The number of cellular network and cellular low-power, wide-area (LPWA) Internet of Things (IoT) devices in Japan amounted to 22 million in fiscal year 2023. Based on the number of devices, it was the largest communication standard in the wireless IoT market during that year. IoT devices in this case indicated IoT devices for business-to-business (B2B) purposes. The total number of wireless IoT devices was forecast to grow until fiscal year 2026 and then to decline again, mainly because of a shift from 3G and 4G to 5G in the cellular network market.
