IoT Sensors Market Dynamics
Driver: Higher adoption of IPv6
The Internet Protocol (IP), a more flexible, reliable, and scalable protocol than the Network Control Protocol (NCP), was introduced for routing data between networks or hosts. There are two versions of IP: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv6 is the evolutionary development of IP. It uses a 32-bit address scheme, allowing for over 4 billion addresses. With the growing number of Internet users, the number of unused IPv4 addresses is likely to be exhausted because all devices, including computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles, that connect to the internet require an IP address. Hence, IPv6 was introduced to fulfill the need for more internet addresses. IPv6 is designed to allow the internet to grow steadily in terms of the number of hosts connected and the total amount of data traffic transmitted. The adoption of IPv6 has boosted the IoT market as IPv6 utilizes 128-bit Internet addresses. It provides around 2,128 unique addresses, which are more than sufficient to fulfill the requirements of present and future communication devices.
Restraint: Data security concerns
With the emergence of new technologies, data intrusions are also increasing rapidly. IoT platforms are newly developed, and there is a lack of security standards. This is a major hindrance to the growth of the IoT sensors market because enterprise data security is paramount while developing analytics solutions for several vertical-specific applications. Moreover, many data security standards need to be followed to analyze large-scale data. Failing to adhere to these standards could result in data tampering and raise doubts about the authenticity of results generated via the analytics platform being used. In the IoT ecosystem, data is generated from machines and humans; when it comes to personal data such as patient details or financial details, security is a top priority that cannot be compromised.
Opportunity: Cross domain collaboration across businesses
IoT offers an exponential growth opportunity for organizations and businesses to adapt to technological trends and innovations. Cross-domain collaborations and new business models are of utmost importance to realize the full potential of IoT and become successful in the IoT market. For instance, in March 2015, NEXCOM International (Taiwan) developed 6 IoT applications—IoT robotics, Industry 4.0, connected cars, responsive stores, medical informatics, and security—in the industry. Opening 6 different market segments within the IoT ecosystem allowed the company to target a wide range of IoT applications.
Challenge: Lack of common protocol and communication standards
It is necessary to define common protocols or communications standards to enable smart devices to communicate with each other, share data, or form an intelligent network. Interoperability and easy exchange of information between the connected devices is of utmost importance for the further growth of IoT, which would drive the demand for semiconductor chips. The current technical scenario of IoT does not provide any architectural solution or a universal standard to solve the interoperability issue. A universal standard is required in either connectivity type, data formatting, or protocol.
IoT Sensors Market Map:
Inertial sensors channel to capture the second largest market growth of the IoT sensors market during the forecast period.
An inertial sensor is a combination of the accelerometer and gyroscope functionality. These sensors are used to detect and measure acceleration, tilt, shock, vibration, rotation, and multiple degrees of freedom motions. They are used in the marine, automotive, military, aviation, wearable, consumer, medical, and automotive industries. They are useful in geoengineering, condition monitoring, and navigation.
Ethernet to have largest market size in Wired network technology during the forecast period.
Ethernet, or 802.3, is a network protocol that controls data transmission over the local area network (LAN). For the past two decades, Ethernet has had a major influence on nearly every aspect of communication systems and networking. Initially, it was used in LAN, but now it is used in most WANs too. Ethernet is cost-effective and is popular for emerging applications, such as video transport and storage area networks.
The IoT sensors market in APAC to have largest market szie during the forecast period
India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia are key contributors to the growth and development of the IoT sensors market in Asia Pacific.
