Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks: A Market Dynamics Report 2017 - Research and Markets

The "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks: A Market Dynamics Report" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Adoption of wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies is driving growth for the industrial Internet of Things. Today's WSN and associated cloud technologies provide the key elements for the industrial IoT: multi-year battery-powered wireless nodes, IP addressability, fieldbus tunneling and cloud-based provisioning and management systems.

Short range wireless mesh technologies such as WirelessHART and ISA100.11a as well as WiFi (News - Alert), Bluetooth and proprietary solutions will make up the majority of the market over the next five years but adoption of Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies such as LoRa, Sigfox, LTE (News - Alert)-M1 and NB1 will increase even faster.

Our 2017 survey on WSN and IoT with 180+ industrial automation professionals was completed in collaboration with the International Society of Autmation (ISA). The survey found steady growth for the wireless mesh standards but there is also a strong awareness and early adoption of LPWAN solutions. Satisfaction with WSN solutions has increased overall but improvements are needed for battery life, costs, system integration and network range.

In this report, we cover the global market for industrial wireless sensing and tracking in 12 market segments including 5-year market size forecasts, analysis of 100+ companies, an extensive technology review, the results of our recently completed survey on industrial wireless and IoT adoption trends, fastest growing applications, technologies, needed innovations and satisfaction with current systems.
