The mobile Wi-Fi (MiFi) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by the expanding deployment of 5G networks, higher adoption of remote and hybrid work models, increasing demand for faster connectivity, growing need for mobile office solutions, and a rising mobile subscription base. Key trends during this period include improvements in battery life, enhanced security features, greater device portability, advancements in wireless communication technologies, and progress in device miniaturization.
The rise of remote and hybrid work is expected to drive growth in the mobile Wi-Fi (MiFi) market. Remote and hybrid work arrangements allow employees to perform tasks entirely from locations outside the traditional office or through a mix of on-site and off-site work. This trend is fueled by the growing need for reliable high-speed internet, enabling uninterrupted access to cloud-based tools and real-time communication platforms. Mobile Wi-Fi devices support this shift by providing fast, portable internet access, improving productivity and collaboration for employees working from multiple locations. For instance, between September 2022 and January 2023, the UK Office for National Statistics reported that 16% of working adults worked exclusively from home, while 28% combined home and office work, reflecting increased demand for mobile connectivity.
Companies in the MiFi market are focusing on advanced connectivity platforms to enhance real-time data sharing and operational efficiency. Advanced mobile connectivity platforms offer reliable, high-speed internet for personnel and equipment, enabling seamless communication and data transfer. In June 2025, Switzerland-based SITA SC SA launched the SITA Mobile Wi-Fi (MiFi) platform to provide robust, secure, and high-performance connectivity for airports, airlines, and ground handling operations. The platform features automatic network switching and secure roaming, allowing teams to access cloud applications and communicate in real-time, improving coordination and productivity.
In October 2024, US-based OptConnect Inc. acquired Capestone B.V., a Netherlands-based telecommunications company specializing in MiFi solutions, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition enables OptConnect to expand its European presence, enhance IoT and managed wireless solutions, and leverage Capestone’s hardware, software, and partner network for more seamless global connectivity services.

The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.
