Travel eSIM Users to Grow 440 Percent Over the Next 5 Years
According to a new study from Juniper Research, the global number of travel eSIM users will grow from 40 million in 2024 to over 215 million by 2028.
Spending on the Internet of Things (IoT) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is forecast to reach $11.2 billion in 2018, an increase of 15.5% over the $9.7 billion recorded in 2017. IDC forecasts CEE IoT spending to sustain a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8% through the 2017‒2021 forecast period, thus surpassing the $20 billion mark in 2021.
The industries that are expected to spend the most on IoT solutions in 2018 are manufacturing ($2.2 billion), transportation ($1.6 billion), and utilities ($1.2 billion). IoT spending among manufacturers will be largely focused on solutions that support manufacturing operations and production asset management. In transportation, almost two thirds of IoT spending will go toward freight monitoring, followed by fleet management. IoT spending in the utilities industry will be dominated by smart grids for electricity, gas, and water. Consumer IoT purchases will grow faster than the market average, making it the third largest segment in 2018 at $1.2 billion. The leading consumer use cases will be related to the smart home, such as home automation, security, and smart appliances.
From a technology perspective, IoT hardware will be the largest category in 2018 in revenue terms, with $4 billion going largely toward modules and sensors, along with some spending on infrastructure and security. Services will be the second-largest technology category, followed by software and connectivity. Software spending will be led by application software, analytics software, IoT platforms, and security software. Software will also be the fastest-growing technology segment, with a five-year CAGR of 21.7%.
Among country markets, Russia will continue to be the CEE leader of IoT spending in 2018 - at almost $4 billion - followed by Poland at $2.6 billion and the Czech Republic at $1 billion. Manufacturing and transportation will be the two leading verticals in terms of IoT spending in all three countries, followed by cross-Industry in Russia and the Czech Republic and utilities in Poland. Home IoT deployments will be among the leading categories in all three countries.
