#Captive Portal Market Expansion Supported By Key Demand Factors#_x000D_
The growing reach of internet connectivity is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the captive portal market in the coming years. This term denotes the segment of the population with access to the Internet. Captive portals help manage internet accessibility by providing free or discounted internet access in regions where conventional fixed-line or mobile broadband services are either nonexistent or too costly. For instance, figures from September 2023, released by the International Telecommunication Union, a Switzerland-based United Nations agency for information and communication technologies, show that about 67% of the world’s population, equivalent to 5.4 billion people, currently uses the Internet, an increase from 5.3 billion people (66% of the world’s population) in 2022. Consequently, the expansion of internet access is a significant force propelling the captive portal market._x000D_
