Cellular IoT connectivity revenues surpassed €10bn in 2022, says Berg Insight

A new report from the IoT market research firm Berg Insight says that global IoT (internet of things) connectivity revenues increased 24% to reach €10.8 billion in 2022 as the decline in the global ARPU (average revenue per unit) decelerated. The ARPU dropped just 1% to €0.38. On average, IoT connectivity revenues account for about 2% of total revenues for the mobile operator groups. By 2027, Berg Insight projects that there will be 5.3 billion IoT devices connected to cellular networks worldwide, generating annual connectivity revenues of €21.4 billion.

Will SIM innovations turn communications management platforms into IoT springboards?

IoT connectivity resembles the final frontier for simplifying deployment of devices. Currently, the process of enabling connectivity for global devices involves needless complexity, multiple layers of lengthy administration, performance guarantees in different markets that are hard to verify, currency fluctuations and challenging-to-reach local support.

Global connectivity often demands multiple vendors or even in the case of a single vendor, a service actually provided by a third party. This leaves IoT service providers facing higher costs than necessary, a convoluted management burden and the very real possibility that they can’t find out the status of their devices

In this report:

  • Case Study: How satellite connectivity can enable universal IoT coverage, even in remote or rural regions
  • Interview: floLIVE co-founder, Rony Cohen, discusses simplifying and securing IoT Connectivity by thinking global and acting local
  • Report: Distinguish your IoT offering from competitors by implementing a powerful connectivity management platform
