The projected growth in the connected enterprise market is being largely driven by the expanding global adoption of 5G networks. 5G is the latest iteration of mobile networks, offering superior speed and responsiveness compared to previous generations. The enhanced bandwidth, speed, and reduced latency offered by 5G allow businesses to create an improved connected experience, enabling them to boost capabilities and further improve customer interactions. For example, IoT Analytics, a Germany-based company specializing in business intelligence for IoT, AI, Cloud, Edge, and Industry 4.0, highlighted that public 5G consisted of 95% of worldwide 5G IoT links in 2023 with figures from September 2024 showing 1.28 million of private 5G connections, accounting for 5% of all 5G IoT connections. Furthermore, it was found that 51% of companies adopting IoT were planning to boost their IoT budget in 2024, with 22% being expected to increase their budget by 10%+ compared to 2023. As such, the adoption of 5G is a key factor encouraging growth in the connected enterprise market.
