The enterprise and automotive Internet of Things market will grow to 5.8 billion endpoints by 2020, Gartner has predicted. This will be a potential 21% increase from this year.<\/p>\n
The research advisory company also predicts that by the end of 2019, 4.8 billion endpoints will be in use, which is a 21.5% increase from 2018.<\/p>\n
The highest user of IoT endpoints, Gartner forecasts, will be the utilities sector, with it using around 1.17 billion by the end of 2019 and 1.37 billion by 2020.<\/p>\n
Peter Middleton<\/a>, senior research director at Gartner says, \u201cElectricity smart metering, both residential and commercial will boost the adoption of IoT among utilities,\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPhysical security, where building intruder detection and indoor surveillance use cases will drive volume, will be the second largest user of IoT endpoints in 2020.\u201d He continued.<\/p>\n The area that is expected to experience the biggest growth rate by 42% is thought to be building automation, driven by connected lighting devices. This is followed by automation, which is presumed to grow by 31%. Gartner suggests that cars implanted with IoT connectivity<\/a> will be the driving force behind the rise in the market.<\/p>\n Following closely behind the growth in automotive is healthcare, which is estimated to have a 29% increase in the market due to chronic condition monitoring.<\/p>\n \u201cOverall, end users will need to prepare to address an environment where the business units will increasingly buy IoT-enabled assets without policies for support, data ownership or integration into existing business applications,\u201d said\u00a0Alfonso Velosa<\/a>, research vice president at Gartner.<\/p>\n \u201cProduct managers will need to deliver but also to clearly and loudly communicate their IoT-based business value to specific verticals and their business processes, if they are to succeed in this crowded arena,\u201d added Velosa.<\/p>\nGrowth in the market<\/h4>\n
