Market Trends of LTE IoT Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the LTE IoT Market according to our research experts:
Industrial Sector is Expected to Grow at a Significant Rate
- The IoT transforms how organizations communicate and regulate their everyday businesses and industrial processes. Its widespread adoption across industries has proven well-suited for sectors that manage many assets and coordinate complex and distributed operations.
- Due to the complexity and diversity of industrial requirements, numerous communication systems are required. With new technologies in place, current warfare is now referred to as network-centric warfare, wherein a robustly networked architecture improves information sharing, enhancing the quality of information and shared situational awareness. Such extended applications and serviceability of the market type have helped it to create a demand specific to the market and end users' needs.
- Flexibility, interoperability, and longevity are critical characteristics of networked communications for the LTE applications that are helping to create demand for the end users, maintaining close coordination within the team and across an adjacent and higher operating units in industries. With the advancement in the LTE and the development of IoT, the market's future holds a lot of promise for enhanced situational awareness via voice, video, and data delivered not only limited to the emergency operations/dispatch of services but also first responders in the field.
- IoT devices' rapid automation and development in harsh and dangerous environments, such as oil rigs, underwater pipelines, off-shore platforms, blast furnaces, etc., will boost the demand for LTE IoT devices and sensors.
- The NB-IoT technology is also widely used for manufacturing purposes. LTE-M and NB-IoT, the two IoT technologies, are well-suited to enable cost-effective, secure, and dependable connectivity to large machinery with a long lifespan. Both technologies can penetrate deep inside factory structures, allowing connectivity to reach machines below ground level and other inaccessible areas. For instance, the Wanxiang group in China uses China Unicom's NB-IoT network to monitor the manufacturing of automotive parts to ensure quality traceability.

Europe holds a Significant Market Share
- Europe is gaining the LTE IoT market presence owing to the widespread adoption of LTE technology for enterprises' IoT applications. The well-established company of some prominent players across the region, such as Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Halberd Bastion Pty Ltd, and u-blox AG, among others, is expected further to assist the regional market in the overall growth.
- The region is leading in terms of the LTE IoT coverage area, with some of the ongoing development by prominent players across the region fueling the demand across the region. For instance, Huawei and Vodafone opened an open lab in Newbury, UK, for R&D of LTE IoT technologies and applications.
- European Commission and European Union member states are committed to developing strategies to support experiments and the deployment of IoT telecom and allied services. Various cellular operators are also set for the widespread deployment of LTE IoT in the UK and the rest of Europe, where Germany, the UK, and France are the top 3 contributors to the LTE IoT market in Europe. Further, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have also deployed several pre-commercial trials and plots across Europe.
- The European country's reliance on the latest technology to maintain its competitiveness and business efficiency are the major reason for the rapid acceptance of LTE IoT in European Industries. These devices have wide applications in construction, logistics and fleet management, energy, manufacturing, etc. For instance, the construction industry finds wide applications for Temperature, Humidity, motion, and light sensors.
