IoT Monetization Market

Automotive & transportation, industrial, and retail applications would lead the IoT monetization market

Automotive & Transportation

The automotive & transportation sector covers connected cars and intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) such as sensors and communication & traffic control technologies. These communication & traffic control technologies assist states, cities, and towns worldwide to meet the increasing demand for surface transportation systems. Vehicle detection and surveillance technologies are an integral part of ITSs as they gather all or a part of the data used in these systems. The systems are being continuously developed to provide enhanced speed monitoring, traffic counting, presence detection, headway measurement, and vehicle classification.

Industrial

IoT plays a key role in industrial applications. The connection of objects through embedded smart devices or through the use of unique detectors and data carriers assist in communicating with an intelligent supporting network infrastructure and information systems; this would optimize production processes and help in monitoring the entire lifecycle of objects-from production to dumping. By tagging items and containers, greater transparency can be obtained about the status of the shop floor, location and disposition of materials, and status of production machines. Nowadays, the manufacturing industry is facing several issues such as fluctuations in regulations across different regions, rising employer costs, and frequent breakdown of machines.

Retail

The retail sector deals with a large number of people, and IoT in the retail sector caters to the demands and needs of these customers. Retailers are focusing on gaining maximum advantage through IoT solutions and discovering various functional areas in which IoT could draw major revenue benefits, along with providing innovative solutions to their customers. The use of IoT in these functional areas would help retailers improve their business efficiency and draw better customer retention. The concept of IoT in retail has revolutionized the way retailers interact with their customers.
