The global narrowband-Iot (NB-IoT) market size is expected to reach USD 6,020.2 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 34.9% from 2019 to 2025, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing demand for deployment of innovative technologies to track and monitor assets and people accurately in line with the smart city initiatives being pursued aggressively all around the world is expected to drive the growth of the market. Other factors, such as low power consumption, lower component costs, and wider coverage, are also expected to contribute toward the growth of the market.
Narrowband-IoT, which is also known as LTE Cat NB1, happens to be a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) network technology standard used to connect a wide range of smart sensors and devices using a wireless cellular network. NB-IoT devices operate in the licensed spectrum and ensure secure and reliable connectivity to end users.
Incumbents of the automotive industry are responding to the passengers’ safety concerns by adopting emerging technologies that can potentially offer safer, convenient, and efficient transportation. As such, the use of Narrowband-IoT in the automotive industry is growing rapidly owing to the capability of NB-IoT to accurately track vehicles, identify and avoid highway congestions, and subsequently contribute toward effective traffic management. The looming commercialization of the upcoming connected and autonomous vehicles is also expected to play a key role in driving the growth of the NB-IoT market over the forecast period.
Energy and utility companies are widely adopting the NB-IoT technology for smart meters to remotely monitor the usage of power, water, and gas in residential and commercial buildings, and to obtain the usage data for issuing monthly bills. The usage data also helps energy and utility companies in tracking the consumption and formulating energy-saving strategies accordingly.
