Overview of the global narrowband IoT chipset market

According to our analysis of the global narrowband IoT chipset market, the increasing adoption of M2M communication will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the market’s growth during the next few years. M2M connections required for smart meters, smart parking, smart agriculture, and smart buildings have low data rates. Therefore, they require a technology that has been built to support low data rates. The NB-IoT technology, therefore, is an ideal choice; it works at low data rates (10s of kbps) and also in the 200kHz spectrum. NB-IoT modules also have a battery life of 10 years. Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that the narrowband IoT chipset market size will grow by more than USD 103 million by 2021.

In terms of geography, Americas generated major revenue in 2016. The region witnessed a presence of the existing infrastructure prevents the need for new towers to be constructed, which reduces the initial investment required. Additionally, the increasing investments in enhancing the LTE infrastructure will improve the LTE infrastructure will allow NB-IoT chipsets to be deployed easily, which will drive the growth of the market.
