Wireless home networking devices held the largest market share of around 62.6% in 2014. Wi-Fi, ZigBee and Z-Wave based home networking devices are expected to contribute to the growth of the wireless home networking device market in the coming years. The network line sub-segment is expected to take a higher market share owing to its popularity in developing nations.

By component, routers were the largest segment of the home networking device market, accounting for approximately 34% of the total market in 2014. Increasing adoption of Wi-Fi based home networking devices is expected to support the growth of routers, extenders, and adapters in the coming years. The application of powerline based home networking devices is expected to decline in the coming years owing to limited market exposure in the North American and Europe. The ZigBee and Z-Wave segment is expected to register high growth due to the increasing adoption of ZigBee and Z-Wave enabled smart lighting and security systems.
