The number of connected devices worldwide is set to almost double between 2023 and 2029. This growth is expected to be driven by an increase in short-range IoT (internet of things) devices, with more than 28 billion such devices forecast before the end of the decade. Connected devices include items such as wearables, connected cars and smart sensors.
