WiGig Market Analysis

The WiGig Market size is estimated at USD 27.73 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 95.14 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 27.96% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• Technological advancement is the primary factor contributing to the market's growth. In addition, the rising need for the high-frequency spectrum, which contributes to high-speed data transfer, is another factor influencing the market positively. WiGig is also termed the "IEEE 802.11ad standard." The factors that propel the wireless gigabit market's growth include increased bandwidth demand, smartphone saturation, and the use of several devices that eventually contribute to the overall industry development.
• Public Wi-Fi enables achieving various smart city goals, which include bridging the digital divide, enabling the Internet of Things (IoT) based municipality services, and providing amenities for students, residents, visitors, and tourists. Apart from this, WiGig devices are utilized in different businesses to enable employees to complete work from many devices without the hassle of a wired connection. They are also used for efficient in-office networking, running bandwidth-heavy applications seamlessly, transferring large files and audio, and projecting graphics to a large screen in a conference room with very low latency.
• Increasing technological advancements in the communications industry are also driving the market. Regarding IoT services, WiGig enables high-speed local area connections between IoT devices, allowing them to share data quickly and efficiently. This can be especially beneficial for applications such as smart homes, where multiple IoT devices need to communicate with each other in real-time. According to Cisco's Annual Internet Report, by 2023, there will be approximately 30 billion network-connected devices in addition to influences, growing from 18.4 billion in 2018. 
• The rising adoption of high-resolution videos is driving the WiGig market. With the growing popularity of high-resolution videos, including 4K and 8K videos, there is an increasing demand for high-speed wireless connectivity to enable streaming these videos without buffering or lagging. In addition, the global development push toward digitization and the implementation of 5G networks has also contributed to the growth of WiGig. According to 5G Americas, as of 2023, fifth-generation (5G) subscriptions are approximately 1.9 billion globally. This number is forecast to increase to 2.8 billion in 2024 and 5.9 billion by 2027.
• However, the shorter operating range of WiGig products (typically around 10 meters or less) hampers the market’s growth. The short range can restrict WiGig's applications, particularly when users require mobility or coverage over large areas.
• The COVID-19 pandemic created opportunities for WiGig technology to support remote work and digital collaboration. However, it has also introduced competition from existing wireless technologies like Wi-Fi. Organizations in various industries are accelerating their digital transformation efforts to adopt remote operations and meet changing consumer demands after the pandemic.
