.jpg "The Global Wi Fi Hotspot Market 2018-2028 (USD Billion)")
The growth of Wi-Fi hotspot market is largely driven by insistent demand for tablets, innovative smartphone applications, and connected devices. From an application and content perspective, video, voice, location, and context proficiencies are growing aggressively. With the advent of technology, global hotspots are integrating flawlessly with conventional 3G/4G, fiber, and cable. The emphasis on the quality of experience is increasing, which is expected to lead abrupt increment in the popularity.
Increasing digitization, along with the deployment of smart infrastructure systems around the world, represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Wi-fi hotspots help small, large, and medium enterprises manage their networks at a relatively lower cost. They also enhance data transmission, provide access to various applications, and offer seamless results. Apart from this, enterprises worldwide are implementing the trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) that allows employees to work using their personal devices and accessing corporate network data and resources like email and applications. This can also be attributed to a considerable rise in the need for offering flexibility to employees on account of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, which is contributing to market growth.
The global Wi-Fi Hotspot market size is predicted to reach over USD XX billion by 2028. This can be ascribed to the increasing use of cell phones and smart devices. It offers new opportunities for key players operating in the global Wi-Fi Hotspot market. Besides, growing adoption of Wi-Fi hotspots by the retail cloud, hospitality and education sectors is affecting the market in a positive manner.
However, meeting the bandwidth requirement of the applications and security issues is hampering the market growth. Furthermore, mobile hotspot and developing economies of APAC and MEA is likely to provide lucrative development opportunities for the portable hotspot market in the forthcoming years.
