The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments in cybersecurity, growing demand for real-time data monitoring, integration with blockchain technology, a heightened focus on energy efficiency, the advancement of interoperable platforms, and a surge in smart factory initiatives. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the expansion of edge AI, the incorporation of digital twin technology, the development of low-power wide-area networks, and progress in industrial robotics.
The growing implementation of automation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the industrial internet of things (IIoT) market in the coming years. Automation refers to the utilization of technology to carry out tasks with minimal human input. It involves deploying control systems, software, and machinery to manage equipment, processes, or systems in a manner that improves efficiency, precision, and consistency. The adoption of automation continues to rise as it enables businesses to save time and cut operational expenses by reducing manual labor. IIoT supports industries by providing real-time data collection and analysis, which helps optimize processes and minimize downtime. It boosts efficiency, enables predictive maintenance, and supports better decision-making through interconnected devices and automation technologies. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a non-governmental organization based in Germany, reported 44,303 industrial robot installations in 2023, marking a 12% increase from the previous year. Thus, the growing adoption of automation is a key factor fueling the growth of the IIoT market.
Leading companies in the industrial internet of things (IIoT) sector are prioritizing the development of cutting-edge solutions, such as cellular IoT connectivity platforms, to enhance the scalability and efficiency of IoT deployments in industrial settings. A cellular IoT connectivity platform is a system that facilitates the connection and communication of IoT devices over cellular networks, managing data transfer, monitoring, and device control through technologies including 4G LTE and 5G. For example, in February 2022, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, a telecommunications and networking company based in Sweden, introduced IoT Accelerator Connect. This platform simplifies the process of connecting IoT devices to cellular networks, enabling businesses to implement IoT solutions more effectively. It accelerates device integration, shortens time to market, and increases scalability through features such as cloud and eSIM connectivity. By minimizing complexity, the platform supports broader access to IoT services, driving innovation and expansion across various industries.
