Wi-Fi 7 APs Surge to 11 Percent of Shipments in 4Q 2024, According to Dell'Oro Group

WLAN Revenues Turn the Corner on a Disastrous Year
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, enterprise class Wireless LAN (WLAN) revenues continued on a recovery trajectory, growing 7 percent on a Y/Y basis. The adoption of Wi-Fi 7 jumped by 5 points to 11 percent of Indoor Access Points; Huawei, HPE, and H3C gained share of Wi-Fi 7 revenues in 4Q 2024.
"The contraction in the 2024 WLAN market was the worst we have seen in over 20 years," said Siân Morgan, Research Director at Dell'Oro Group. "It was even steeper than the dip during the economic crisis of 2009. However, the reverberations from the COVID-19 pandemic are dampening, and we are expecting double-digit growth in 2025.
"The refresh to Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 is driving the current growth. Huawei and H3C dominated the early Wi-Fi 7 market, but in 4Q 2024 we recognized enterprise-class Wi-Fi 7 sales from over 11 vendors. We are expecting the rapid adoption of Wi-Fi 7 to continue into 2025," continued Morgan.
Additional highlights from the 4Q 2024 Wireless LAN Quarterly Report:
-- CommScope, HPE, and Ubiquiti recognized double-digit growth Y/Y in WLAN
revenues.
-- WLAN shipments to China and Middle East and Africa contracted, dragging
worldwide shipments to below the 4Q 2023 level.
-- Huawei remained the forerunner in Wi-Fi 7 shipments; however, with Cisco
expected to begin selling Wi-Fi 7 APs in early 2025, the position of
Wi-Fi 7 leader will be in contention.
-- The US Department of Justice has filed a suit against HPE, aiming to
block HPE's intended acquisition of Juniper. The suit's central
argument--that the WLAN market is too concentrated--is creating
uncertainty in the outlook for the Public Cloud-Managed WLAN market.
