Growth decade – IoT devices to hit 40.6bn by 2034, with cellular IoT tripling, non-cellular LPWA tech like LoRaWAN almost quadrupling, and short-range IoT still top.

Transforma Insights has today published its report Global IoT Forecast Report, 2024-2034 which provides the industry benchmark of the status of the global Internet of Things market.

IoT connectivity is about to get a shake-up with the SGP.32 standard and boost new eSO (eSIM Orchestrator) platforms. Expected to land in H2 2025, SGP.32 isn’t just a small tweak. According to a report by Transforma Insights, it’s going to fundamentally change the roles of traditional Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). “Enterprises are navigating a period of significant change in how global device connectivity is delivered and managed,” explains Matt Hatton, Founding Partner at Transforma Insights.

El estudio destaca cómo las empresas deberán pasar de la simple adquisición de SIMs a servicios gestionados más sofisticados para asegurar la continuidad y el cumplimiento.

Businesses relying on globally connected IoT devices are facing a major shift in how these assets will need to be managed, driven by new technical standards and evolving market complexities, according to a new report released by industry research firm Transforma Insights. Its latest analysis, ‘eSIM Orchestration: Driving the Next Wave of IoT Connectivity’, produced in collaboration with global IoT connectivity company Eseye, highlights that upcoming technologies like the SGP.32 standard for eSIMs, coupled with more selective network operator policies, will drive connectivity providers to adopt new strategies and new specialist roles, such as an ‘eSIM Orchestrator’, to maintain control and efficiency.

At this year's IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC), held alongside the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress, one message was clear: Internet of things (IoT) is here, delivering proven performance.

AIoT is a meeting between two different worlds with different rhythms. IoT device estates may contain multiple generations of hardware, in support of use cases that may vary between end-user deployments, by geography, and depending on connectivity technology. From an AI perspective, however, the frequently updated software models and user experience associated with these diverse endpoints should be as homogenous as possible. Accordingly, the key capabilities that will be required to support AIoT device estates are a consequence of the interplay between two very different technology domains that are themselves relatively complex. They are summarised in the graphic below and discussed in the following subsections.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of the most impactful and far-reaching technology developments of our time. Increasingly these two technologies are deployed together and the term ‘AIoT’ has come to the fore. In this article we discuss the market potential for AIoT devices and the AI Use Cases found onboard these devices.
