accelerate the growth of the Wi-Fi chipset market during the
forecast period.
The Wi-Fi
chipset market is in its growth phase and has witnessed various developments in
terms of new product launches, agreements, and collaboration. The market
players are also focusing on entering into new markets by launching
technologically advanced and innovative Wi-Fi chipset solutions in both the
existing and emerging markets.
Companies such
as Quantenna Communications, Inc. (U.S.), Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (U.S.),
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (Bermuda), MediaTek, Inc. (Taiwan) and Texas
Instruments, Inc. (U.S.) have adopted new product launches, whereas Intel
Corporation (U.S.) and STMicroelectronics N.V. (Switzerland) have adopted
partnerships and collaborations as their main strategy.
Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc. (U.S.), MediaTek, Inc. (Taiwan), Intel Corporation
(U.S.), and Texas Instruments Inc. (U.S.) are the major players in the Wi-Fi
chipset market. These vendors provides numerous chips, which are manufactured
according to the latest IEEE standard. All such chipset products are used by
many consumer devices manufacturers such as D-Link Corporation (Taiwan), Sony
Corporation (Japan), Fujitsu Ltd. (Japan), and Toshiba Corporation (Japan).

The company
has launched various new products. For instance, in May 2016, the company
introduced the new “QCA4012”, a Wi-Fi chipset in its Wi-Fi product portfolio.
This chip has features such as dual-band support (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi
connection) and antenna support for extended range coverage. The company also
adopted the acquisition strategy. For instance, in August 2015, the company
acquired Ikanos Communications, Inc. (U.S.), a provider of semiconductor and
software products for home use. This acquisition would expand the hold of
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in the carrier Wi-Fi and wired connectivity
segment.
A wide
product portfolio has helped MediaTek Inc. (Taiwan) to be one of the leading
players in the Wi-Fi chipset market. The company’s product portfolio offers
various Wi-Fi chipset products with the latest IEEE standards. MediaTek, Inc.
collaborated with many companies to enhance its expertise in this market.
For
instance, in February 2016, MediaTek, Inc. and Ericsson AB (Sweden)
collaborated for Wi-Fi calling interoperability testing to expand the device
ecosystem. This collaboration would bring the advantages of Wi-Fi calling to a
considerably larger base of devices and end users, thereby helping MediaTek,
Inc. to strengthen their business. Moreover, the MediaTek, Inc. launches
products to stay ahead in the competition.
