Executive Summary

Bridges facilitate the connection of one network to another, ensuring compatibility through the use of the same protocol. Gateways, on the other hand, serve as intermediaries that link two networks operating on different models, effectively relaying data from one system to another. Routers are physical devices, often akin to switches, that direct data packets based on their IP addresses, functioning primarily at the network layer.

Connectivity options in this domain encompass Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Ethernet, cellular networks, and other forms of connectivity. Bluetooth, for instance, is a short-range wireless standard used to exchange data between both fixed and mobile devices over limited distances. It utilizes UHF radio waves within the ISM bands, specifically ranging from 2.402 to 2.48 GHz, and is also instrumental in establishing personal area networks. These networking devices find applications in various sectors such as households, commercial enterprises, industrial settings, and transportation systems. In transportation, routers play a pivotal role in scheduling traffic flow on public networks, ensuring efficient timing and direction. Both indoor and outdoor end-users extensively employ bridges, gateways, and routers in their network configurations.

The growth witnessed in the historical period can be attributed to the expansion of networks, the proliferation of the internet, the development of enterprise networking, and advancements in telecommunications infrastructure.

The bridges, gateways and routers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.38 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including the widespread adoption of 5G and next-generation networks, the rise of edge computing, the increasing prevalence of IoT and industrial automation, and the expanding use of cloud computing and data centers. Additionally, significant trends expected in this period encompass the convergence of 5G and edge computing, the adoption of software-defined networking (SDN), the increased usage of IPv6, and the growing popularity of wireless broadband and mobile routers.

The bridges, gateways, and routers market is poised for growth, thanks to substantial investments in smart city projects worldwide. These projects leverage information and communication technologies to enhance urban services, covering areas such as transportation, water supply, and public safety. These initiatives are powered by a range of technologies, including Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Cloud Computing, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The successful implementation of these technologies relies on efficient networking and communication protocols, making bridges, gateways, and routers integral components. This integration with smart city technologies has created new opportunities for companies operating in this market. For instance, as of March 2023, the United States is set to invest $550 billion over the next decade under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), aimed at upgrading infrastructure, expanding broadband access, and addressing environmental concerns.The concept of smart cities is gaining traction not only in developed nations but also in emerging economies. There are more than 1,000 smart city pilot projects globally, with around 500 of these projects located in China. This global proliferation of smart city initiatives underscores the expanding market for bridges, gateways, and routers.

The growing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices is expected to be a driving force for the bridges, gateways, and routers market in the foreseeable future. IoT represents a network of interconnected physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and communication technologies to collect and exchange data over the internet. These connected devices are instrumental in data collection, analysis, and communication. Bridges, gateways, and routers play a vital role in managing the increasing data traffic, ensuring secure and efficient interconnectivity, scalability, and quality of service. They facilitate the seamless integration of diverse connectivity protocols, enable remote device management, support edge computing, and cater to the unique demands of IoT applications. With the global number of IoT connections projected to reach 23.3 billion by 2025, these networking components are indispensable for the growing IoT ecosystem.

Security concerns pose a challenge to the growth of the bridges, gateways, and routers market. Routers, in particular, are susceptible to hacking, which can disrupt and compromise communication. The telecommunications hardware industry is increasingly targeted by hackers, exposing security vulnerabilities. Despite companies' efforts to implement safeguards, data breaches and theft remain significant concerns. For example, there has been a gradual rise in router vulnerabilities since 2010, with three times as many vulnerabilities found in 2020 compared to the previous year. In 2021, 506 vulnerabilities were identified, and 87 of them were classified as critical. These cybersecurity issues present obstacles to the growth of the bridges, gateways, and routers market.

Companies operating in the bridges, gateways, and routers market are increasingly prioritizing the use of sustainable materials in the construction of infrastructure projects. Sustainable materials are derived from renewable sources and are procured in a manner that minimizes harm to the environment.
