Report overview
Segments covered: component, architecture, application, end user.
The growth of the 5G IoT market is attributed to the growing significance of IoT devices in smart city projects, increasing demand for low-latency IoT devices for Industrial 4.0 applications, and increasing demand for digital wearable devices. However, the global availability of the 5G network may restrain the market’s growth.
Moreover, the use of 5G IoT in self-driving vehicles and the high potential for 5G IoT in connected healthcare offer significant opportunities for the growth of the global 5G IoT market. However, high costs for 5G IoT network installation and security & data privacy concerns may hinder the market's growth.
Industry 4.0, also known as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” focuses on transforming the industrial management system and business process using advanced technologies, including AI, IoT, edge computing, 5G, and robotics. IoT technologies offer smart manufacturing machinery, AI-powered automation, and advanced analytics to improve production and quality and reduce downtime in the manufacturing industry. More than 70 billion connected devices are expected to be functioning worldwide by 2025, many of them in use in industrial applications. However, IoT devices rely on cellular networks that can create high latency due to vast data transfer, which slows the processing rate. Manufacturers are incorporating low-latency IoT devices with 5G technology to resolve this issue. These smart connected devices help increase product functionality, generate additional value for customers, and provide manufacturers with data needed to better manage complex production cycles. Several manufacturing industries are adopting advanced technologies, including IoT technology, to enhance product quality and equipment reliability. Some of the developments in the market using IoT technologies are as follows:
In 2021, ABB (Switzerland) launched a new GoFa CRB 15000, a higher payload cobot, to support the growing demand for a collaborative robot capable of handling heavier payloads.
In 2021, Nexans (France) partnered with Schneider Electric (France) on a digital transformation program for Industrial 4.0. This partnership accelerates factories' digitalization, improves production lines' efficiency, enables predictive maintenance, and reduces carbon emissions.
In 2020, ABB (Switzerland) opened a new robotics facility to deliver robotic applications & digital solutions and support the digital transformation of manufacturing.
In 2020, PTC released the latest version of its ThingWorx Industrial IoT platform. The platform will deliver new and expanded features to help industrial companies optimize business processes, improve operations, and modernize field service delivery.
Such developments, along with increasing demand for high bandwidth, higher throughput speeds, low latency, and low-cost wireless networks, are driving the market growth.
