A wireless chipset is a piece of internal hardware designed to allow a device to communicate with another wireless-enabled device. This type of chipset can be found inside computers as well as a number of other wireless products. Types of hardware that might contain a wireless chipset include wireless Computer (Notbook and Desktop PC) hardware like wireless local area network (WLAN) cards and external WLAN adapters. Other types of hardware that might include a wireless chipset include routers and any other wireless devices that transmit or receive a wireless signal.In 2024, global Wi-Fi Chipsets production reached approximately 23461 M unit, with an average global market price of around US$ 0.9 per USD/unit.
The Wi-Fi chipsets market is driven by the relentless growth in data traffic and connected devices, plus successive upgrades from Wi-Fi 4/5 to 6, 6E and now 7 in routers, smartphones, PCs, TVs, set-top boxes, smart home devices and industrial IoT. Global market reports generally size the Wi-Fi chipset segment in the low-20-billion-dollar range in 2024–2025 and project mid-single-digit CAGR to the early-2030s for overall Wi-Fi silicon, with much faster growth (low- to mid-teens CAGR) in Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 chipsets as enterprises, campuses and carriers refresh access points and backhaul gear for higher throughput and lower latency. On the device side, adoption of Wi-Fi 6/6E in phones, laptops and home gateways is already mainstream and Wi-Fi 7 is ramping into premium devices and high-end routers, while smart home, smart city and industrial applications add millions of low-power Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi HaLow chipsets for sensors, cameras and appliances; key vendors like Broadcom, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Intel and Realtek compete on integration (combo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GNSS SoCs), power efficiency, RF performance and advanced features like multi-link operation, OFDMA and 6 GHz band support.
Upstream, Wi-Fi chipset makers sit deeply inside the broader semiconductor ecosystem, relying on advanced CMOS process nodes at foundries plus RF front-end and packaging technologies. High-end Wi-Fi 6/7 parts are increasingly fabricated on 6/7/8 nm and 12/16 nm nodes at foundries like TSMC and Samsung to deliver multi-gigabit throughput and low power, while more cost-sensitive IoT and router chips remain on mature 22/28 nm and similar processes, making capacity and pricing for these nodes a key constraint. Chipset vendors depend on upstream supply of silicon wafers, photoresists, specialty gases and packaging substrates, and their designs integrate RF, baseband, MAC, security engines and often application cores, so they also pull through demand for RF filters and PAs, power-management ICs and memory from adjacent chip suppliers; because most leading Wi-Fi silicon providers are fabless, they are highly sensitive to foundry pricing and to the capital-intensive roadmaps of their manufacturing partners, even as they differentiate through IP, software stacks and long-term design wins with OEMs and module makers.
As a result, the Wi-Fi chipsets industry as part of the broader fabless connectivity-chip sector generally sustains strong gross profit margins broadly in line with leading players—typically in the mid-40s to mid-50s percent range on average.
