The WLAN controller market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.63% reaching a market size of US$2,355.062 million in 2029 from US$1,407.192 million in 2022.

A Wireless LAN (WLAN) controller is a network device that manages and controls multiple wireless access points (APs) within a wireless network infrastructure. Its primary function is to centralize the management and configuration of access points, ensuring seamless and efficient operation of the entire wireless network. The rising demand for wireless connectivity coupled with the growing adoption of remote workplaces by enterprises is majorly stimulating the WLAN controller market expansion. Moreover, the growing trend of BYOD strategy and the security concerns impacting various enterprises is further stimulating the market expansion.

High demand for high-speed wireless network

The need for dependable, fast, and secure wireless networks that can handle the rising number of connected devices in the office is what is driving the growth of the enterprise WLAN market.

A strong wireless network that can manage the rising traffic and bandwidth demands is becoming increasingly necessary as more businesses move their data and apps to the cloud. Furthermore, the risk of security breaches rises with the number of devices connected to a wireless network; however, this risk can be mitigated by utilizing the advanced security features offered by Enterprises' WLAN solutions.

The market is anticipated to benefit from the ongoing expansion of network infrastructure, the rise in high-speed internet usage, and the release of new wireless standards called WIFI6, or 802.11ax.,

Increasing data traffic

The need for data traffic has skyrocketed due to the expanding use of cloud-based applications. Businesses need dependable and quick internet access to ensure their operations function as more and more shift their apps to the cloud. Businesses can transfer data quickly and effectively thanks to enterprise WLAN solutions' high-speed data transmission rates, which enable this connectivity.

In addition, the rising number of devices linked to business networks has resulted in a significant increase in the demand for high-speed data in recent years. Employees now access company data and apps from a variety of devices, necessitating reliable and fast data transmission capabilities, which enterprise WLAN solutions can provide.

Increasing need for security

WLAN controllers help enforce security policies, encryption standards, and access controls to protect the network and its users. With the rise of cyber threats and attacks, network security remains a top priority and therefore, the WLAN controller market is expected to bolster in the coming years. For instance, as per the Cyber Security Reaches Survey 2022 by the UK government, around 39% of UK businesses identified a cyber attack in 2022 with phishing attempts (83%) being the most common cyber threat. Moreover, Microsoft countered around 1,955 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks daily in 2022. This marked a 40% rise compared to the preceding year's figures.

Increasing adoption of cloud based technology

The Internet of Things, data analytics, and cloud computing are examples of wireless technologies that are convergent and have spurred innovation in the global wireless LAN controller market. End users are also favoring these technologies over wired and cable management systems in industrial facilities. The Internet of Things has made it possible for data to be shared and transferred between independent control systems and other gadgets that need wireless LAN controllers for network management, like sensors, thermostats, and smart lighting fixtures. Cloud computing functions as an Internet-based server network that can store, handle, and process key sources of data about industrial performance and operations. The need for wireless LAN controllers that can process vast amounts of data and extract valuable insights is being driven by technological advancements.

North America is witnessing exponential growth during the forecast period

Due to the high rate of adoption of mobile devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones in North America, there is a greater need for wireless connectivity. The need for businesses to offer dependable, fast wireless connectivity to their staff and clients has propelled the expansion of the enterprise WLAN market. Additionally, the high rate of internet penetration—many people having access to the internet—led to an increase in demand for wireless connectivity, which fueled the market's expansion.

Due to the region's organizations adopting BYOD on a large scale as a result of the steadily rising smartphone consumption, adequate coverage inside office spaces becomes crucial. This could be advantageous for in-building office providers.

The market for WLANs is expanding as a result of the increasing rollout of 5G in North America, which offers faster internet speeds, greater dependability, higher security, and enhanced IoT capabilities. This increases demand for WLAN vendors' goods and services and opens up new business opportunities for them.
