COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Obstructed by Pandemic due to Lockdown

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-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.

There was a decrease in the need for high-end routers required to handle huge quantities of data transfer across traditional office settings as many companies adopted a work-from-home culture and reduced their physical office footprints due to lockdown policies imposed by the government in order to prevent the spread of viruses. Several offices and enterprises were forced to shut down or operate at low production capacity. There was a decline in the need for enterprise class routers, which are necessary for handling complicated physical networking infrastructure and provide powerful connectivity networks across a variety of end user industries, as more businesses moved their operations online and used cloud-based services for obtaining data with no the want for a physical office setting.

LATEST TRENDS

"Technological Developemnt to Drive Market Growth"

Over the course of the forecast period, the market is expected to develop quickly due to a number of recent trends, including the growing popularity of data analytics, the increasing integration of AI and ML, the emergence of 5G, the rise in the number of smart homes, technological advancements, and many more. In order to maximize network performance, identify risks, and enhance security, routers are using more automation and digital technologies like voice assistants, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Thus, in the years to come, the growing integration of AI and ML in routers for network automation, threat detection, traffic optimization, and predictive analytics would sustain the growth of the worldwide router market.
