The Internet of Things market is one of the most promising technology trends of our time and its possibilities have not yet been exhausted. Applications range from B2C smart home solutions to B2B solutions such as logistics tracking or energy grit management. Because of numerous use cases there is little concentration of market power within the overall IoT market, but some of the key players include Dell, Qualcomm, IBM and Cisco.

In 2022, the Internet of Things market generated a total revenue of US$970 billion worldwide. Accounting for 31% of the Internet of Things market, Automotive IoT was the largest market in 2022, generating US$300 billion in revenues. In a global comparison, the United States produced the highest revenue in the IoT market in 2022, generating US$143 billion. China came in second place with approximately US$119 billion.

In such a diverse market, there are of course also many different trends that affect it. To provide fast communication between different IoT devices the deployment of the 5G communication standard is a game changer. Another important technology trend is the usage of edge computing instead of Cloud computing which makes processes even faster by performing data collection or analysis directly at the IoT device. Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) integrated in IoT is reshaping business and providing a tool for precise decision-making. However, with the rapid growth of connected devices, there is a growing demand in the IoT market for security that protects the IoT system from threats and vulnerabilities.
