Whether you have an already installed IoT set up working at full throttle, or you are planning to install a new set up. This blog is a surely to give you important insights into how IoT impacts business development.
Rather than jumping directly onto the topic, starting with basics is always a good idea!
IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a collective network of physical devices that facilitates the exchange and communication of data between these interconnected devices over the internet.
Any device that connects with internet is an IoT. Smart TVs, Smart fridges, smart security systems, smart fitness trackers, smart medical sensors, smart bicycles, smart watches, smart phones, smart fire alarm system, etc., are some popular examples of IoT devices.
With the emergence of ubiquitous computing, powerful embedded systems, commodity sensors, actuators, as well as AI/ML; IoTs has evolved in a few years by digitally transforming business sectors.
Let us prove our point by presenting some statistics.
The global spending on IoTs accounted for USD 749 billion in 2020 and is expected to cross a whooping USD 1.1 trillion by 2023.
As per Statista reports, there were around 9.7 billion units of IoT-connected devices across the world in 2020. This number is expected to triple by reaching 29 billion units by 2030.
The global IoT market size was valued at USD 182 billion in 2020 and is expected to garner USD 621 billion by 2030. Triple growth in a decade!
The global IoT managed services market revenue accounted for USD 30 billion in 2018 is expected to increase at a rapid pace amounting to USD 135 billion by 2027.
According to Statista’s forecast, there will be more than 30 billion active IoT connections worldwide consuming a data volume of 79.4 ZB by the year 2025.
