Global Internet of Everything (IoE) Market- Driver

Increasing use of IoE backed devices:

IoE backed devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets, smart wearable, etc. are increasingly growing in demand as the world is adopting to the world of technology. These devices are increasingly becoming the part of life for people with their integration and applications in all walks of life. As the use of these devices increases, the prospects of evolution of IoE would keep on expanding. For instance, according to an article published in Exploding Topics in March 2023, the data from Finance Online the volume of IoE devices is expected to grow significantly from the current number of 7 billion devices to around 25 billion devices by 2030. This staggering growth in the number of IoE devices is the testimony to the fact that the IoE market would grow exponentially during the forecast period.

Growth of 5G connectivity infrastructure:

The primary premise on which the entire IoE ecosystem works is the inter-connectivity between devices, people, processes and data. This connectivity is in the form of Bluetooth, internet, Wi-Fi and other connectivity options. In the current scenario a significant part of the ecosystem relies on the connectivity of IoE devices through internet. The penetration of internet services in the remotest part of the world and the introduction of the 5G spectrum in networking is a significant development when it comes to the IoE market. The 5G spectrum would provide high speed data transmission and would in-turn allow the devices to share data and communicate faster. Moreover, large chunks of data can be transferred with relative ease. For instance, according to an article published by Bangkok Post, In December 2022, DTAC and TrueMove H, two of the major telcom companies operating in Thailand announced their merger with a view to develop a 5G spectrum in the country. After this merger the users in Thailand experienced a significant increase in the download speed. This development points towards the fact that growing 5G infrastructure has the potential to boost the Global Internet of Everything (IoE) Marketduring the forecast period. 

Global Internet of Everything (IoE) Market- Restraints

High prices related with access to 5G connectivity:

The access to internet is now spreading even to the remote areas in developing countries like India, but the 5G network infrastructure is still not widely accessible for the users. The cost associated with gaining access to 5G services include the cost of owning a device that supports the 5G spectrum as well as the cost of 5G data services. Bothe these costs are a significant barrier in the wider adoption of 5G services. This slow growth in the adoption of 5G spectrum would also slow down the growth of the IoE expansion. For instance, in November 2022, According to Economic Times, the 5G roll-out cost in India is expected to be the highest among the 15 emerging economies. India is likely to spend around $75 billion for developing the 5G infrastructure across the country. These high costs would naturally raise the cost for accessing the high-speed 5G data significantly and is expected to hamper the growth rate of IoE expansion during the forecast period.

Low awareness regarding IoE:

IoE is still a growing phenomenon. The concept is rapidly evolving and incorporating speedy developments with the constant changes in technology. This nuance of the concept is the reason that the concept is not widely known to majority of the business verticals especially in the developing economies. The businesses in these regions are majorly unaware about the applications of IoE in improving the business processes and thus increasing the efficiency. This can be attributed to the factors like lag in the adoption of technology, regional imbalance, etc. For instance, according to an article published in Media Post, 53% people are still unaware about the concept of IoE whereas 72% find it confusing and do not have clarity regarding what it actually does and how can it improve processes. This huge ambiguity about the topic can hinder the growth prospects of the Global Internet of Everything (IoE) Market during the forecast period.

Global Internet of Everything (IoE) Market- Opportunity

Growing preference for enterprise mobility:  

Enterprise mobility is a relatively new concept which emphasizes on the ability of any business to mobilize its resources in order to provide flexibility to the employees in terms of operating. The latest trend of ‘work from home’ or ‘remote working’ which allows the employees to work from remote locations other than the company office is the example of enterprise mobility. This concept increases the demand for smart devices like laptops, tablets, etc. as well as the connectivity services. For instance, According to World Economic Forum’s report based on Google’s data the terms like remote working/work from home show an all-time rise in the google search box. This shows the trend in the business world regarding the adoption of these new concepts. This is an opportunity that the players in Global Internet of Everything (IoE) Market can capitalize on to provide products and services relating to IoE that cater to this rise in demand for enterprise mobility.

Global Internet of Everything (IoE) Market- Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

The impact of the country-wide lockdowns and stringent social distancing norms during the covid-19 pandemic on the supply side of the Internet of Everything (IoE) Market are significant in understanding the changed dynamics of the market after the pandemic. The supply side characterized by the production of solutions and services catering the IoE market showed contrasting trends. The production of IoE devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets and other smart devices was affected severely as majority of the industries were shutdown. Moreover, China which is the hub for all the companies engaged in the manufacturing of electronic gadgets was the most affected country during the pandemic period. This resulted in the complete disruption of the supply of these gadgets. But this effect was for short-term, as the lockdowns eased across different countries the supply of these components started gaining pace again.

*Definition: Internet of Everything (IoE) is defined as a network of connections between people, data, devices and processes that provide general intelligence and improved cognition across the networked environment.
