"The expected growth rate in the number of IoT connections worldwide is lower than in our previous forecast because chipset shortages and supply-chain issues continued in 2022."
The total number of IoT connections worldwide will increase from 2.2 billion at the end of 2021 to 7.0 billion in 2031. The knock-on effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to disrupt the IoT market, but connections growth will continue to be in the double digits for most of the forecast period.
