Internet of Things (IoT) in Financial Services – Thematic Intelligence

Internet of Things (IoT) in Financial Services Thematic Report Overview

The Internet of Things is reaching maturity with IoT-related deals and patent activity across the financial services sector declining since 2021. But the progress of IoT in financial services depends on the ability of tech companies to create new devices with smooth user experiences and the ability of financial services companies to comply with data handling laws. The primary driving force behind the adoption of IoT in financial services has been the development of consumer electronics devices by big tech companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung. Financial services companies can embed applications such as payment gateways and health-tracking apps into the interfaces of these devices and gain valuable insights from the data they collect.

The Internet of Things (IoT) in Financial Services thematic intelligence report assesses how IoT, combined with other emerging technologies, can be used across the financial services value chain. It provides an overview of the current landscape. The report also includes key players and highlights opportunities for the use of IoT in the future. The report provides an industry-specific analysis based on GlobalData databases and surveys.

IoT in Financial Services – Industry Analysis

IoT software will be the largest revenue segment by 2027.

The IoT market across the financial services sector was valued at $23.6 billion in 2019. The market is expected to achieve a CAGR of more than 13% during 2019-2027. The IoT software will be followed by IoT hardware as the second-largest revenue segment by 2027. Financial services companies will account for a larger share of the software segment than the hardware segment since the majority of NFC-enabled payments occur via smartphones and smartwatches.

IoT in Financial Services - Value Chain Analysis

IoT adopters only realize the value of the application layer in the IoT value chain.

The IoT value chain is split into five layers, namely physical, connectivity, data, apps, and services.

Physical layer: This layer can be further subdivided into connected things, cameras and lenses, sensors and microcontrollers, and microprocessors. Most connected devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops have a physical dimension controlled by humans. In the IoT, most such connected things will be run by other connected things. For manufacturers of other devices such as washing machines, door locks, and light bulbs, among others, the challenge is whether they can retain the bulk of the added value during the transition to IoT. Their use of the data collected by various embedded chips, sensors, antennae, and beacons is also in question. Some industry profits will likely be siphoned out by technology companies that increasingly provide IoT solutions as a service.
