The rise in industrial automation is notably driving the Internet of things (IoT) market growth during the forecast period. With the increasing automation of industrial processes, industries are undergoing revolutionary changes. The use of a combination of digital and physical systems to enable machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and improved human-machine interfaces (HMI) has grown significantly, with most developed regions already implementing such systems. Industry 4.0 refers to the entire product lifecycle, in which smart machines perform manufacturing processes on their own, smart robots collaborate with human workers on product assembly, and smart driverless transport vehicles perform logistics processes on their own. Further, the integration of physical and cyber systems in industrial manufacturing leads to increased efficiency, predictive machine maintenance, increased safety, and increased profitability.
As a result, industries all over the world are implementing Industry 4.0 to optimize material flows and detect errors early in a product's lifecycle. Germany is running a strategic program called Industrie 4.0 and has announced a USD 565 million investment in developing a new factory standard to enable end-to-end automation. In the United States, the Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition (SMLC), founded in July 2012, is launching initiatives to promote the widespread adoption of smart manufacturing systems. The primary goal of this coalition is to create global standards and systems for intelligent factories. Thus, the rising automation of the Industry 4.0 process will drive the demand for IoT during the forecast period.
The use of wearables to monitor human health and the environment is a new trend in the global IoT market. In today's world, smartphones and tablets have become the epicentres of mobile computing and communication. Mobile phones, when combined with various inbuilt sensors, provide enhanced features and developments that are expected to revolutionise a variety of social and economic areas. Examples include social networking, environmental and surveillance monitoring, healthcare and well-being monitoring, and transportation. GPS, microphones, accelerometers, cameras, ambient light sensors, gyroscopes, and digital compasses are all built into today's smartphones. Furthermore, most smartphones have WIFI, 3G/4G/5G, and Bluetooth radios.
Moreover, IoT wearables assist consumers in understanding their own healthcare needs and enable doctors to remotely monitor patients. This technology also enables companies to track their employees' health and safety, which is especially useful for people who work in hazardous environments. Wearable devices have shown a lot of promise in terms of assisting in the control of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Wearable devices, such as smartwatches, smart bracelets, and patches, can detect, monitor, recover from, and manage COVID-19 symptoms and disease progression. Thus, increasing demand for health wearable devices will increase the demand for IoT solutions, which, in turn, will boost the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The lack of awareness of efficient management of IoT initiatives and investments is a major challenge that may hinder the global IoT platform market growth during the forecast period. Though industrial IoT adoption is increasing, enterprises continue to face significant challenges in managing, securing, and optimizing their IoT investments. One of the primary tasks that industries undertake is the implementation of IoT in industrial facilities. The next step is to train employees on how to use the IoT platform so that workers can adapt to IoT better and faster.
Further, the lack of skilled employees to handle the complexities of IoT systems is a major issue faced by end-user industries. The capabilities of IoT can only be partially exploited without proper training and knowledge of IoT systems. Employee training in IoT systems necessitates the presence of skilled professionals as well as higher end-user investments.
