Broadly, the IoT market can be categorised in three segments: Industrial, Consumer, and Services/Public Sector. In the global context, Industrial IoT is expected to drive a majority of the IoT investments, with roughly 50% share of the total IoT spending. Capital-intensive industries view IoT as an important lever to improve operational efficiencies, and hence the IoT investments are typically around use cases in asset optimisations and predictive maintenance, among others.
