The top three emerging trends driving the global IoT platform market according to Technavio research analysts are:

Development of an open Wi-Fi network

OpenWireless.org is a cyber activist group seeking to improve the Internet connectivity and access by encouraging sharing among users. The organization has developed a software that can convert the wireless router of the mobile device into a wireless access point. If people accept and adopt this idea, then a ubiquitous public wireless network can be created.

This untapped bandwidth can be utilized by using the sharing software developed by OpenWireless.org. The group plans to route the guest traffic over the anonymity software Tor or a VPN for enhanced privacy. It will use a protocol called EAP-TLS, which is the equivalent of HTTPS, to encrypt each user's link,” according to Sunil.

Growing diversity in IoT standards

Vendors across the IoT market have to work in tandem on an open-source platform to ensure interoperability among the IoT devices and also set some standards for all the devices. The AllSeen Alliance, founded in 2013, was created to develop a larger ecosystem of vendors and products.

Leading enterprises including consumer electronics manufacturers, home appliances manufacturers, service providers, retailers, enterprise technology companies, innovative startups, and chipset manufacturers have joined hands to develop the framework AllJoyn.

Industrial Internet revolution

Industrial internet of things (IIoT) is a combination of big data analytics and IoT. It offers a number of opportunities for organizations across sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, and transportation. Currently, these sectors account for 60% of the global economy.

At present, IIoT is in its early stage but is poised for tremendous growth. The increase in the number of sensors shipped has fueled the global IIoT market. Large companies and governments have taken industrial Internet initiatives such as Made in China Strategy 2025 and Internet Plus in China and Industry 4.0 in Germany to encourage digitalization of industries.

The key vendors are as follows:

  • Alcatel-Lucent (Nokia)
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • AT&T
  • Cisco Systems
  • Microsoft Corporation
