GlobalData expects this segment to still occupy 73 per cent of the overall IoT market in 2024.
"The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the crucial role the IoT has come to play in our lives. Several IoT use cases saw growing adoption during the pandemic, including using connected thermal cameras to detect potential Covid-19 infections and sensors for monitoring office occupancy levels," said Jasaswini Biswal, Associate Project Manager for Thematic Research at GlobalData.
The Covid-19 driven new digital transformation wave will fuel higher growth across all IoT markets.
