[September 09, 2004] Research and Markets: the M2M Adoption Forecast: Adoption Patterns and Market Projections DUBLIN, Ireland --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 9, 2004 -- M2M Communications to Reshape Global Economics? Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com) has announced the addition of The M2M Adoption Forecast: Adoption patterns and market projections to their offering. M2M communications will have a fundamental impact on global economies. In most every facet of business, networked and intelligent devices will coordinate and optimize everyday functions to provide better service to customers and to make businesses more competitive. Companies that provide the technology, use the technology, and invest in the opportunities must learn how this phenomenon will unfold. This research suggests that the M2M arena will reach a critical inflection point in as little as 24-30 months. Given the lead times of many new product development cycles, M2M players must begin positioning themselves over the next 12 months to fully capitalize on the M2M opportunity. This report was designed to help companies become knowledgeable about M2M. We conducted over 350 surveys and interviews with technologists, adopters, and industry experts. We identified key adoption patterns and growth rates. We developed forecasts and projections. This effort has yielded some incredible new insight into the M2M landscape. Some of the most important findings and projections are as follows: -- Global M2M market to reach $250B in 2010. -- Increasing activity evident throughout all markets and device categories. -- Wireless activity to grow rapidly. -- Many predict rapid near term adoption and wider-spread deployments by 2006.
