WLAN Controller Market size worth US$2,355.062 million by 2029
The WLAN controller market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.63% during the forecasted period, with a market valuation of US$1,407.192 million in 2022, and is expected to reach US$2,355.062 million by 2029.
A Wireless LAN (WLAN) controller is a device that manages and controls several wireless access points (APs) in a network. Its main role is to manage all the access points from one point to provide seamless and efficient network operations. There is an increase in demand for wireless connectivity due to more companies adopting remote workplaces hence boosting this type of device, as stated above; this would explain why it’s important to have them. Also, it must be noted that different companies have embraced the BYOD strategy and face security threats, another factor driving such markets.
Moreover, the tremendous growth of the enterprise WLAN market is being driven by the need for reliable, fast and secure wireless networks that can support the growing number of connected devices in offices. The high demand for a reliable wireless network that can accommodate the growing traffic and bandwidth is forcing more companies to transfer their data and applications onto the cloud. Additionally, the rise in devices connected to wireless networks has increased security threats; however, advanced security features from Enterprises’ WLAN solutions could be used as risk mitigation measures. Industry forecasts expect growth driven by expansion of network infrastructure, higher adoption rates of super fast internet service and a new class of wireless standards called WIFI6 or 802.11ax being introduced into the market.
Further, the need for data traffic has skyrocketed due to the expanding use of cloud-based applications. To ensure their operations function smoothly, while more and more companies are moving their software applications into the cloud, they need reliable and fast internet access. This is made possible by high-speed data transfer rates offered by enterprise WLAN solutions that enable this connectivity. Moreover, with an increasing number of devices connected to business networks, there has been an increase in demand for high-speed data transfer rates over the years. Employees are now using various types of devices to access company information as well as applications hence requiring constant and rapid data transmission abilities provided by enterprise WLAN solutions.
The WLAN controller market, by access point, is divided into three types- Standalone access point, multifunction access point, and controlled access point. Solutions for virtual control panels that are stand-alone, access point-based, and meet the needs of centralized, distributed, meshed networks as well as small and medium-sized businesses. Major users of WLCs include the IT and telecom, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, enterprise mobility, and residential sectors. LAN network system of the WLAN type is used by big universities and service providers to provide service for enterprise mobility. In fact, given the increasing number of connected devices, there is expected a demand for sophisticated WLCs and transportable broadband networks in future.
The WLAN controller market, by deployment, is divided into three types- Centralized, cloud-based, and embedded. Examples of wireless technologies that are converging and driving innovation in the global wireless LAN controller market are cloud computing. In industrial facilities, end users are also preferring these technologies over wired and cable management systems. Data sharing and transfer between standalone control systems and other devices—such as sensors, thermostats, and smart lighting fixtures—that require wireless LAN controllers for network management are now feasible thanks to the Internet of Things. Technological advancements are driving the need for wireless LAN controllers that can process large amounts of data and extract valuable insights.
The WLAN controller market, by enterprise size, is divided into three types- Small, medium, and large. Enterprises require network management solutions that can secure their networks and monitor their LAN devices to support their business-critical networking requirements. Small and mid-sized enterprises are implementing wireless access for their networks so that they can cut down expenses related to network management and raise worker productivity. The demand for wireless LAN controllers which provide centralized management and wide area coverage will increase as more small business and branch offices utilize wireless infrastructure. In a bid to regulate their expanding networks, they will quickly make use of these controllers to secure them too, apart from providing cost-effective support for an increasing number of APs.
The WLAN controller market, by end-user, is divided into six types- BFSI, healthcare, government, it & telecommunication, education, and others. Because of the increasing movement of employees around as well as digitization through digital platforms, BFSI operating costs have been lowered and customers have received special services. However, increased usage of networking equipment such as switches, routers, firewalls and access points has resulted from this shift. To alleviate their IT teams from the responsibilities of managing complicated networks of devices banks and other financial institutions are now using Wireless LAN controllers to help optimize connections across a network.
The North American region is expected to witness significant growth in the WLAN controller market during the forecasted period. The increasing demand for wireless connectivity in North America is due to high rates of adoption by mobile devices like laptops, and tablets against smartphones during this period. Businesses need to offer staff as well as clients reliable with fast wireless connectivity resulting in enterprise WLAN market growth The market’s growth was further stimulated by the high rate of internet penetration, or the number of people who have access to the internet, which raised demand for wireless connectivity.
Adequate coverage inside office spaces becomes crucial as a result of the region’s organizations adopting BYOD on a large scale due to the steadily rising smartphone consumption. For companies that offer in-building offices, this might be advantageous.
The research includes several key players from the WLAN controller market, such as Cisco, Aruba Networks (Hewlett and Packard), Dell Inc. (Dell Technologies), D-Link Corporation, Juniper Networks Inc., Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd (Samsung Group), Fortinet Inc., Zyxel Communication Corporation, Nomadix Inc. (Gate Worldwide Holdings)
