Industrial IoT - Central & Western Europe

In Central & Western Europe, the revenue in the Industrial IoT market is estimated to reach US$26.52bn by 2024.
The projection indicates that the revenue will exhibit an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2029) of 13.19%.
Consequently, the market volume is expected to reach US$49.27bn by 2029.
When compared globally, United States is anticipated to generate the highest revenue, amounting to US$86.70bn in 2024.
In Germany, the industrial IoT market is thriving due to the country's strong manufacturing sector and emphasis on advanced technology integration.

Definition:

The Industrial IoT (IIoT) refers to use of internet to control and optimize the industrial machinery environment such as the one found in factories, warehouses, and transportation systems. IIoT involves connecting machines, equipment, and other devices to the internet and each other, allowing them to gather and exchange data in real-time, and help in management of various aspects of industrial operations, including production lines, inventory management, equipment maintenance, and energy use.

Additional information:

The Internet of Things market compromise of revenue and revenue growth as the key performance indicators. The market consists of pure IoT revenues generated through the sale of hardware (such as sensors, chips, and other hardware), platforms (IoT platforms, security software and other software), connectivity (cellular, LoRa, SigFox and other connectivity) and services (integration &maintenance of equipment & systems). As an example, the pure IoT revenue for a smart security camera is only the component that makes the camera "smart" and connected, not the full product price. Reported market revenues include spending by consumers (B2C), enterprises (B2B) as well as governments (B2G). Revenues are allocated to the country where the money is spent.

The key market players include General Electric (GE), Siemens, Schneider Electric and Bosch.

One of the key drivers of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) growth is the increasing focus on Industry 4.0, which aims to create smart factories that are highly automated and connected. IIoT technologies can help to enable this vision by providing real-time data on machine performance, production output, and other key metrics, enabling manufacturers to optimize their operations and reduce downtime.

The companies’ investment in the “smart factories” has been on the rise especially as the labor costs are rising and the percentage of manual workers has been decreasing. The business strategy of offshoring its production facilities has been shown as not the ideal solution in the times of supply chain issues. A lot of manufacturers are considering returning to “nearshoring” or bringing the factories closer to the home bases and mitigating the higher production costs and supply management risks by improving the efficiency of their machinery and operations.

Data coverage

The data encompasses B2B, B2C and B2G revenues. The revenue only refers to the spending share of the Internet of Things components.

Modeling approach/ Market size:

The segment size is determined through a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, as well as third-party studies and reports to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as consumer spending, internet penetration, 4G coverage, and current and historical developments. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques but primarily exponential smoothing. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. The main drivers are the GDP and the level of digitization.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.

In the realm of technology, few concepts have captured imaginations quite like the Internet of Things (IoT). Coined in 1999 by British technologist Kevin Ashton, IoT envisioned a future where a vast network of interconnected objects would collect and analyze data, enabling them to perform tasks autonomously. While the idea seemed more like science fiction at the time, today, IoT is no longer a hypothetical concept but a rapidly unfolding reality. Thanks to the development of communication technologies such as 5G and data analytics using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, IoT has applications varying from smartwatches to city infrastructure (smart cities).
