The development of quantum computers is well under way. Even though these machines are still in relatively early development stages it will not be long before the adoption of quantum computing becomes mainstream in many industries. Over the past few years, some remarkable milestones have been achieved by different technology leaders in this field. For instance, Google was able to construct a quantum computer in 2019 which could do a mathematical calculation in 3 minutes 20 seconds, which would have taken a regular supercomputer 10,000 years to solve. Currently the most advanced development is IBM’s Quantum Condor processor with a 1,000-qubit capacity. Quantum computing increasingly provides great opportunities to enterprises, especially in the field of new drug discovery, financial trading, and supply chain optimisation. But with its great benefits, it also brings along some major threats that need to be mitigated in order to protect highly sensitive information concerning people, organisations, and nations. In this report we analyse the contexts in which quantum computing can pose a threat to present-day security systems and approaches to mitigate the risks. We talk in detail about post quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD), today’s two major techniques that can be used to protect data from the threat of quantum attacks. The report also highlights different advances that are being made in order to ensure data protection along with a range of use case examples in which quantum-safe security is being implemented to safeguard user information. Lasty, we also profile some of the players that are providing quantum-safe security to organisations and highlight the different products and systems they are using in order to do so.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Electricity Smart Meter IoT market found in the Transforma Insights Connected Things TAM forecast. The transition from traditional electricity meters to smart meters is one of the biggest IoT initiatives worldwide. By 2033, there will be 2.1 billion electricity smart meter connections. This report examines the reasons for the increase in installations, including reducing energy consumption, a desire to reduce electricity thefts, enhancing load balancing capabilities, and growth in the use of renewable energy sources. Reducing dependence on nuclear energy and the greater demand for EV charging are likely to increase the use of renewables for energy and further drive the adoption of smart electricity meters. It also provides a detailed assessment of the progress of rollouts and the various communication technologies used across major geographies for these meters. Electricity smart meter rollout is a government-led initiative and with the installation of meters, consumers are provided added benefits such as subsidies on their electricity bill or refunds on using limited electricity during peak hours. Most of these rollouts supported by government regulations focus on providing incentives for deployment. 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 TAM Forecast tool.

This report summarises the Transforma Insights view on the Gas Smart Meter IoT market found in the Transforma Insights Connected Things TAM forecast. The report covers in detail, the evolution of traditional gas meters to smart gas meters that are equipped with connectivity to report gas consumption without manual reading, as well as other metrics such as pressure measurement and leak detection. The total number of Gas Smart Meters will grow from 245.5 million in 2023 to 509 million by the end of 2033. Mostly concentrated in China, North America, and Europe, the smart gas meter market is significantly regulated, often by the local government or energy provider. Deployments of smart gas meters are typically triggered by the local utility provider and are deployed only in countries that use gas pipelines. The majority of South East Asian countries and Africa still have a low number of smart gas meter installations due to the lack of piped natural gas (PNG) and preference for gas cylinders. The report also describes the barriers to growth such as the increasing cost of natural gas, a focus on renewable energy sources (including hydrogen gas and biogas), as well as Russia’s war with Ukraine, its consequent sanctions and the resulting impact on natural gas use in European countries. 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 TAM Forecast tool.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Water Smart Meters IoT market. The transition from traditional water meters to smart water meters is a global IoT initiative for water conservation and hygiene. By 2033, 789 million smart water meters will be deployed. The key driver behind the increase in their installation is water scarcity due to increasing consumption, water losses, and leakage. Other reasons include the ability to monitor and diagnose domestic, commercial, and industrial water consumption patterns as well as track costs with respect to resource utilisation. 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, including a detailed assessment of the progress of rollouts, 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.

This report examines the capabilities of Hitachi in Digital Transformation. It provides a comprehensive review of the products, services, and capabilities of Hitachi across 11 technology areas and dozens of functions, to determine its core strengths for meeting enterprise needs. The 11 technology families in which the vendors capabilities are assessed are IoT, Hyperconnectivity, Human Machine Interface, Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Ledger, Data Sharing, Product Lifecycle Management, Robotic Process Automation, Edge Computing, Autonomous Robotic Systems, and 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing. While these might not encompass every possible technology that organisations might need in order to purse a Digital Transformation, they certainly represent the most disruptive, and therefore the ones of which enterprises should be most aware. The report includes rating across each of the technology areas and functional capabilities (specialised hardware, general hardware, software products, integrated solutions, application development, systems integration and project management, specialist services, field & operational services) using Transforma Insight’s four-level universal rating system for vendors in Digital Transformation. Internet of Things, for instance, spans hardware, software, application development, implementation, field services and specialist services. For each of the 92 combinations of function and technology, Hitachi is rated for whether its capabilities are ‘Emerging’, ‘Significant’ or ‘Market Leading’ (or ‘None’). This rating is based on both the credibility of the solution and the position of the offering in the market (e.g. market share).
