5G IoT Market by Connection, Radio Technology (5G NR Standalone and 5G NR Non-Standalone Architecture), Range (Short- and Wide-Range IoT Devices), Vertical (Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare, Government), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025

MarketsandMarkets forecasts the global 5G IoT market size to grow from USD 0.7 billion in 2020 to USD 6.3 billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 55.4% during the forecast period. IoT has been radically changing consumer and business landscape over the past few decades. The number of connected devices is expected to reach around 22 to 25 billion by 2025 ranging from consumer wearable devices and industrial devices to connected cars. The diverse set of connected devices from a range of industry verticals needs a unique communication infrastructure. In addition, these connected devices require low power, faster connectivity, and higher security. Today, several connectivity technologies are available in the market, such as non-cellular, non-carrier, cellular IoT, and satellite network. Bluetooth, Zigbee, Long Range (LoRa), Sigfox, LLow-power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), Radio-frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) (Category M1 (Cat-M1) and Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT)) are some of the key options available in the market for IoT connectivity. Enterprises are leveraging these communication techniques as per the demand and requirement of the IoT network.

Among range, the short-range IoT devices segment is expected to account for the highest market share during the forecast period
The short range IoT devices segment is estimated to show the highest market share in 2020 and expected to witness strong growth characteristics in the coming years. With emerging new application areas, short-range IoT devices need another type of connectivity solution that can fulfill the growing need for data speed. For instance, in-building connectivity devices in manufacturing, healthcare, energy and utilities, and retail sectors demand low latency and high power, which are fulfilled by the 5G network.

Among radio technology, the 5G New Radio (NR) standalone architecture segment is expected to have the highest growth during the forecast period.
The overall adoption of 5G NR standalone architecture is expected to increase during the forecast period, owing to a wide range of functionalities and core features that the architecture provides. The 5G NR standalone solutions have various built-in capabilities such as network slicing, ultra-low latency, Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS), multi-Gbps support, and virtualization.

North America is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period
The geographic analysis of the smart cities market comprises 5 regions, namely, North America, APAC, Europe, Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America. North America held the highest share in the 5G IoT market in 2020, owing to the increasing number of connected IoT devices in the region. North America comprises the US and Canada and is one of the leading regions in terms of the development of 5G IoT. Verizon has planned to roll out 5G services across 30 cities in the US by the end of 2020. T-Mobile has also announced to launch 5G services in 30 cities. AT&T has already introduced 5G services in 12 cities. These service providers have collaborated with network enablers such as Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung, to launch 5G services across the US.

Recent Developments
In February 2019, Nokia partnered with Korea Telecom (KT) for conducting trails of 5G Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and network slicing. Nokia will also help KT to enhance 5G service and network operational efficiency.
In February 2019, Nokia collaborated with Vodafone on active antennas to boost 5G radio capacity and reduce the total cost of ownership.
In December 2018, Telefonica and Nokia signed an MoU in which both the companies agreed to build “Early 5G Innovation Cluster" in Berlin. This innovation cluster will provide a platform to test Nokia’s 5G technology under real-life conditions with subscribers of Telefonica Deutschland network.
In July 2018, Telstra in collaboration with Ericson and Intel completed the world’s first end-to-end 5G non-standalone data call on a commercial mobile network. This call was made using 3.5GHz spectrum, Intel’s 5G mobile trail platform, and Ericsson’s commercial 5G NR equipment.
In June 2018, Sprint partnered with NXM Labs, a blockchain IoT security company, to launch the first 5G-Ready Connected Car platform with the IoT blockchain security feature. This platform helps in ensuring the security of families through smart parental control and anti-theft. Additionally, it helps in keeping track of driving expenses and finding nearby parking.
In June 2018, Sprint is planning to partner with Adaptive Motion Group (AMG) to deploy Mobi, a self-driving robot that helps in charging industrial vehicles, electric buses, and cars. The robot would move using artificial intelligence, Sprint’s 5G mobile network, and the IoT technology. The company would be deploying 5G network in the first half of 2019.
In February 2018, AT&T acquired FiberTower Corporation for USD 207 million. As per this acquisition, FiberTower Corporation provides 39 GHz and millimeter spectrum to AT&T for helping it launch its mobile 5G services.
