The Internet of Things, or IoT refers to networks of connected sensors and devices that monitor, manage, and optimize everything from physical environments to moving assets and human activity. IoT powers a wide range of real-world applications from automated homes, connected cars, and wearable tech to smart cities and predictive maintenance in industrial operations.

Scope

Delivers a comprehensive overview of the Internet of Things (IoT) theme and its strategic impact across industries.

Highlights the top technology, macroeconomic, and regulatory trends set to shape the IoT landscape over the next 12-24 months.

Provides an in-depth industry analysis, including market size, growth forecasts, and insights drawn from GlobalData’s proprietary signals database covering M&A activity, venture funding, patents, company filings, and hiring patterns.

Breaks down the IoT value chain into five core layers: physical devices, connectivity, data, applications, and services.

Features profiles of major IoT leaders such as Alibaba, Amazon, Arm, Baidu, Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei, Microsoft, Nokia, and Synaptics.

Use Cases & Applications

Enterprises building connected-product strategies for smart manufacturing, transport, or consumer goods.

Telecom and IoT platform providers looking to scale edge and cloud-based services.

Investors assessing which companies are best leveraged to benefit from widespread IoT adoption.

Policymakers and regulators building frameworks around data governance, device security, and smart infrastructure.

Key Highlights

GlobalData forecasts that the global IoT market will reach $1.8 trillion in revenue by 2028. Enterprise IoT will account for 72% of market revenue by 2028, up from 70% in 2023, while the consumer segment will make up 28% in 2028, down from 30% in 2023.

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) involves embedding AI into IoT devices, software, and services. Combining data collected by connected sensors and actuators with AI supports automated operations and predictive maintenance. AI can run in the cloud, on IoT devices directly with some limitations, or on both the cloud and the device.

The fragmented security standards landscape and weak security of many IoT devices could hold back further IoT adoption. Additionally, IoT deployments can become security risks. Despite ongoing industry efforts, there are no globally accepted IoT security standards. Many IoT devices have limited computing capacity and cannot run effective security software, leaving them and the networks to which they are connected vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Reasons to Buy

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to everyday physical objects from fridges and watches to cars and industrial machines that connect to the internet to send, receive, and act on data. Using networks of smart sensors and actuators, IoT enables real-time monitoring and control of environments, moving assets, and human activity.

By capturing and analyzing this data, consumers and businesses can maintain, optimize, and upgrade these connected “things” far more efficiently. From automating home security to predicting when a vehicle or machine needs servicing, IoT helps save time, reduce energy use, cut costs, and improve overall performance.

See what our customers are saying

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise. The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.

Senior Account Manager, TSYS
