Key trends expected during this period include sustained government support, continued global population growth and urbanization, a growing demand for smart connected devices, and an increased focus on industrial automation.

The escalating adoption of smart connected devices is set to be a driving force behind the demand for the wireless mesh networks (WMN) market in the foreseeable future. Smart-connected devices, utilizing various wireless protocols such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, rely on wireless mesh networks to connect enabled devices to the broader network. Consequently, the proliferation of smart connected devices is expected to generate increased demand for wireless mesh networks. Notably, in May 2022, data from IoT Analytics GmbH, a Germany-based provider of IoT data analysis, projects a significant 18% surge in global IoT-connected devices, reaching 14.4 billion in 2023, with an estimated further increase to 27 billion connected IoT devices by 2025. This surge in smart connected devices is anticipated to drive the demand for the wireless mesh networks market.

Government support is poised to play a pivotal role in propelling the growth of the wireless mesh network market in the coming years. Governments worldwide are actively endorsing networking products and services, aiming to foster the development of innovative solutions within the networking sector. For instance, in August 2023, the US Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) awarded nearly $5.5 million in the initial round of grants from the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund. This $1.5 billion fund, part of the Biden-Harris Administration's Investing in America agenda, supports the creation of open and interoperable wireless networks. Similarly, in July 2023, the Canadian government pledged $54 million in federal and provincial funding to Rogers Communications, a Canadian-based telecommunications and media conglomerate, for extending high-speed Internet access to over 20,000 homes in 83 underserved communities in Ontario. This significant government support is anticipated to drive the growth of the wireless mesh network market in the coming years.

Technological advancements stand out as a significant and increasingly popular trend in the wireless mesh network market. Major players within the industry are strategically focused on the development of innovative technological solutions to fortify their positions. A notable example is Wyld Networks, a Sweden-based company specializing in affordable IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity on a global scale. In July 2022, Wyld Networks introduced Wyld Mesh and Fusion, a cutting-edge mobile content delivery platform coupled with wireless mesh networking technology. This platform incorporates advanced data analytics and geolocation capabilities, enabling the precise delivery of required content to specific individuals and locations through branded mobile applications.

Leading companies in the wireless mesh network market are directing their efforts towards harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize network performance. Implementation of machine learning algorithms that analyze network data and dynamically adjust network parameters in real time is a key focus. A case in point is D-Link Corporation, a Taiwanese networking equipment company, which, in May 2023, launched the AQUILA PRO AI M30 AX3000 dual-band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 system. This state-of-the-art mesh router, bearing the MIT (Made in Taiwan) quality assurance, addresses common Wi-Fi user concerns regarding coverage, speed, and reliability. Featuring a built-in AI algorithm, the AQUILA PRO AI M30 is poised to revolutionize the home networking experience. The mesh Wi-Fi system utilizes a special antenna array design to extend a robust Wi-Fi signal, enhancing spherical coverage and eliminating dead zones. This emphasis on technological innovation underscores the commitment of industry leaders to advancing the capabilities of wireless mesh networks.

In April 2023, Talent, a UK-based technology company, successfully acquired Integrated Design Techniques (IDT) for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition involves the integration of IDT into Talent's Traffic division, where IDT's solutions will become part of Talent's comprehensive traffic technology suite. IDT, based in the UK, is known for its expertise in manufacturing and developing multipoint-multipoint data communications solutions, with a focus on wireless mesh network solutions.
