The Internet of Things (IoT) has come a long way from a vending machine and a toaster to smart cities and connected cars. Despite IoT's prevalence today, many people are still unaware of the technology. In the broad term, IoT can be considered a giant network of connected devices, an ecosystem that exchanges data over a wired or wireless network. According to Insider Intelligence forecast, there will be 3.74 billion IoT mobile connections worldwide by 2025 and more than 64 billion IoT devices installed by 2026.

IoT After Covid-19

Covid-19 had a different impact on different segments of IoT. Some companies saw a 50% decrease in new order intake as the pandemic restricted their customers' budgets and IoT spending. On the other hand, the pandemic accelerated customers' spending in several different segments of IoT, such as IoT hardware and IoT cloud/infrastructure services, which grew 5.4% and 34.7%, respectively.

The overall global enterprise spending on IoT grew to USD 128.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12.1%. And China, which weathered well against the pandemic with its Zero-Covid policy, has seen its enterprise IoT spending grow by 23.5% in 2020, which was twice the global average. As the impact of the pandemic slowly fades, the IoT market is re-accelerating. According to IoT Analytics, the increasing use of digital technologies will lead to a CAGR for IoT spending of 26.7% between 2022 and 2025.

IoT And The Metaverse

Metaverse and its immersive virtual environment will increase demand for more advanced IoT architectures. Like many have said, the real hype of the metaverse lies within AR and not VR. The ability to stay interconnected between the virtual world and reality is vital in driving up demand for IoT spending. While the metaverse will blur the line between reality and virtual in the future through XR, it will need to leverage IoT devices such as sensors and wearables (sensor gloves, head-mounted devices, glasses, etc.).
