Key Market Trends

Cellular Connections is Expected to Hold Significant Share

  • 5G is expected to unleash a massive IoT ecosystem that would allow networks to serve for billions of connected devices. For Instance, according to Ericsson's Mobility Report of June 2019, More than 10 million 5G subscriptions are projected worldwide by the end of 2019. This is indicative of the fact that the market is poised to grow throughout the forecast period.
  • Also according to the latest update of Cisco’s Mobile Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast (2017 – 2022), by 2022 mobile traffic will represent nearly 20% of global IP traffic and will reach 930 exabytes annually. This in itself is indicative of the fact that M2M connections are expected to have stronger growth throughout the forecast period.
  • Also, the increasing number of startups that are focused on expanding their market share is helping the number of cellular connections to grow. For instance, in August 2019, Space startup announced its plans to launch thousands of satellite ‘cell towers’ that connect to the average phone. Such instances are expected to boost the adoption of the M2M connections over the forecast period.
