A new industry forecast projects the Wi‑Fi 6, Wi‑Fi 6E and Wi‑Fi 7 chipset market to expand at a 13.3% compound annual growth rate, reaching $90.7 billion by 2032, as vendors race to support 6 GHz connectivity and multi-link operation.
Broadcom is named among the companies highlighted in a new industry forecast focused on Wi‑Fi 6, Wi‑Fi 6E and Wi‑Fi 7 chipsets, reflecting how the next wave of wireless upgrades is expected to be driven by demand in enterprise networks, the internet of things, and immersive applications. The market outlook, circulated via Yahoo Finance on Nov. 2, 2026, projects a 13.3% compound annual growth rate through 2032, with the category reaching $90.7 billion by then.
The forecast ties much of that growth to the shift from older Wi‑Fi generations toward newer capabilities. Wi‑Fi 6 and Wi‑Fi 6E bring improvements in performance and efficiency, while Wi‑Fi 6E extends operating capability into the 6 GHz band, which can provide more available spectrum for faster, more reliable connections in supported environments.
Wi‑Fi 7 is positioned in the report as a further step up, and the announcement emphasizes solutions that support both 6 GHz usage and multi-link operation. Multi-link operation, in plain terms, is a feature that allows devices to use more than one network link at the same time to improve throughput and reduce latency, which matters for high-demand uses such as immersive media and latency-sensitive enterprise applications.
The forecast also indicates that the upgrade cycle will not be purely technical. It says device rollouts will need to align with regulatory approvals and device compatibility, implying that network operators and device makers may face practical constraints when moving to new frequency bands or new protocol capabilities.
From an industry perspective, the report’s framing suggests that competition will likely center on how quickly vendors can deliver interoperable chipset solutions for a range of customer environments, from enterprise access points to IoT endpoints. By naming Broadcom alongside Qualcomm, Intel and MediaTek, the post underscores that chipset suppliers across the semiconductor ecosystem are expected to compete for shares of enterprise and connected-device spending.
Notably, the Yahoo Finance post does not describe any specific product launch, contract win, or operating update from Broadcom itself. Instead, it presents the forecast as an external market view, with Broadcom included among the companies that would benefit or compete in the category described.
For readers trying to gauge what this means for Broadcom specifically, the key limitation is disclosure. The announcement does not provide transaction details, sales targets, or revenue expectations for Broadcom, nor does it quantify how the projected market growth would translate into the company’s revenue within networking semiconductors.
What to watch next is whether semiconductor vendors, including Broadcom, provide more granular updates around shipping timelines, platform support for Wi‑Fi 6E and Wi‑Fi 7, and how regulatory timelines and compatibility requirements are being managed in real deployments. The most material follow-ups would be concrete evidence such as design wins and product availability for customers moving into 6 GHz and multi-link capable networking equipment.
Analysts have revised price targets after Intel indicated weaker near-term performance, yet the company’s contract-manufacturing ambitions remain the central upside storyline.
