“While the homogeneity of connectivity needs is the growth driver in the North American market, government mandates and more openly eco-conscious cultures will drive Western Europe and Asia Pacific to outpace North America in terms of IoT revenues and installed base through 2020,” said IDC in a statement.
A collection of vendors, service providers and systems integrators must co-exist and integrate products and solutions to realize success, said IDC.
IDC forecasts that the installed and connected base of IoT units will reach approximately 30 billion in 2020.
