Infonetics: MoCA Heating up Home Networking Device Market; 802.11ac/n WiFi Broadband Routers on the Rise

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its latest Home Networking Devices vendor market share and forecast report, which tracks residential gateways; broadband routers; HomePlug Powerline adapters; multimedia over coax (MoCA) set-top boxes (STBs), optical network terminals (ONTs), and coax-Ethernet adapters; and HPNA/G.hn adapters.

ANALYST NOTE

“MoCA (multimedia over coax) is again driving growth in the home networking device market, particularly shipments of video gateways in North America,” notes Jeff Heynen, directing analyst for broadband access and pay TV at Infonetics Research. “Deployments of cable and satellite STBs with integrated MoCA are slowly reaching a boil, and we expect DirecTV’s Genie, Dish’s Hopper, and Comcast’s XG1 set tops to see increased shipments throughout 2013 and beyond.”

HOME NETWORKING MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• The global home networking device market totaled $4.9 billion in the second half of 2012 (2H12), a 5% increase over the first half of 2012 (1H12)
• Sales of set-top boxes with embedded MoCA technology grew 23% in 2H12, while MoCA adapters, though still shipping in small amounts, soared 129%
• Broadband router revenue grew 6% in 2H12, thanks to shipments of higher-end 802.11sc and 802.11n WiFi routers in North America and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa)
• In the race for broadband router revenue market share, Actiontec saw the biggest jump, up 30% from 1H12
• North America is the home networking device revenue share leader, capturing 45% of global 2H12 revenue
• Infonetics expects MoCA STBs to account for 46% of home networking device sales by 2017
