Key Findings & Highlights:
The IoT services market is an emerging market and dynamic market. Current spending is limited, to ~$2.6bn. But growth potential is very high (2017-2022 CAGR of 23%).
The IoT services market is not a single market, but a series of several major markets, centered around major vertical use cases. Each vertical use case is made of a series of technologies including sensors/devices, messaging gateways, IoT platforms, and analytics algorithms, as well as M2M communication services. IoT’s underlying technology is therefore heterogenous and therefore drives a wide ecosystem of technology partners for IT service vendors.
Spending growth will be relatively homogeneous across geographies. Looking into detail,
- North America will remain the largest market over the next five years, thanks to its appetite for digital projects and its positioning on the three use cases (connected car, industry 4.0, and smart city/building management) with the most traction
- Spending in Europe will accelerate and match the growth of North America, thanks to better economic conditions and adoption of industry 4.0
- The majority of IoT-related projects, in APAC, are conducted in China, India, and Japan.
Adoption of IoT services often results from consulting engagements, with clients aiming to identify IoT business cases. These consulting engagements result into small to mid-sized systems integration projects.
Looking ahead, IoT service projects will be increasing in number and size. Over time, they will turn to run mode, fueling demand for application management and IT infrastructure services.
The largest IoT service vendors are Accenture, IBM Global Services, Atos, TCS, and Harman Connected Services.
