The global WiFi hotspot market is projected to witness exponential
growth in the ensuing years, on account of rising penetration of smart
devices across the globe, serving an array of purposes such as video
calling, geo-tracking, temperature control, home security,
entertainment, and much more. In an era embroiled by state-of-the-art
technological advancements, the utilization of WiFi hotspots holds more
value than is estimated. A WiFi hotspot creates an area with wireless
internet accessibility, often used in places like airports, offices,
colleges, and coffee shops.
In the year 2017, WiFi hotspot market size
was valued to be more than USD 10 Bn, with an installed base of nearly
300 Mn units. Primarily driven by the growing number of public WiFi
hot-spots worldwide, the overall WiFi hotspot market is projected to
grow at a CAGR of 12% over 2018-2024. In terms of the geographical
landscape, Europe is currently the dominant region in WiFi Hotspot market, holding more than 35 percent of the overall share, attributed to the adoption of WiFi hotspots at public places.
Asia Pacific is another lucrative WiFi
hotspot market, which is predicted to attain a CAGR of over 15 percent
during 2018-2024, because of the immense proliferation of smartphones
devices and a giant internet user base in the region. In the coming
years, India will be a major contributor to the global market share, as
the Indian telecom industry has plans to roll out about one million WiFi
hotspots by 2019 year end. Reportedly, Jio, BSNL, Vodafone, Airtel, and
Idea, the leading telecom service operators, have joined forces to
install one million WiFi hotspots across the Indian territory in a
year’s time.
Considering the current scope of WiFi
hotspots in the public & private spaces, it would not be incorrect
to state that the WiFi hotspot market is set to emerge as one of the
most opportunistic commercial arenas of recent times.
