According to latest market research report "Industry 4.0 Market by Technology (IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Industrial Metrology, Industrial Robotics, AR & VR, Blockchain, 3D Printing, Digital Twin, and 5G – Offering, Application, and End Users) and Geography- Global Forecast to 2024", is estimated to be valued USD 71.7 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 156.6 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 16.9% from 2019 to 2024.
Increasing adoption of the industrial internet worldwide in manufacturing units and growing focus on enhanced efficiency of machinery and systems and reduced production costs play a significant role in the growth of the market worldwide. Also, the growing demand for industrial robotics is expected to fuel the growth of the Industry 4.0 market
5G Market is expected to commercialize in late 2019 and is expected to grow at highest CAGR during forecasted period.
The speed and reliability of 5G are expected to have a massive impact on M2M and IoT. Key reasons for the increased adoption of new M2M technologies are better connectivity for smooth communication and low power requirement. To achieve effective machine-to-machine communication, the existing capacity of mobile networks must be able to handle billions of nodes that are expected to ascend in the next couple of years. Currently, the network capacity is inefficient to handle M2M and human-based communications, as well as their different communication patterns such as latency time.
IoT is expected to hold largest market share of industry 4.0 market during forecasted period
Internet of Things (IoT) in the industrial sector, has given rise to a new concept known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), also known as Industrial Internet or Industry 4.0. IoT in the industrial sector brings together advancements of two transformative revolutions, namely, the countless machines, facilities, fleets, and networks that emerged from the industrial revolution and the more recent powerful advancements in computing, information, and communication systems brought about by the internet revolution.
