Figures from IDC show that the Western European enterprise wireless Lan market saw 77.1% year-on-year growth in Q4 of 2022, and 52.8% for the full year. This incredible performance was well ahead of the buoyant global picture for the sector, which saw the worldwide market rising 47.9% year over year to reach a highest-ever quarterly revenue of $3.35 billion. For the full year, enterprise wireless LAN sales grew 31.4% year-on-year, with revenues reaching $10.0 billion.

Meanwhile, Wi-Fi 6E revenues almost doubled from 3Q22 to 4Q22 to reach $209 million – that was just 7.2% of dependent AP sales, leaving plenty of room for growth as the newer standard is adopted more widely.
