Growth in the number
of connected devices
is accelerating, driven
by a growing range of
applications and business
models, supported by
falling modem costs.
A strong foundation for
this growth is the extensive
cellular coverage, with an
estimated 90 percent of the
world’s population covered
Mobile phones have been the
largest growth segment amongst
connected devices. Looking
forward, Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
is expected to show strong growth,
driven by new use cases, e.g., in
cars, machines and utility metering.
The connected home is driving
connectivity in consumer electronics
– mostly over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
In total, 26 billion connected devices
are expected by 2020, of which
almost 15 billion will be phones,
tablets, laptops and PCs. The total
excludes passive sensors and
radio frequency ID tags.
