Internet Of Things Market Drivers

The rise in applications of Internet of things solutions in agriculture is driving the internet of things market growth

Internet of Things (IoT) based devices enables the user to automate the process and analyze the data collected on real-time basis. In agriculture, IoT allows devices across a farm to measure all kinds of data remotely and provide this information to the farmer in real time. IoT devices can gather information like soil moisture, chemical application, dam levels and livestock health as well as monitor fences vehicles and weather. As a result, farming and agricultural reaps benefits and automation reduces the labor efforts. There is also growing research in smart agriculture vehicles, drones, autonomous robots and actuators and connected agriculture spaces such as smart greenhouses or hydroponics. This market includes agricultural management platforms, supply chain & inventory management solutions, GPS services and field mapping services. In 2022, a vertical farming company named ‘Farm66’, with the help of modern technologies, such as Internet of Things sensors, LED lights and robots successfully implements agriculture and growth of the plants with significant output . Thus, growing applications in agricultural applications acts as driver to boost Internet of things market

The increasing number of smart city and infrastructure projects by governments is propelling the growth of internet of things market

Governments across the world have initiated smart city and infrastructure projects based on Internet of Things technologies. Smart cities employ a range of software, user interfaces, communication networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Amongst these, IoT is the most important since it is a network of linked gadgets that interact and share data. Vehicles, smart household appliances, and on-street sensors are all examples of IoT. The Indian Government started laying the groundwork for its vision, in 2015 with an Internet of Things Policy Framework to create an IoT industry worth $15 Billion. Its approach to building smart cities combined government projects and Private-Public-Partnerships (PPP). Singapore unveiled plans for a new eco-smart metropolis that would be vehicle-free by 2021. The 5G networking and data infrastructure, big data implementations, and machine learning will be an accelerator for Internet of Things. According to Frost& Sullivan report, Smart cities sector is expected to create business opportunities that may have US$2 trillion market value by 2025. In July 2021, Mishima City signed an agreement with Oracle Japan for various smart city initiatives. These initiatives are expected to benefit local businesses and citizens by solving various key social issues using digital technology. Thus, growing smart city and infrastructure projects is helping the internet of things market growth.

Internet of Things Market Challenges

Challenges in technical integration and lack of network connectivity in developing nations are hindering the internet of things growth

Internet of Things has vast applications which are integrated with technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. However, installation and setup with integration is a challenge for IoT devices to mix match and configure themselves automatically to provide different services at different situation. Various developing countries suffer from the unavailability of basic technologies, such as telecom and networking infrastructure, and are not able to rapidly implement smart projects due to various factors, such as low investments and technological advances. 5G technology is still evolving in the countries and the research is ongoing in countries. Even developed countries, such as those of Europe and North America, face difficulties replacing their legacy infrastructures with new and smart ones. In 2021, in a survey of 193 telecommunications stakeholders fielded by Jabil and SIS International Research about the challenges and opportunities associated with 5G deployment, only 14% of respondents said they believe 5G usage is already mainstream. Nearly two-thirds, 64%, believe it will take another one to three years, while 19% believe it will be three to five years before 5G is widely adopted. Hence, the lack of 5G connectivity for efficient functioning of IoT based systems hinders the internet of things market growth.
