Anticipated increase in strategic alliances and M&As in the market space.

Technavio, a company that develops over 2000 pieces of research every year and covers more than 500 technologies across 80 countries, has announced the top five vendors for the global wi-fi extenders market in their latest research report. This report also lists 13 other prominent vendors who are expected to contribute to this market’s growth between 2017-2021.

Competitive vendor landscape

The wi-fi extender market is characterized by the presence of several, big and small vendors. Many vendors in the market space are currently shifting rapidly to optimize the IoT revolution. The increase in Internet traffic and higher adoption of mobile computing devices are driving the deployment of WLAN solutions. Enterprises including aviation, hospitality, education, government, and retail are deploying WLAN solutions as Wi-Fi technology supports high data transfer rates.

According to Abhishek Sharma, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on machine to machine (M2M) and connected devices, “The recent increase in the number of websites selling fitness equipment and monitoring the high growth potential of the Wi-Fi technology is attracting vendors to the global Wi-Fi market, which is intensifying the competition. Vendors are providing 802.11ac Wave 2 WLAN products at a negligible price difference compared to 802.11ac Wave 1 products, leading to low-profit margin. This, in turn, is resulting in merger and acquisition and strategic alliances.”
