Definition:

The term Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of physical and virtual devices that are able to communicate autonomously using the Internet Protocol (IP). The IoT market is defined by revenues generated specifically from components and services that enable connectivity and intelligence. These include hardware (e.g., sensors, chips, and other IoT-specific components), platforms (e.g., IoT platforms, security software), connectivity solutions (e.g., cellular, LoRa, SigFox), and services (e.g., equipment/system integration and maintenance).

For example, in the case of a smart security camera, only the IoT-related portion of the product contributes to the IoT revenue. This includes the components and features that make the camera "smart" and capable of connecting to the internet (such as IoT sensors or connectivity modules), but not the full price of the camera itself.

Structure:

The IoT market consists of 7 different segments. Consumer IoT includes connected devices used by end users for personal purposes such as smart security cameras or smart home hubs. Smart Finance covers IoT applications used in financial sectors such as insurance telematics/usage-based insurance, real estate, ATMs. IoT in Healthcare covers all IoT applications in a healthcare setting such as the ones used for patient care, remote patient monitoring and surgeries. The Industrial IoT covers IoT applications in Industrial settings such as the factory & agriculture automation, supply chain optimization and predictive maintenance. Automotive IoT covers IoT use cases in mobility and transportation settings, such as the V2X connections, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) & telematics solutions. Other IoT covers use cases such as the ones used in professional sports such as player or equipment tracking.

Additional information:

The Internet of Things market compromises of revenue, revenue growth, volume, IoT Investment, and a list of top companies and their consolidated revenues. 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 market is fragmented, but the key players in the market include Cisco (Cisco IoT platforms and software), Qualcomm, Dell EMC, and IBM.

    Analyst Opinion

    The Internet of Things is one of the technologies driving Industry 4.0 and it’s not a surprise that the market is seeing a CAGR of over 16% over a 10-year-period (2018-2028). Even as the global semiconductor shortage has slowed down the market supply and growth from the pre-pandemic levels, the demand for smart solutions ranging from industrial to security use cases is still on the rise. With revenues of more than US$141 billion in 2022, the U.S. is the market leader, followed by China, which is the leading manufacturer of IoT devices.

    The Internet of Things market growth coincides with the development of other important technologies, such as 5G and cloud computing. The deployment of 5G communication standards paves the way for a faster and smoother connection among smart devices.

    Moreover, cybersecurity remains a big challenge, which can have significant effects both on personal and professional levels. As more data is collected and transmitted from one device to another and stored in the cloud, the challenge of securing the data and assuring privacy is more present than ever.

    Internet of Things (IoT) - statistics & facts

    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).
