Over the past few years, increasing demand for economical, flexible, and convenient alternatives for commuting and micromobility has fuelled the bike and scooter sharing market. Advancements in communication technologies, rising congestion, and a focus on sustainability have propelled the market. Dockless bike sharing in particular has gained prominence due to its ease of use (in terms of locating and tracking) through a smartphone application. China, Europe, and the US are the key markets with successful systems operated by Bird, Bolt, and Lime amongst others. This report summarises the status and forecasts from the Bike and Scooter Sharing Application Group found in the Transforma Insights Connected Things IoT forecast. The report provides a description of what is covered in the Application Group, as well as top-level figures from the forecast that provide details on how many connected devices will be installed, the types of communication technology used and the total revenue opportunity. Full details are accessible through the TAM Forecast tool.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Autonomous Road Freight Vehicles market. This segment comprises vehicles used for transporting goods on roads in a commercial setting. To be counted as part of this Application Group, vehicles must be capable of operating at Level 3 (L3) of the SAE levels of autonomy. The autonomous road freight vehicles market is at a nascent stage with enormous potential to disrupt the road freight market. The adoption of L3 autonomous freight vehicles is gaining momentum with multiple governments around the world supporting the testing and commercialisation of autonomous vehicles on roads, although concerns around the safety and performance of these vehicles can act as a deterrence to the pace of mass adoption. The initial focus of most technology companies is proving the concept of commercial L3 vehicles and allowing shippers, carriers, and logistics companies to embrace and familiarise themselves with their usage.

Waste Management: 3.2 million devices by 2034 to manage waste effectively and sustainably

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the use of the Internet of Things for Waste Management. This segment comprises connected waste bins (such as those provided by Bigbelly), aftermarket monitoring devices for wheelie bins, and other refuse collection systems. Connected Waste Management systems are being introduced to efficiently manage waste collection, reduce associated costs, and promote more sustainable ways to ensure the collection and disposal of garbage. Measuring the fill level in each bin is generally a core element of these solutions, and this is often achieved through the use of onboard ultrasound sensors. Typically, this data is then transmitted to a cloud-based waste management platform via wide area networks, in particular using Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technologies. Some municipal waste collection schemes make use of RFID reader-equipped waste collection trucks that log data from active RFID tags deployed on waste bins processed along their route. These schemes aren’t focused on monitoring the fill level of each bin, instead centering on correctly logging each collection to ensure correct billing and provision of service. 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.

In March 2025, Transforma Insights published its ‘Satellite IoT connectivity market landscape, 2025’ report profiling over 50 satellite operators involved – or in some cases no longer involved – in supporting satellite connectivity for IoT. This report is a companion piece which provides Transforma Insights’ view on the associated market dynamics. One of the key considerations in the field of satellite connectivity is that it is by no means homogenous. There is a wide variety of technologies being used on different types of constellations, aimed at addressing radically different use case requirements. As a result, to understand the market, it’s necessary to perform a market segmentation which takes into account each of these characteristics of the satellite provider offerings and the demands of different use cases. In this report we consider the characteristics of the various IoT applications which will influence the choice of technology/vendor based on the characteristics of the associated propositions. We also include some other considerations relevant to the decision-making process.
