The enterprise segment of the worldwide wireless local area network (WLAN) market increased revenues 43.3% year over year in the second quarter of 2023 (2Q23) to $3.0 billion, according to results published in the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wireless LAN Tracker. The consumer segment of the WLAN market declined 14.0% year over year in 2Q23.
Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, the newest standards in the WLAN industry, continue to drive growth in the enterprise segment of the market. Wi-Fi 6 Dependent Access Points (APs) made up 79.7% of dependent AP revenues. Meanwhile, Wi-Fi 6E, which expands Wi-Fi's use to the 6 GHz band of spectrum, saw continued momentum, with revenues growing 51.5% sequentially from 1Q23 to 2Q23 to make up 14.3% of dependent AP revenues and 7.7% of dependent AP unit shipments. Adoption of Wi-Fi 6 continues in the consumer segment of the WLAN market as well. In 2Q23, Wi-Fi 6 made up 51.6% of the consumer market’s revenues.
"The enterprise WLAN market continued its strong growth momentum in the second quarter of 2023, which builds on strong growth for much of the past calendar year," said Brandon Butler, research manager, Enterprise Networks at IDC. "A significant factor driving WLAN market growth continues to be the easing of component shortages and supply chain disruptions, which is allowing vendors to recognize revenue from fulfilling backlogged product orders. Meanwhile, the continued adoption of new Wi-Fi standards adds to market momentum."
