CPE vendors post a solid H1 2026, but the leaderboard is shifting

Technology

The customer-premises equipment (CPE) market delivered a healthy first half of 2026, growing 5.7% YoY (year-on-year) to $11.4 billion, up from $10.8 billion in H1 2025, even if part of that gain reflects a weaker US dollar from Q2 2025.

Broadband CPE (gateways, routers and home-networking devices) led the way with 6.7% growth to $8.5 billion, while TV and video CPE (set-top boxes and streaming sticks) rose 2.8% to $2.3 billion.

The trajectory is broadly in line with Dataxis projections for 2026, which anticipate flat set-top-box revenue and around 2% growth for broadband gateways versus 2025 (at YoY constant forex).
