Market Dynamics

Introduction

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the use of smart sensors and actuators to boost manufacturing and industrial operations. The IIoT allows enterprises and industries to have better ability and accuracy in their operations.

It has a strong focus on machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, big data, and machine learning. The IIoT encloses industrial applications such as robotics, medical devices, and software-bound manufacturing processes.

Market Drivers: Fast adoption of AI and IoT in the manufacturing sector

Since the introduction of Industry 4.0, the adoption of AI and IoT technologies in the manufacturing sector has grown significantly. AI and IoT-enabled systems allow optimization of production processes, contributing to quality control, sending of early alerts, and prediction of equipment failure. By collecting accurate data, manufacturers can make use of innovative AI applications to gain a competitive edge in the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020 led to a testing time for the manufacturing sector. Stringent lockdowns, restrictions on movement, and the absence of the required workforce made manufacturers mandatorily improvise their manufacturing processes. This resulted in the faster adoption of AI and IoT in various manufacturing processes and functions. Processes such as condition monitoring and equipment maintenance began to be carried out using AI and ML algorithms with no regular workforce in manufacturing units.

Standardization of IPv6

The advancement of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) has contributed to the growing IIoT market, as the number of things connected to the Internet is increasing exponentially worldwide. The IP version 4 (IPv4) was not able to support this exponential growth of the number of connected things effectively.

According to Google, only 4% of the devices in the world presently use the IPv6 protocol, while the remaining 96% of the devices still use the IPv4 protocol. With the standardization of IPv6, the global demand for IIoT technology is anticipated to grow significantly. IPv6 offers capabilities such as high capacity and advanced security, thereby providing a suitable foundation and platform for innovations in the IIoT market space.

Market Restraints: Incompatibility of legacy equipment with new data communication networks

Machines used in manufacturing plants require in-built hardware to facilitate M2M communication. These hardware components are either connected to a wired or a wireless network. The connected components gather necessary data from machines and send them to a central server for storage, processing, and analysis. Machines in old manufacturing units might not be equipped with these new data transmission components, requiring them to be fitted externally. Some legacy machines may also need alterations to implant these components in them, thereby resulting in greater spending.

This acts as a major restraint for manufacturing firms using old machinery. The impact of this restraint is anticipated to decrease slowly in the upcoming years, as many manufacturing firms have begun to realize the advantages of M2M communication. Many companies have already begun developing solutions to combine their legacy equipment with new communication networks. For instance, General Electric has developed field agents or gateways that can be connected directly to industrial equipment to help network connectivity.

Market Opportunities: Increasing application of AI and IoT in the healthcare sector during the pandemic

IoT and AI technologies have been rapidly incorporated into the healthcare industry during the last five years. Healthcare wearables have started using IoT and AI technologies, leading to an integrated hospital ecosystem. For instance, with the help of continuous glucose monitoring, a wearable device coupled with intelligent algorithms can monitor glucose levels and automatically deliver the right insulin dosage to diabetes patients.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a sudden growth in the demand for technologies such as mobile personal emergency response systems (mPERS) to ease remote patient monitoring. These systems help monitor patient condition 24/7 without the direct involvement of hospital staff physically, thereby mitigating infection risks. Because of the fear of contracting COVID-19, people began avoiding emergency rooms and doctors’ offices for non-COVID-19 health concerns. This is one of the key drivers for the growing remote patient monitoring (PM) market.

Segments Analysis

By Device and Technology Type

“Networking technologies accounted for the largest market share in 2021”.

Networking technologies, especially wireless, are the key enablers of IIoT. Several machines and sensor nodes are connected to the internet with the help of these technologies to allow M2M communication. These technologies are also helpful in collecting large volumes of data for enhanced decision-making.

A variety of wireless communication technologies are offered in the market based on connectivity range, data transfer rates, and power requirements. The industrial sector is increasingly relying on cellular technologies for M2M communication.

By Software Type

“The industrial IoT market of transit management systems is to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period”.

Transit management systems give accurate information according to the location and performance of vehicles. Vehicles with automatic vehicle location (AVL) technology can easily be tracked. Transit management systems are also used for tracking and controlling the location of in-transit goods. Users tracking the location of vehicles get this information through different technologies implemented on the vehicles.

Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems are used to deliver information related to the transit time of buses. These systems are helpful for emergency management systems and travel assistant devices (TADs) as they assist passengers with special needs.
