This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the IoT market relating to Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). Included are details of how ATMs have evolved not only as providers of financial services, but also as a means of processing, collecting, and transmitting important consumer data faster, offering services such as scheduling appointments and interactions with bank employees, delivering personalised offers and service messages, and supporting digital signage capabilities for advertising. ATMs have been a permanent fixture on high streets for decades and their nature requires them to be connected. However, the availability of various cashless payment modes has reduced the need for cash, and therefore ATMs, in many countries. Yet ATMs continue to hold a potential for growth, albeit in developing countries. In developed markets such as the US and Europe the number of ATMs per capita is higher, but gradually declining. Connectivity allows modern ATMs to support video interaction, faster data processing, security monitoring, software updates, advertisements, and processing loans and mortgages and other financial service activities. The report provides a detailed definition of the sector, analysis of market development and profiles of the key vendors in the space. It also provides a summary of the current status of adoption and Transforma Insights’ ten-year forecasts for the market. The forecasts include analysis of the number of IoT connections by geography, the technologies used (including splits by 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LPWA, short range, satellite and others), as well as the revenue split between module, value-added connectivity and services. A full set of forecast data, including country-level forecasts, sector break-downs and public/private network splits, is available through the IoT Forecast tool.

Automotive Batteries: An EV charging alternative worth USD3 billion in 2034
- Internet of Things
- IoT
- Battery Swapping Stations
- Swappable Batteries
This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the use of IoT in the Automotive Batteries market. This Application Group covers vendor tracking of swappable batteries used by electric vehicles. The growing number of electric vehicles will increase the need for vehicle charging facilities. Currently, there are a limited number of charging stations, some of which can take up to half a day to completely charge a vehicle. Battery swapping is an alternative to recharging a vehicle’s battery in situ. Swapping a depleted battery for a fully charged currently takes about 5 minutes and has a similar subscription cost to EV charging. China has been one of the early adopters of battery swapping with leading vendors such as Gogoro and Nio now expanding their geographic presence across other large markets such as Europe and the US. The rest of the market has been dominated by small and medium sized companies manufacturing swappable batteries for two and three wheelers that are popular in Southeast Asian countries. Most of these vehicles tend to be used for commercial activities such as food and package delivery. One of the main obstacles to widespread adoption is whether automakers will collaborate to develop standardised batteries that can be used across multiple brands. The likes of Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen fear that standardising batteries could reduce their competitive edge by turning them into a commodity, undermining the performance of their vehicles. This hesitancy, combined with the substantial investment required to redesign vehicles for swappable batteries, and the long development cycles in the automotive industry, has slowed widespread adoption of these batteries, especially in the developed markets.
