The second set is an annual forecast for cellular IoT connections and revenues by vertical market and application area (business and consumer). This forecast is available thru 2020.

In addition to access to these timely and vital data sets, clients can enjoy access to business decision-maker and consumer surveys, analyst inquiry and briefings or workshops with our senior research team. “The IoT market is revealing itself to really focus on businesses, rather than consumers”, states Keith Robinson, Director of M2M & IoT Research & Consulting. “While consumer applications can help companies create buzz and media coverage, the real money to be made in IoT is with businesses. To be successful in the industry, vendors and service providers must work with Enterprise management software powerhouses to develop solutions that integrate all aspects of a business with IoT”.
