The overall market size for these Wi-Fi chipsets stood at $2.65 billion in 2010, which
phenomenally increased to $4.6 billion by 2011. The robust demand & deployment of Wi-Fi
chipsets in all digital consumer electronics was the main driver and, the majority share of
revenue being contributed by smartphones and tablet PCs. With increasing consumer adoption of
Wi-Fi enabled smartphones leading to the trend of rapid integration of Wi-Fi in smartphones by
the semiconductor industry from the supply side, the percentage share of Wi-Fi enabled
smartphones has increased at a tremendous rate over the past two years. It is expected to cross
95% by 2017, similar being the case for tablet PCs. This was one of the major reasons for robust
growth of Wi-Fi chipsets from 2010 to 2011.
On other fronts of WLAN, the concept of Wireless Display/Video with wireless transfer and
access of high bit-rate data volumes emerged over the past few years commercially, as an
upgrade & better alternative to faster, more efficient, clearer and uncompressed way of video &
display transfer wirelessly between consumer electronic devices. Though Wireless Home Digital
Interface (WHDI) was the pioneer in this field in 2007, the success of WHDI compatible chipsets
was short-lived in spite of standardization of WHDI technology and establishment of WHDI
forum. The market witnessed birth, rapid success and fierce competition among several novel
proprietary technologies such as WirelessHD technology by Silicon Image, Inc. (U.S.), WiDi
technology by Intel Corporation (U.S.) and Wi-Fi Display technology by Qualcomm, Inc. (U.S.).
