Strategy Analytics: The Top 10 Trends in M2M and the Internet of Things (IoT) in 2014

The Internet of Things and M2M technology are changing the world in which we live at a rapid pace: Open standards in the Internet of Things (IoT) are challenging closed platform approaches, while wearables and other consumer and lifestyle technology are opening up new ecosystems and opportunities.
Among the topics covered in its new Machine-to-Machine Strategies (M2M) service report “The Top 10 Trends in M2M and the Internet of Things (IoT) in 2014“, Strategy Analytics considers the following issues:

Will there be any standards at all in IoT and M2M in 2014 with the blurring of lines between IoT and more commercial approach of M2M players?
The third industrial revolution is underway, with Industrial giants like GE investing heavily in industrial automation tools, analytics and big data capabilities.
The advancements in networks, devices and applications and growth in lower cost, scalable processing and storage will facilitate this third industrial revolution.
The opportunity for service transformation via applications in tandem with connectivity platform development, lower cost devices and network evolution (such as LTE and other Bearer technologies) will exponentially increase the amount of data communicated by objects and will create new challenges and opportunities in the processing and storage of “big data”.
Open standards and OTT business models in IoT threaten to significantly disrupt the world of proprietary connected platforms in 2014 and beyond.
Major partnership opportunities exist with networking wearables and other consumer and lifestyle technology in the IoT as well as in areas such as health and wellness etc.

Ovum outlines operators’ M2M opportunities as it forecasts revenues will more than treble over the next five years

Although machine-to-machine (M2M) technology is a bright spot in the rapidly maturing mobile industry, operators will not realize its full potential without strategic partnering, says Ovum.
Forecasts from the global analyst firm show that over the next five years, M2M revenues will grow to reach US$44.8bn, with more than a third coming from Asia-Pacific.
New forecasts* from Ovum reveal that revenues will grow slightly more slowly than connections, reflecting the increasing competitiveness of the market and the extension of M2M into lower-value applications. Total global M2M connections will more than treble from 106.4 million in 2012 to 360.9 million in 2018, at a CAGR of 22.6percent. There will be growth across all regions, but it will be fastest in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and Africa. Revenues in Asia-Pacific will grow to almost US$15bn, at a CAGR of 26.5 percent, between 2012 and 2018. The most important industry verticals in 2018 will be healthcare, manufacturing, and energy & utilities, which are forecast to generate revenues of US$7.9bn, US$7.1bn, and US$7bn respectively by 2018.
Ovum’s M2M forecasts present a more modest and sober picture than some of those produced by other industry pundits.
Jeremy Green, Principal Analyst, Industry Communications and Broadband at Ovum, says:
“This is not a forecast of the ‘Internet of Things’ but rather of managed and paid-for connections over public mobile networks.”
“For telcos there are really two opportunities: to stand back and provide the connectivity for M2M services, or to roll up their sleeves and get involved with the end-to-end provision of solutions.”
The first is a smaller opportunity but is much more straightforward for telcos to address, according to Ovum. The second is much bigger, but involves new skills and competencies, and defining new kinds of relationship with systems integrators (SIs) and software development.
“If a carrier wants to play an essential part as a connectivity provider and focus just on that role, it must have healthy and robust relationships with device manufacturers and SIs,” explains Green. “If a carrier sees itself as an end-to-end provider, its partnering relations are even more critical, because it is unlikely to be heard at the CxO level within an enterprise client unless it is working with a global SI.”
