The market for narrowband internet of things (nb-iot) was estimated to be worth $634.2 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.4% from 2022 to 2031, reaching $32.6 billion.
Narrowband IoT may be termed under emerging wireless internet of things communication technology. Narrowband IoT is based on low standards-based low power wide area (LPWA) protocol which enables a wide range of new IoT gateway devices and services. These technologies are most useful in the places which are difficult to access manually with limited bandwidth. Also known as NB-IoT, these technologies are superior in terms of the power consumption of user devices, system capacity and spectrum efficiency. Their battery typically run more than 10 years as they consume minimal power for signal processing operations. The market for narrowband IoT is expected to be driven by the increasing adoption of IoT across verticals. Also, the dramatic increase in the number of connected devices is driving the market’s growth. The decreasing price of sensors employed in such devices is also helping drive up the adoption and a significant driver of the market. Development in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and big data analytics has also enabled organizations in analyzing the large volumes of data obtained from tracking and monitoring activities using IoT networks. With such factors promoting the market growth, there are some that may hinder the market’s growth too. Factor such as firm competition from other LPWA technologies is expected to restrain the market growth. Emerging smart buildings and cities are expected to generate opportunities in the years to come.
