Internet of Things (IoT) Industry Bolstered by Increasing Influence of Blockchain TechnologyPALM BEACH, Florida, October 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary The artificial intelligence and internet of things (IoT) markets are two of the most volatile areas of the technology industry as advancements occur rapidly and obsolescence forces innovation and turnover in the highly competitive space. Blockchain technology is being introduced to these spaces to offset all of these concerns. Particularly in the case of the IoT market, blockchain has emerged as an important resource to continue moving the market in a positive direction. The reason by blockchain has become so important to IoT's success is because not only does it tie up loose strings in the area of security concerns, but it also helps to solve and simplify previously complex issues facing the market. In their own rights, blockchain and IoT are two strong sectors of the technology industry. Autonomous Next projects blockchain global revenues could reach north of $20 billion by 2030, while the global IoT monetization market is projected to surpass $500 billion by 2023.
