WI-SUN TECHNOLOGY MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global Wi-SUN Technology market size was USD 1.3 billion in 2023, and the market is projected to touch USD 8.77 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.7% during the forecast period. 

The WI-SUN technology market is growing at a tremendous rate because of an increased interest in smart city solutions, smart grids, and advanced metering infrastructure. WI-SUN technology comes with a robust, scalable, and energy-efficient communication network that can link devices spread over large areas. The key applications are smart street lighting, environmental monitoring, and energy management; it becomes the central element in the development of IoT ecosystems. Further impetus is provided to the market by the increasing adoption for smart city initiatives, rising urbanization, and the need for efficient energy management solutions. Looking at the progressive development of wireless communication technologies and increasing deployments of IoT devices, the WI-SUN Technology Market is likely to grow at a decent pace in the next few years.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to reduction in travelling of vehicles

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

While the pandemic initially disrupted supply chains and slowed the concretization of large infrastructure projects to some extent, WI-SUN technology demand did not get too dented. This is because the pandemic underlined the need for reliable, scalable communication networks for smart city initiatives, remote monitoring, and utility management. The swing to remote work and increased emphasis on digital transformation further supported the continuous investment in smart infrastructure. Hence, against short-term challenges, the long-term demand for the technology remains strong, moved by the need for efficient, connected, and sustainable urban solutions continuously.

LATEST TRENDS

"Mesh networking to Drive Market Growth"

It enables smart cities and large-scale IoT deployments. WI-SUN mesh networking offers devices the capability to communicate directly with each other; hence, a self-healing, scalable, highly reliable communication network is developed. This will be very useful in applications such as smart metering, smart street lighting, and environmental monitoring, wherein devices are geographically dispersed. Another factor contributing to the growth in the adoption of WI-SUN technology is the trend toward energy-efficient solutions, given the very low power and long-range properties of this technology, making it quite suitable for battery-operated devices. The market is also witnessing increased integration of WI-SUN with advanced security features aimed at protecting data transmission in critical infrastructure, further entrenching its position in the growing smart city and smart grid sectors.
