Rising adoption of 5G technology to drive cellular IoT modules market

The cellular IoT modules market is set to reach US$20.83 billion by 2033, up from the US$16.88 billion it is worth in 2023, according to new analysis from Future Market Insights. 

The growth represents a CAGR of 23.4% in the market during the forecast period.

FMI says it is projected that the rising adoption of 5G technology will drive further market expansion. Demand for cellular IoT modules is expected to rise because of the 5G technology's increased data speeds, lower latency, and more coverage.

The growth of mHealth services and government initiatives to support IoT in healthcare are also expected to contribute to the cellular IoT module market expansion. The overall market share is being impacted by the expansion of healthcare facilities and the rising demand for healthcare services.

A crucial component of cellular IoT security policy is cloud-based security, as insecure cloud infrastructure increases the risk of data theft and device piracy. For instance, a drone used for surveillance or delivery can process information like imaging data and navigational instructions on its own.

Applications of Cellular IoT Modules in Different Industries

Automotive Industry: The sales of cellular IoT modules in the automotive industry are expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the increased demand for connected automobiles. Since connected automobiles allow communication between vehicles and with the outside world, the automotive industry is projected to undergo substantial change as a result. 

Telecom Industry: Currently, the telecom industry improves the cellular IoT modules market outlook. The market's expansion is also aided by the industry's rapid digitisation and growing level of automation. Solutions for the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and Long-Term Evolution for Machines are being implemented by numerous medium-sized and large-scale businesses.
