Internet of Things (IoT) Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Component (Hardware, Software, and Services) by Connectivity Technology (Cellular (4G/LTE, 5G), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, NFC, Satellite Communication, and Ethernet) by Deployment Mode (On-Premise, and Cloud-Based), By Organization Size (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), and Large Enterprises) and by End User (BFSI, IT & Telecom, Manufacturing, Transportation, Healthcare, Retail, Energy& Utilities, Residential, Government & Defense, and Others) Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Industry Overview
Internet of Things (IoT) market was valued at $59.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $644.4 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 24.5% during the forecast period (2025-2035). LoRaWAN is a low-power wireless network protocol used in IoT-based applications such as smart cities, agriculture, logistics, and healthcare, for real-time monitoring, smart locks, energy management, and fire evacuation sensors. Market development is mainly fueled by increasing adoption of low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies for long-range connectivity and long battery life for IoT devices. For instance, in April 2024, the LoRa Alliance revealed a development roadmap for the LoRaWAN standard, a network protocol to connect battery-powered devices over the internet wirelessly in regional, national, or global networks. The LoRaWAN standard improved scalability and interoperability between industries, serving core IoT requirements such as bi-directional communication, end-to-end security, mobility, and localisation services. The roadmap also outlines the future growth of the LoRaWAN open standard for IoT communications, including the enhancements to the long-range frequency hopping spread spectrum (LR-FHSS) and relay enhancements.
Market Dynamics
Healthcare Digital Transformation
The healthcare digital transformation market is gaining momentum due to the growing use of connected medical devices like Vodafone's IoT monitor for real-time diagnostics and improved treatment outcomes. For instance, in April 2025, Vodafone connected its 200 million Internet of Things (IoT) devices to a healthcare monitor to its global IoT network. The device provides doctors with vital information about a patient's cardiac health and vital signs remotely. Over the last five years, Vodafone has doubled its IoT connections to over 200 million, with more than a quarter of these located in Germany. IoT enables companies to operate more efficiently and sustainably, with over half of all connections directly enabling customers to reduce their emissions. Additionally, it integrated its IoT SIM into device chipsets, simplifying processes, reducing costs, and automating network deployment for large-scale IoT deployments.
Advancements in Wireless Communication Standards
Wireless technologies of high speed and low latency are advancing IoT device performance, which makes it possible to have faster data transmission, higher reliability, and more interoperability among devices, propelling market growth. For instance, in April 2025, Synaptics launched its first Veros Wi-Fi 7 family, encompassing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee/Thread combo SoCs. The scalable SoCs promote high peak speed and low latency for diverse Internet of Things IoT applications such as gaming, AR/VR, entertainment, security, and automotive. Triple-combo SoCs combine Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 6.0 and Zigbee/Thread, reducing system cost and power consumption. They provide consistent performance across a spectrum of applications. The Wi-Fi 7 IoT portfolio provides flexible home hubs on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee/Thread networks, Matter, and triple combo design, and supports maximum speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps.
Market Segmentation
Manufacturing: A Key Segment in Market Growth
Manufacturing, an essential industrial process, makes use of automation across industries such as automobiles, electronics, aviation, consumer durables, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and heavy equipment to achieve precision, quality assurance, and production efficiency. The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the manufacturing industry by making automation, preventive maintenance, quality assurance, asset tracking, energy monitoring, and worker safety possible. IoT networks machines, sensors, and systems to facilitate real-time communication, remote monitoring, and control. It additionally facilitates machine failure prediction, early defect detection, supply chain optimization, and assistance towards sustainability initiatives.
The global internet of things (IoT) market is further divided by region, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
North America Maintains Strong Market Position
North America holds a significant share, owing to the market growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand for real-time analysis and predictive maintenance for industrial environments. For instance, in January 2025, the US implemented a Cyber Trust Mark for IoT products, enabling consumers to evaluate their cybersecurity levels. Those manufacturers who achieved the mark showed a clear shield logo, indicating their adherence to the cybersecurity requirements of NIST. The voluntary mark is intended to increase IoT device security by motivating manufacturers to implement better secure design practices.
The major companies operating in the global Internet of Things (IoT) market include Amazon Web Services, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., IBM Corp., Microsoft, Siemens AG, among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.
