The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of smart city projects, growth of industrial iot networks, increasing adoption of edge computing, demand for scalable wireless infrastructure, integration of AI based network management. Major trends in the forecast period include multi protocol mesh networking, smart city connectivity solutions, industrial mesh network deployment, high reliability wireless gateways, edge enabled mesh gateways.

The rising prevalence of cyber threats is expected to drive the growth of the mesh gateway market in the coming years. Cyber threats are malicious attempts to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or data, often through methods such as phishing, malware, ransomware, or social engineering. As enterprises deploy more connected devices and adopt distributed network architectures, they face an increasing volume and diversity of cyber threats, which boosts demand for mesh gateways that provide enhanced network segmentation, traffic monitoring, resilient routing, and threat isolation across mesh infrastructures. For example, in January 2025, the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based international non-profit organization, reported that 72% of respondents observed rising cyber threats - including increased fraud, phishing, social engineering, and identity theft - while the cyber-skills gap persisted, with two-thirds of organizations reporting moderate to critical shortages and only 14% expressing confidence in their available expertise. Consequently, the growing number of cyber threats is propelling growth in the mesh gateway market.

Companies operating in the mesh gateway market are focusing on developing innovative, cost-effective products, such as Wirepas gateways, to improve connectivity and scalability for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Wirepas gateways are network devices that facilitate communication and connectivity in IoT systems by using Wirepas Mesh technology, enabling scalable and efficient wireless networks. For instance, in January 2023, BlueUp, an Italy-based manufacturer of Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, introduced the TinyGateway WiFi Wirepas, aimed at making IoT connectivity more affordable. This new gateway leverages the ESP32-S3 processor, offering enhanced flexibility and cost-effectiveness. With a compact design (7.5 x 7.5 x 2.5 cm) and low power consumption (under 1.5W), the device is ideal for IoT applications. Its installation and configuration are simplified with dual power supply options and an intuitive web-based interface.

In April 2024, Cisco Systems Inc., a US-based technology company, acquired Isovalent for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to bolster Cisco’s cloud-native networking and observability capabilities, allowing the company to provide robust edge protection for workloads across various cloud environments. This move strengthens Cisco's competitive position in the sector. Isovalent, based in the US, specializes in cloud-native networking and security, particularly through its development of the cilium mesh.

This mesh gateway market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

A mesh gateway is a networking device that connects multiple nodes within a mesh network, enabling communication between them and the internet. It serves as a central hub, allowing devices to relay data through one another, thereby extending network coverage and enhancing reliability. Mesh gateways typically support various communication protocols, ensuring compatibility among different devices. These gateways are widely used in smart home systems, IoT applications, and large-scale wireless networks.

The main types of mesh gateways include dual-band, single-band, and tri-band mesh gateways. Dual-band mesh gateways operate on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands to create a seamless and high-performing Wi-Fi mesh network, improving coverage and performance in homes or businesses. These gateways consist of hardware, software, and services, and can be deployed in both indoor and outdoor environments. Their applications include remote monitoring, asset management, predictive maintenance, smart grid management, supply chain management, traffic management, and more. The end users of mesh gateways span a range of industries, including energy and utilities, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, logistics, transportation, metals and mining, and others.
