How effective are IoT Marketplaces as a channel to market for IoT vendors?
- Internet of Things
- IoT
- marketplaces
Over the years there have been quite a few attempts at building ‘IoT marketplaces’, often using the (largely inappropriate) analogy of an app store. The aim has been to create an environment where potential buyers can pick from a portfolio – ranging from highly curated to very broad – of vendor offerings from individual components all the way to end-to-end managed services. These attempts have been mostly not particularly successful. The IoT marketplace has certainly not come to be recognised as the main mechanism through which enterprise customers procure IoT. However, IoT marketplaces persist and new versions are being deployed. In this scenario we think it is worth revisiting this part of IoT to see if there is really an opportunity for IoT vendors to reach new customers. In this report we explore examples of IoT marketplaces that are available today from hyperscalers, ERP/CRM vendors, systems integrators, resellers, distributors, MNOs/MVNOs and others. Based on this analysis, and examining other analogous elements of IoT, the report provides some conclusions about the dynamics of this part of the IoT space and what seems to be working (and not working). It goes on to consider what characteristics might be required of an IoT marketplace to make it a success. For IoT hardware the ‘marketplace’ in the form of distributors is a key part of the landscape. For solutions (and even other IoT elements such as connectivity and platforms) much less so. Partly this is because of the transactional nature of the hardware domain, partly because of the completeness of the offering, and partly because of the personas involved in making the different purchases. Connectivity could be ripe for presentation in a marketplace, but providers seem reticent to do so. Solutions are best presented in the context of a wider IT marketplace sitting alongside other tools equally applicable to the requirements of the vertical to which they’re targeted.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the IoT Healthcare Monitoring market. This segment comprises clinical remote monitoring devices for heart disease, diabetes, and pulmonary diseases. It also includes wearable fitness tracking devices (but not smart watches), and various home health monitoring devices such as connected bathroom scales. Monitoring of patients at home is supported by the sharing of health information with physicians to reduce the burden on clinical staff who are often grappling with challenges associated with shortages of medical personnel. The collection and sharing of patients’ health data with healthcare professionals remotely not only lowers the pressure on existing healthcare infrastructure but also improves the quality of care through continuous patient monitoring. These devices can also help in a medical emergency by alerting first responders, potentially saving a patient’s life. 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.

Harnessing ‘sales intelligence’ is a critical tool for technology vendors to better understand complex markets
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- complexity
- digital transformation
- sales intelligence
- marketing
Technology markets, like AI or IoT, and those involving digital transformation initiatives, are complex and constantly evolving. Maintaining a deep understanding of those markets via ongoing customer feedback is critical to organizations, yet increasingly challenging to do. Customers, which would have been able to provide the ultimate insider information, often aren’t interested in offering rich market insights. Third-party sources pulling data from customers and markets are helpful, but such data is static; its value is diminishing as contexts rapidly change. The capacity of data to offer robust insights into customers’ changing ultimately requires ‘boots on the ground’ i.e., human analysis and interpretation. An alternative rich – and often untapped – source of market intelligence exists in the form of an organization’s salespeople. Technical marketing teams seeking to gather ongoing feedback from markets should convert tacit sales ‘story’ data into organizational knowledge. This report describes the central importance of using this knowledge-to-value creation process to extract valuable insights from a company’s internal sales force in order to make sense (‘sensemaking’) of complex markets. It also offers the practical steps and tools for doing so.
