The Global Internet of Things (IoT) Market Segmentation:
Company Profiles and Competitive Intelligence
The key players operating in the Internet of Things (IoT) market are:
The unique insight provided by this report also includes the following:
Based on software solutions, the security solutions segment held the largest market share in the global Internet of Things (IoT) market for the year 2020
The security solution segment dominated the IoT market with largest market shares in the software solution sector. The growth is majorly attributed to the need for solution on security concerns in IoT owing to increase in security breaches of data in varied industries. End-to-end security of IoT is important for both network connections and devices. However, Cyber-attacks have increased through varied ways such as malware software, phishing email schemes, cryptojacking, ransomwares, and much more.
According to PurpleSec, cyber security services based in Washington DC, the cybercrime rate in the year 2021 has increased by 600% owing to covid-19 pandemic. For instance, in August 2021, data breach at New York University specifically in the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), affected over 47,000 citizens exposing personal information over the network to an unauthorized access. Such attack incidents creates a massive loss of critical data which leads to device and network manipulation, data falsification, and identity thefts.
Security solutions based on IoT benefits the organizations with information security and governance during the attack. Companies such as Cisco Systems, Symantec, DNP, and Gemalto N.V. are providing IoT security solutions to overcome such cyber-attacks. For instance, in February 2020, Jitsuin Inc., a company providing of integrated risk management for enterprise and industrial IoT, launched an IoT security and assurance platform for organisations, businesses, and industrial clients for Azure IoT Central and Microsoft Azure IoT Hub.
Based on the applications, the smart retail segment accounted for a largest market share in the overall Internet of Things (IoT) market size owing to rapid increase in e-commerce industry, followed by the building and automation
Based on applications, the smart retail segment is accounted to witness significant growth owing to the expansion of the e-commerce sector across the globe. According to Statista, it is expected to have more than 75 billion Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices in use by the end of 2025. Those devices will be implemented in varied industries including in the retail sector. The market players in this industry are not only employing IoT solutions to enhance their operational efficiency but also to improve customer experience.
The covid-19 outbreak has forced the retail industry to opt for e-commerce while brick and mortar system was preferred by a maximum of customers owing to better customer experience. For instance, the IBM consumer study 2020 found that at least one of the five customers prefers to buy commodities in-store more often. Thus, in these situations, the customer in-store experiences are intensified utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
Based on regions, the market for Internet of Things (IoT) in North America accounted for the largest share in 2020 owing to increased digitalization in various industries, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe
Geographically, the North American region is accounted to dominate the internet of things (IoT) market for the year 2020. The dominance is majorly attributed to the rapid digitalization in several industries in the region. Governments in the region are taking initiatives to support advancements in technological infrastructure. For instance, in the year 2016, the US Senate passed the “Developing Innovation and Growing the Internet of Things (DIGIT) Act.” The act suggested the private sector organizations identify the rules and regulations for the adoption and development of IoT in varied sectors. Owing to this act, several industries players in the region actively adopted the technological advances in their organizations, such as the US education industry actively incorporated IoT solutions for effective time management and safety concerns for their students and staff.
