This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Asset Monitoring market. This segment comprises a diverse set of applications including Livestock Monitoring, Commercial Fitness Equipment, Emergency Medical Services Asset Monitoring, Gaming Machines, and Health & Safety Notification. Remote monitoring of devices enables frequent checks of devices, minimising downtime and costs by detecting potential failures early and allowing maintenance to be scheduled before any issue arises. Also, without the need for physical inspection, a large number of assets can be easily managed across multiple locations. While Short Range connectivity technologies will dominate, many of these applications use LPWA-based solutions due to their extensive coverage, low cost, and low power usage. 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.

The report examines the capabilities of IBM in Digital Transformation. It provides a comprehensive review of the products, services, and capabilities of IBM across 11 technology areas and dozens of functions, to determine the core strength of IBM for meeting enterprises’ needs. The 11 technology families in which the vendor’s 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 may not encompass every possible technology that organisations may need in order to pursue 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, and field & operational services) using Transforma Insights’ 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, IBM is rated for whether its capabilities are ‘Emerging’, ‘Significant’, ‘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).

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Delivery Robot market. This segment comprises autonomous delivery robots used on sidewalks and paths that deliver retail products, food items, and documents as well as other products. These robots are small in size and are typically equipped with cameras, LiDAR, or ultrasonic sensors for detecting obstacles, GPS navigation for routing, along with a variety of other sensors, measurement units, and gyroscopes. Most of these robots use cellular communication (usually 4G and 5G) technology to transmit real-time information and videos. Mostly concentrated in developed regions such as North America and Europe, the market for delivery robots is typically triggered by the increasing need and demand for faster and more sustainable delivery services. Some countries such as Japan and South Korea are coming up with new laws to encourage adoption and help address labour shortage issues. This report also considers how these devices can create congestion on sidewalks and face stiff competition from drones. Some key organisations such as Amazon, Alibaba, and Uber have reflected on the cost and benefits of using robots for last-mile deliveries and many of them have reduced their research spending after not meeting the required economies of scale. Yet the market for autonomous delivery robots continues to grow with rising popularity among tech-savvy consumers and improved technology. 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.

With mounting pressure to increase the performance of systems on chips (SoCs), chipmakers have been facing challenges to integrate more transistors on a standard silicon die. With increasing complexities and rising demand across edge AI and AIoT applications, chiplets offer a promising alternative to provide chipmakers the flexibility to dynamically modify a chipset’s architecture, based on AIoT application requirements.

In November 2024, Transforma Insights unveiled its 2025 IoT ‘Transition Topics’, key themes that would significantly influence the market landscape during the year. One of those Transition Topics related to ‘eSIM orchestration vs connectivity reseller’, specifically stated as follows: “The imminent arrival of the SGP.32 ‘IoT’ standard for remote SIM provisioning in 2025 promises to trigger a new phase in the provision of IoT connectivity and in the associated roles. Specifically, we expect to see the role of IoT connectivity provider (MNO/MVNO) fragment into three main roles: network operator, reseller and a new role of eSIM orchestrator, handling profile management and potentially integrating with a role of single-pane-of-glass (SPOG) connectivity abstraction platform.” Alongside the arrival of SGP.32, there are also a number of other evolving market dynamics relating to how global cellular-based connectivity is delivered, which are also helping to trigger changes in the landscape. This includes regulatory requirements for more localisation, evolution in middleware, and changing approaches from MNOs and MVNOs to how they address the market. This report examines the key market changes that are driving the requirement for a new set of functions for supporting eSIM remote SIM provisioning. It continues to then extrapolate that into a new industry structure (most prominently the rise of the eSIM Orchestrator). Additionally, it provides a view on the propositions of a variety of IoT connectivity providers to operating as an eSO.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Access Control & Intercoms market. This segment comprises Intercoms & Doorbells, Building Access Control, Border Monitoring & Control, Sports Venues, Public Transport Access Gates, Prisons, and Amusement Parks. The increasing focus on security and crime prevention in the commercial and residential sectors is one of the major factors driving the adoption of connected intercoms and access control systems. These systems provide security by preventing unauthorised access to restricted areas. They are used in hotels, airports, residential buildings, offices, banks, hospitals, transport hubs and all kinds of other facilities. Apart from being an essential part of security, they also improve operational efficiency, reduce the need to hire security personnel (thus reducing staffing costs), and improve employee productivity and visitor management processes. Integrating access control systems with HVAC and lighting can also reduce energy costs as one can program lights to remain on or off based on the frequency of access to specific areas. The use of these systems is no longer limited to high-security areas and they are also being used in fitness centres, sports venues, ski resorts, and amusement parks, where convenience and efficiently authorising access for customers are the driving factors for adoption. 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.
