According to our research, IoT has the potential to support total service spending of more than USD 250 billion in the year 2016.

There are significant regional variations between more established markets, such as Europe, North America and Oceania, where M2M’s share of total connections exceeds the global average, and rapidly developing markets, such as Asia, which have experienced annual growth of 55% a year between 2010 and 2013. M2M connections as a share of total connections is an indicator of M2M market maturity. The top four markets worldwide by this measure in 2013 were Sweden (23%), Norway (15%), New Zealand (14%) and Finland (11%).

IBM would invest USD 3 billion over the next four years into internet of things division. According to the Cisco study, there is the possibility for USD 14 trillion profits for the next two decades.
