A "drop" in demand with the consumer market?
There was an apparent regression of 7.3%. Specifically, less consumer spending on wireless LAN.
And yet, there was a 16% increase in consumer sales in 2020!
The reason? Upgrades of residential equipment.
The pandemic situation has encouraged an upgrade in hardware and solutions for Wi-Fi.
However, sales were already up 12.9% compared to 2019, pre-Covid period.
Less strong growth in the first half of 2021, but with an amount of 20% if compared to the last quarter of 2019.
The demand has therefore remained strong for the general public!
