The internet of things, or IoT, is a collection of interconnected smart devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people supplied with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transmit data across a network without needing human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. The main types of internet of things (IoT) services are professional services and managed services. A professional service is an intangible product that a contractor or product vendor sells to help a customer manage a specific part of their business. The various type of verticals are manufacturing, retail, IT & telecom, transportation & logistics, utilities, healthcare, energy, and others. The various applications of internet of things (IoT) services are smart buildings, smart manufacturing, smart transport and logistics, smart healthcare, smart retail, and smart energy. The internet of things (IoT) services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides internet of things (IoT) services market statistics, including internet of things (IoT) services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an internet of things (IoT) services market share, detailed internet of things (IoT) services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the internet of things (IoT) services industry. This internet of things (IoT) services market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global iot services market size will grow from $188.8 billion in 2022 to $214.47 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global iot services market size is expected to grow to $400.78 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 16.9%. An increase in the internet of things use cases is expected to drive the IoT service market. IoT use cases are the areas where IoT can be used for automating the process and increasing productivity. Over the years IoT has found its use in many areas such as manufacturing, farming, smartwatches, smart cities, transportation, and other fields, which has increased the need for IoT services that provide support by delivering services such as consulting, data management, network management, security services, and others. For instance, Telit, a leading IoT enabler, provides an IoT security system that helps users to control and monitor the surveillance along with collecting data and analyzing it to improve the security of buildings, turning them into smart buildings. The IoT use cases eventually increase the demand for IoT services and are expected to drive market growth. Low enterprise adoption is expected to hinder the IoT services market. Even though IoT has found it useful in many vertical industries, the enterprise adoption is low due to many factors such as little or no awareness, the involvement of more humans in the operating system gives a less or no room for automation and most importantly due to security concerns regarding the data. For instance, in October 2020, according to a research conducted by Bitdefender, a Romania-based cybersecurity company, 42% of the companies surveyed stated that they are following a “wait and see” strategy to observe the effect of IoT and 33% of businesses that are still on the fence about adopting IoT say they are unsure of the benefits for their industry. Low enterprise adoption thereby restrains the IoT services market. Edge or cloud computing is enhancing the deployment of workload on IoT devices. Edge or cloud computing is a solution that facilitates data processing and data storage in the cloud. For instance, Microsoft recently released its Azure IoT Edge, a managed service built on Azure IoT Hub that deploys the workloads like artificial intelligence, third party services, or own business logic on cloud and runs the workload on IoT edge device. Edge devices spend less time communicating with the cloud and react quickly to changes and operate reliably. Amazon provides two IoT software FreeRTOS and AWS IoT Greengrass, AWS IoT Greengrass extends AWS to the edge devices and they can act locally by generating the data and FreeRTOS is open source and operating system used for microcontrollers that makes low power edge devices easy to secure, deploy and manage. In September 2020, Accenture, an Ireland-based leading global professional service provider that provides strategy, digital, and technology services, has acquired cloud industrial Internet of Things consultancy SALT Solutions, headquartered in Würzburg, Germany for an undisclosed amount to expand its IoT services. The acquisition is expected to build cloud-based IoT platforms that “speed up and optimize clients’ production and logistics”. SALT Solutions will help clients improve how they operate factories and plants.
