IoT technology market dynamics.
Driver: Emergence of 5G communications technology
The launch of the 5th generation in cellular mobile communications or 5G is having a positive impact on the loT technology market. This is because 5G networks enhance the dependability and performance of these linked gadgets. The requirement for a quicker, more advanced network that can meet connection demands. The frequencies on which digital cellular technologies will carry data are expanded by the 5G spectrum. 5G and IoT technologies together have a wide spectrum that boosts the total bandwidth and allows a vast amount of lot devices to connect. This wider spectrum is available for use raises the total capacity of cellular networks, which allowing additional devices to connect. With the increasing Internet penetration rate, IoT is finding applications in retail, consumer electronics, automotive and transportation, agriculture, and other sectors. The continuous increase in the number of Internet users across the world is expected to strengthen the overall market for IoT, owing to the growth in Internet-enabled smart devices such as radio frequency identification (RFID), barcode scanners, and mobile computers.
Restraint: Data security and privacy concerns
The Internet of Things gateway manages a vast number of devices and the data that is sent back and forth between edge devices and cloud servers. It acts as a communication layer between these devices. The lot gateway must protect data secrecy while translating protocols. Because Internet of Things communication occurs over both public and private networks, a secure network is necessary. Data privacy is a challenge for the IoT gateway when translating protocols. Data security can be achieved by using encryption security keys, but managing those keys would still be an important concern. Despite advances in hardware and software security, many systems and solutions remain vulnerable to cyber threats. Furthermore, the need for hardware for Internet of Things applications is anticipated to be impacted by the ongoing data security concerns. This will need the development of more secure and highly encrypted hardware chipsets and networking solutions (such gateways) in the future.
Opportunities: Increased potential for the incorporation of IoT in electric and hybrid vehicles
The automotive sector made technological improvements to lower the harmful exhaust emissions from vehicles due to the strict global emission regulations. One of the significant advancement in the automobile industry is to safeguard the environment with the introduction of electric vehicles. Power electronics is a crucial component of hybrid vehicles and accounts for 20% of the overall cost of ownership, providing an opportunity for semiconductor technology. Currently in the introduction stage, these new technologies are expected to have an impact on the automotive semiconductor market in the upcoming years. Automotive electronics are becoming necessary as EVs and HEVs become more popular. Many governments provide various incentives to encourage the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles domestically, including those in France, Sweden, the UK, India, Germany, the US, Denmark, and China. Thus, there is now more opportunity for electrification due to new features and improved technologies. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMS) are consequently equipping high-end electric vehicles with an increasing number of ICs, microprocessors, and lot sensors.
Challenges: High power consumption by wireless sensor terminals/connected devices
Sensors and other peripherals in the Internet of Things consume a lot of power. IoT devices must have effective power management and minimize power consumption despite the availability of technology like wireless networking, ultra-low-power processors, and tiny mobile sensors. Another significant issue would be connectivity burden because multiple devices must be linked simultaneously. For example, a typical smart house may include between 50 and 100 connected lights, thermostats, appliances, and other devices—each of which needs a certain amount of power. The line power efficiency would be increased by the usage of devices like smart meters. The main challenge is the power management of devices using wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, as it is not practical to manually change the batteries of hundreds of sensors, actuators, and other linked devices within loT systems on a regular basis. The production of ultra-low-power chips and modules is already a priority for semiconductor makers, but battery technology and wearable and portable devices power management remain areas that require innovation.
