IoT Market Could Reach Almost a Trillion Dollars by 2019, Report Predicts

Prognostication is always a tricky business, and market forecasting can be right up there with palm reading for accuracy. One interesting feature is that most of the recent IoT predictors seem to be playing a game of one-upsmanship with each other. In the most recent of these moves, MarketsandMarkets has published a report called “Internet of Things Market & M2M Communication by Technologies, Platforms and Services - Global Market Forecasts – 2019” that has forecast the IoT and M2M communication market to grow from $255.87 Billion in 2014 to $947.29 Billion in 2019, at an estimated CAGR of almost 30 percent to get to that nearly $1 trillion figure.



The report defined and segmented the IoT and M2M market into sub-segments by technology and platform, M2M connection and modules, IoT components, applications, and regions. It contains analysis and forecasting of revenues, based upon drivers and restraints of the market with insights on trends, opportunities, and challenges.

Although the prediction, like most of them, is likely to be heavily optimistic, the report is accurate in its position that the IoT and M2M communications are changing the way that the world thinks about the interconnectivity between objects and devices. The report assumes that by 2020, interconnectivity among devices will be at 31 billion, and by 2022 there will be an increase in the use of connected devices in the family to 50 devices.
 

There has been a tremendous adoption rate of IoT and M2M in manufacturing, utilities, supply chain, retail, healthcare, residential and commercial buildings, and transportation. According to the report, the major IoT and M2M solution vendors have shifted their focus to the emerging markets which are growing at a rapid speed.

It’s still a bit early to reasonably expect the industry to triple in size in just the next three and a half years. That being said, it’s a very exciting time, and it seems likely that a doubling is not out of the question.

To get a realistic idea of how the market can grow and how you can anticipate that growth, register for the IoT Evolution Expo at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, August 17 to 20.
