Asia Pacific Home Wi-Fi Security Solutions Market- Drivers:

Increasing use of smart devices and growing internet penetration:

The use of smart devices like mobile phones, laptops, tablets, etc. is growing continuously from the past few decades. The increase in scope and application of technology in various fields in almost all walks of life is driving the market for these devices. Moreover, the rise in internet penetration even in remote parts of the developing countries in the Asia Pacific region is the testimony to the fact that the requirement for data services is also rising. These factors would in-turn boost the market growth of home wifi security solutions in the Asia Pacific region. For instance, according to the news article published by ‘The Hindu’, Over 50% Indians have entered the category of active internet users. Moreover, the user base is expected to grow to a staggering number of 900 million users by 2025. This shows the growing demand for network services in the country which lays the foundation for home wifi security solutions to capitalize on and expand the market during the forecast period.

Availability of lucrative policies offered by wireless network service providers:

The demand for high speed data transmission has been growing not only in the commercial field but also in the households. The increasing digitalization of processes in daily life have made it necessary for the households to have access to high speed internet. Moreover, the lowering prices of data in the home wifi plans is acting as a he driver for the growth in the market. The advantage of stable internet connection, ability to connect multiple devices, low cost, etc. is driving the growth engine of wifi solutions in the Asia Pacific market. For instance, according to the news reported in November 2022, by Hindustan Times’ Tech wing, the rivalry between two of the biggest telcom players in the Indian market; Airtel and Jio in the wifi network market is leading to the price war in the segment. The Jio Fiber and Airtel Xstream are two of the leading high-speed internet solutions for households and the competitive rivalry between them is resulting in lowering of the data plans for the respective products.

Asia Pacific Home Wi-Fi Security Solutions Market- Restraint

Poor Wi-Fi network infrastructure of local players:

The wifi network market in the Asia Pacific region is majorly characterized by presence of low end internet service providers (ISPs). These service providers are decentralized and usually cater to a limited area. They reach the customers through various connectivity options like cables and optic fibres. Their infrastructure is generally not managed efficiently and there exist a lot of interruptions in the network. For instance, in an article published by Bloomberg, in June 2022, around 92% of India faces the issue of poor network connectivity. This is a huge number for a market like India and the role of local network providers becomes crucial in developing the infrastructure from the ground-level. This structural problem in the network system can potentially hamper the growth prospects of the home wi-fi security solutions market.

Lack of awareness about wireless network systems:

The demand for high speed internet and its penetration is growing day by day in the region of Asia Pacific. This growing demand is visible in the statistics showing the growth in active internet users. But, this growth would be least beneficial for the home wifi security solutions market if the users are not aware about these wireless network systems. The reliance on telcom operators and traditional way of accessing the internet means that the consumers are not aware about the cost-effective and efficient solutions of wifi networks. For instance, according to the article published in Telecompaper in May 2023, the lack of awareness regarding the wifi solutions like optic fibre connections is limited to around 50% population. This shows that the degree of awareness regarding wifi solutions among the general public is significantly lower even in this technologically inclined era. This could act as a huge factor with a potential to hinder the growth prospects of the home wifi security solutions in the Asia Pacific market.

Asia Pacific Home Wi-Fi Security Solutions Market- Opportunity

Increased awareness regarding cybersecurity and associated threats among the general public:

The home wifi security solutions market depends majorly on how the households perceive the threat of security and privacy of their wifi networks and the relative importance of the data stored in the devices connected to the network. Hence, the awareness regarding the possible network security threats like hacking attempts, unwanted access, loss of sensitive data, etc. The growing concern regarding the data privacy issues in recent times would naturally increase the demand for home wifi security solutions. For instance, in December 2022, Indian Government launched ‘Stay Safe Online’ campaign to raise cybersecurity awareness. This program was launched as per the norms under India’s presidency in G20 summit. The program aims at raising awareness amongst the citizens regarding the ways of maintaining safe practices as the use of social media platforms and digital transactions increase significantly. 

Asia Pacific Home Wi-Fi Security Solutions Market- Impact of COVID-19:

The covid-19 pandemic disrupted the business world because of the factors like country-wide lockdowns, temporary shutdown of majority of the industries, stringent social distancing norms, etc. The effect of the pandemic on the supply side of the home wifi security solutions system was significant. The major segment of this market is the hardware segment which includes the manufacturing and sales of components and devices like routers and modems used in the security solutions. These electronic components are majorly manufactured in China, where the impact of covid-19 pandemic was immense. The supply of these components was temporarily disrupted completely. This led to the scarcity of these components in the market bringing down the revenues of the firms operating in the market.
