Transforma Insights beta-launched our Regulatory Database in August 2023, focussing on an initial 18 countries. As of August 2024, it is now fully live and includes analysis of regulations relating to digital transformation in the top 45 countries that, based on our IoT market forecasts, will represent 96% of cellular IoT connections in 2029. The development has used our ‘DNA of Regulations’ framework as a reference, and we have sought to identify regulations that are relevant to each of the strands of DNA individually in each of the top 45 countries. This report provides an overview of our findings, highlighting the most frequently recurring themes. At the time of writing this report, the database contains a total of 240 regulations, 238 of which relate to our 45 focus countries. Thirteen of these are ‘global’ and apply in all markets worldwide. These are not strictly speaking regulations (there being no regulatory body with ‘global’ jurisdiction) and are typically standards, although we also include one UN Declaration on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The remaining 225 regulations are either country- or region-specific, with many of the latter group emanating from European Union lawmakers. This report provides an overview and statistical analysis of the guidance contained in our Regulatory Database, focusing on the 45 countries for which we have undertaken full research, seeking to identify all regulations that impact any of our identified DNA strands. We discuss the emerging profile of regulations within each of the following major themes in turn: Hyperconnectivity IoT Artificial Intelligence Privacy Autonomous Robotic Systems Distributed Ledger Data Sharing Additive Manufacturing Quantum Computing The report focusses primarily on country- and region-specific regulations and globally relevant guidance is discussed in a separate section. Detailed definitions of each of the ‘DNA of Regulations’ components can be found in our ‘DNA of Regulations’ report.
