Predictions for the Future of IoT
“The growth in IoT will far exceed that of other connected devices. By 2020, the emergence of mass market smartphones and tablets, combined with the mature PC market, will result in an installed base of about 7.3 billion units, which compares with the expected human population of 7.7 billion in that year (based on information from the United Nations Population Division). In contrast, the IoT will have expanded at a much faster rate, resulting in an installed base of about 26 billion units at that time.”
BCG found the 10 most valuable use cases include the ability to use sensors to predict when machinery will need to be repaired, self-optimizing production, automated inventory management, remote patient monitoring, smart meters, track and trace, connected cards, distributed generation and storage, fleet management and demand response.
