IoT in Manufacturing Market by Component (Platform, Connectivity), Application (Resource Optimization, Machine Inspection & Maintenance), End User (Automotive, Medical Devices) and Geography - Global Forecast to 2029

The IoT in Manufacturing Market is expected to reach $233.6 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period of 2022–2029. The rising demand for industrial automation in manufacturing and growing investments in Industry 4.0 are the major factors driving the growth of this market. However, data security and privacy issues in IoT can restrain market growth to a certain extent. Emerging 5G technology to help IoT adoption is expected to offer significant opportunities for the growth of this market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the IoT in Manufacturing Market

The COVID-19 pandemic emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. By March 2020, the virus had spread to most countries, with the WHO declaring COVID-19 a global pandemic. Governments worldwide imposed nationwide lockdowns to control the spread of the infection. The lockdown restrictions impacted manufacturing operations, with production facilities either completely shutting down or running at reduced capacities to ensure social distancing and employee safety.

COVID-19 widely influenced the manufacturing industry to reduce its dependency on manual labor and adapt to advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and IoT. The adoption of IoT in manufacturing helped organizations to improve their productivity and optimize the workforce required for the same role. It also facilitated remote factory monitoring at greater efficiency, irrespective of time and place constraints. However, COVID-19 has illustrated the importance of IoT, forcing organizations to increase their investments in deploying IoT technology in the manufacturing sector. IoT investment increased across most organizations, with businesses planning to invest the greatest proportion of their IT budgets on IoT projects over the next three years. The manufacturing sector is increasing its adoption of IoT technology. Despite the adverse impact on the manufacturing sector, it is expected to result in the accelerated growth of IoT adoption in the long run.
