Global Wi-Fi connected device shipments are expected to reach 3.1 billion units in 2021, with nearly 50 percent on the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, according to a study from the Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute, a government think tank and research institute in Taiwan. Replacement demand and unleashed demand from work, study and entertainment at home will bolster Wi-Fi device shipments, the researchers expect.
Despite the covid-19 outbreak, the market demand for Wi-Fi connected devices is expected to remain robust and continue into the first quarter of next year. The new standard Wi-Fi 6 will gradually become market mainstream in the course of the year, the researchers said.
