The global WiFi Chip market size is expected to reach $ 62390 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 15.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
A WiFi chip is a chip used for wireless network connectivity. It includes components such as a radio frequency transceiver, a baseband processor, and an antenna. It works by converting digital signals into radio waves through the radio frequency transceiver and then transmitting the signals through the antenna. When other devices receive this signal, they convert it into digital signals, decode and process it through the baseband processor, and then transmit the processed data to a computer or other device. WiFi chips operate at frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. During their operation, a series of protocols are required to define their operating and data transmission methods to ensure interoperability and compatibility between devices. In 2024, global WiFi chip production reached approximately 5,504.4 million units, with an average global market price of around US$ 3.66 per unit.
In terms of product types, WiFi 5 chips hold a significant position, with a market share expected to reach 40.25% in 2024. Furthermore, in terms of applications, the Internet of Things (IoT) will account for approximately 43.01% of sales in 2024, with a CAGR of approximately 22.06% over the next few years. As a key enabler for AI, AR, and VR scenarios, chip inventory will accelerate starting in the second half of 2024, with mainstream mobile phones and PCs expected to be available in 2025. Regarding future developments, MediaTek has released a WiFi 8 white paper focusing on connection reliability, with the first devices expected to be available in 2028. WiFi 7 chipsets must overcome bottlenecks in IP maturity, multi-band compatibility, and RF front-end integration (e.g., SOI/SiGe processes). Domestic manufacturers face constraints such as high IP licensing costs (which account for 3%-8% of the chip price) and slow upgrades.
