India Router Market Trends:

Growing Demand for High-Speed Internet

India's growing dependence on online services has resulted in a huge surge in demand for broadband internet solutions. With more individuals working remotely, taking online classes, and watching online content, customers look for routers that can support multiple connections without interruption. Organizations, particularly small and medium businesses, also need robust internet for day-to-day activities, such as video conferencing and online transactions. With better internet speeds throughout the nation, routers offering seamless connectivity and broad coverage are increasingly demanded. For example, in February 2023, Siemens introduced its initial industry-ready 5G routers in India to catalyze digital transformation across manufacturing. Scalance MUM856-1 and MUM853-1 provide secure, low-latency industrial and automation applications connectivity. Additionally, consumers are becoming more cognizant of aspects, such as internet stability, signal strength, and network traffic, impacting their router selection. Multi-user households would like routers that can handle multiple internet activities simultaneously without decreasing speed. Further, rural and semi-urban locations are witnessing increased take-up of broadband services, which results in growing demand for routers that offer stable connectivity in areas with limited network infrastructure.

Shift Towards Wireless and Mesh Networking

Wireless routers are emerging as the go-to option for Indian homes and enterprises in place of traditional cabled configurations. For instance, in July 2024, Consistent Infosystems unveiled the CT-4GR DAWI, 4G wireless router with dual antennas, 5G SIM capability, Ethernet port, and advanced encryption that provides safe and fast connectivity even in distant regions with wide temperature resistance (-10°C to +65°C). Moreover, with the rise of smart homes, IoT devices, and hybrid workplaces, there is an enhanced demand for hassle-free, high-speed internet connections in multiple rooms and floors. Mesh networking technology is picking up pace in urban and semi-urban cities by providing extended reach, removing dead spots, and providing assured internet speeds. As opposed to old-fashioned routers, mesh networks employ a plethora of nodes to share internet signals effectively, ensuring seamless connectivity for big homes, co-working premises, and business facilities. The affordability and simplicity of wireless solutions make them appealing to consumers who want to upgrade from old routers. Furthermore, the growing adoption of video conferencing applications and mobile devices has increased the demand for Wi-Fi 6 routers, which provide enhanced speeds, lower congestion of the network, and optimized efficiency, transforming wireless and mesh networking into a predominant trend within India.

Rising Adoption in BFSI and Healthcare Sectors

The demand for secure internet connectivity in India's banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) and healthcare industries is growing as both sectors scale up their online operations. Banks and financial institutions use solid and stable internet connectivity to process online transactions, interact with customers, and conduct internal operations. A reliable and seamless connection is needed to facilitate digital banking operations, automated workflows, and real-time data transfers. In medicine, clinics and hospitals need constant internet connectivity for operational management, remote consultations, and patient records. The increasing uptake of digital health services has ensured that both rural and urban healthcare providers need uninterrupted internet connectivity. Both sectors also need internet solutions that are characterized by low downtime and consistent performance. With BFSI and healthcare incorporating more and more online services, the need for secure internet solutions that provide vast coverage, and consistent connections will keep increasing throughout India.
