Home Computing and Networking Industry to Reach $30.22 Billion by 2030 as Smart Home Adoption Accelerates, Creaturing Lucrative Opportunities Dublin, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Home Computing and Networking Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global home computing and networking market is experiencing strong growth as demand rises for high-speed connectivity, smart home integration and reliable digital infrastructure. The market is projected to increase from $21.85 billion in 2025 to $23.27 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. Historical growth has been supported by expanding broadband internet penetration, greater adoption of personal computers and laptops, increased deployment of home Wi-Fi routers and wireless access points, the rise of remote work and growing use of connected home devices.

Looking ahead, the home computing and networking market is forecast to reach $30.22 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.7%. Growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity, the continued development of Internet of Things-enabled home ecosystems, increasing cybersecurity concerns and the expansion of hybrid work and online learning. Advances in artificial intelligence-driven network optimization are also expected to support market expansion by improving connectivity, bandwidth allocation and overall network efficiency.

Key home computing and networking market trends include the expansion of mesh Wi-Fi and whole-home connectivity, increased adoption of edge computing within residential networks and improved interoperability among smart home devices. Demand is also rising for cloud-based personal storage, automated backup services and advanced home network cybersecurity solutions. As households connect more computers, entertainment systems, appliances, security products and mobile devices, consumers are seeking networking technology that can provide consistent performance throughout the home.

The increasing integration of smart home devices is a major factor supporting market growth. Consumer demand for convenience, automation and improved household efficiency continues to accelerate the adoption of connected technologies. Home computing and networking infrastructure enables these devices to communicate reliably by providing connectivity hardware, data management capabilities and network support. In May 2025, a survey of 1,006 homeowners and renters in the United States conducted by American Home Shield found that approximately 93% of respondents owned at least one smart home device. In addition, 42% reported that most devices in their households were smart, highlighting the widespread adoption of connected home technology.

Market participants are increasingly investing in artificial intelligence-powered mesh networking systems to strengthen performance and enhance the user experience. These systems can optimize network traffic, allocate bandwidth, identify potential security risks and maintain connectivity across numerous household devices. In September 2023, NETGEAR launched its Orbi 970 Series mesh networking system for modern connected homes. The platform features quad-band technology, a dedicated high-capacity backhaul, speeds of up to 27 gigabits per second and support for as many as 200 connected devices. Its expandable design also provides broad coverage across large and multi-level residences.

Strategic acquisitions are further reshaping the home networking and residential broadband landscape. In February 2026, AT&T Inc. acquired Lumen Technologies' Mass Markets fiber business for $5.75 billion. The transaction is intended to expand AT&T's fiber-to-the-home footprint, strengthen its residential network services and accelerate access to high-speed internet in underserved and high-demand areas across the United States. The expanded fiber infrastructure is expected to support advanced home networking applications and growing household connectivity requirements.

North America was the largest region in the home computing and networking market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to record the fastest growth during the forecast period. The market report covers Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa.
