Creating a list of the top IoT companies can be challenging. Apple has a reputation for being a leading IoT company among consumers, despite having tepid traction for its HomeKit and HealthKit platforms. Meanwhile, Google is working on an array of IoT projects while Microsoft has focused on Windows IoT Core and Azure. It is also difficult, however, to find concrete information that shows how much IoT-related sales each of the companies on this list has. A company's overall buying power, however, is one deciding factor because developing IoT technologies and platforms demands a substantial investment.
