Connected Worker Market

The global connected worker market is expected to grow from USD 8.62 billion in 2025 to USD 20.18 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 18.5% during the forecast period.

In the connected worker market, the expansion of cloud infrastructure is emerging as a pivotal enabler for scalable and secure platforms that support diverse industrial use cases. Key trends include the adoption of cloud-native connected worker solutions that integrate wearables, IoT devices, and AR/VR applications into centralized platforms. These trends allow enterprises to manage large-scale deployments across multiple sites. Driving factors stem from the need for flexibility, real-time data processing, and reduced IT overheads, with cloud providers offering seamless scalability, AI-driven analytics, and built-in cybersecurity frameworks. Use cases are prominent in manufacturing (remote monitoring of production lines, predictive maintenance dashboards), logistics and warehousing (cloud-based task tracking and digital workflows), and utilities and energy (remote assistance and compliance documentation accessible across distributed assets).
