The number of M2M device connections is set to grow at a CAGR of up to 50% worldwide in some sectors during the next ten years.
Machine-to-machine (M2M) device connections will grow to 2.1 billion by 2021,
which will have far-reaching implications for communications service providers
(CSPs), vendors and networks.
As growth in the number of mobile handsets slows in the developed world, M2M
presents itself as the one of the next opportunities to connect commercial and
consumer devices. Many operators in developed markets believe M2M represents
the solution to generating new revenue streams and offsetting declining
revenue from voice services and per byte of data.
This Forecast Report presents the annual update of Analysys Mason's M2M device
connections forecast, which includes detailed ten-year forecasts of
connections, revenue and ARPU for 7 sectors and 20 M2M applications, for eight
geographical regions worldwide.
