Internet of Things (IoT) Middleware Market by Type (IoT Application & Data Management), by IoT Platform (Application Enablement, Device & Connectivity Management), by Services, by End Users, by Industry Verticals and by Regions - Global Forecast to 2020

[171 Pages Report] The Internet of Things (IoT) middleware market is estimated to grow from USD 3.86 Billion in 2015 to USD 11.58 Billion by 2020, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 24.6% from 2015 to 2020.

 The emergence of the IoT and wireless communication technologies has assisted in connecting various objects over the network. It has enabled human beings to interact with these connected objects in their day-to-day life. However, prevalent computing in the IoT imposes various challenges, such as lack of knowledge of the IoT middleware platforms and investment prioritization.

A substantial challenge is also imposed by the occurrence of a number of events, leading to a congestion and low level of event processing over the network. Being the backbone of IoT, the middleware addresses all the above mentioned issues by joining the heterogeneous connected devices through application enablement platform, device management platform, and connectivity management platform. It also assists in improving the performance and assuring the control of the IoT applications through modularized access control policies.

IoT middleware system integrates connected devices and servers for smoothening and strengthening the network communication process. IoT middleware is a computer application and platform that provides services and interoperability beyond operating systems to various components and applications of a distributed system. However, middleware is the connective tissue that can make or break many IoT initiatives – based on the fact that interoperability, data in motion, security, and scalability would rely heavily on the middleware innovation to support global adoption of the IoT products.

At present, the IoT middleware market is moderately incoherent, with little acceptance over adopting middleware application during the forecast period. Companies such as Davra Networks, ClearBlade, and myDevices believe that enterprise IoT would be a service driven industry. IoT middleware platform or product supports the collection and transition of raw data and makes it available to an application layer from end points, such as Zigbee, Zwave, NFC, and Sensors. This data eventually gets translated into usable business intelligence, which effectively constitutes middleware.

From being focused on single functionality to strategizing on multi-functional solutions, and diversified technologies across industry verticals, and end users, the IoT middleware market is projected to grow exponentially. According to MarketsandMarkets, application, platforms, and service providers play a major role in the market ecosystem; the North America and Europe accounted for approximately 60% of the overall market share in 2015.

Although, enterprises are still in the exploration phase of evaluating the vertical application of the IoT and M2M technologies, the increasing demand of Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and heterogeneous devices has accelerated the growth of the IoT middleware market. The driving factors such as interoperability, data in motion, security, and scalability, supports the adoption of the IoT enabled platforms, such as application enablement platform, device management platform, and connectivity management platform. However, most of the technology vendors across various verticals, such as manufacturing, healthcare, energy and utilities, transportation and logistics, agriculture, and others (BFSI, retail, education) are planning to spend a huge proportion of the revenue on the research and development of the IoT middleware application and associated platform offerings, which entails most of the demand-side enterprises to adopt platforms, such-as device management, connectivity management, and application enablement. Additionally, middleware applications such as data and application management are facilitating seamless integration across various heterogeneous devices, applications, and networks that help organizations to make their systems and services more effective, efficient, and profitable in the market space.

The global IoT middleware market has been segmented on the basis of applications, platforms, services, end users, verticals, and regions. The application market has been categorized further into application management, data management, and others. Similarly, platform covers application enablement platform, device management platform, and connectivity management platform. The services have been classified into system integration and professional services. The report covers SMBs and enterprises as end users of this particular market. The industry verticals covered include manufacturing, healthcare, energy and utilities, transportation and logistics, agriculture, and others (retail, BFSI, and education). The market study has also been segmented on the basis of regions into North America, Europe, APAC, MEA, and Latin America.

The key players in this market are Prosyst, ClearBlade, IBM Corporation, Red Hat, Inc., and Cisco Systems, Inc. Based on the various key findings and market dynamics, IoT middleware and platform market would be exciting great opportunity for all the stake holders to invest in this market. The global IoT middleware market is expected to reach USD 11.58 Billion by 2020 from USD 3.86 Billion in 2015, at a CAGR of 24.6% during the forecast period. Smaller emerging players, with increasingly growing competence are expected to give a tough competition to the major technology vendors during the forecast period.
