The advance of the Internet of Things (IoT) has gone from the novelty of asking Alexa silly questions to an integral part of consumers’ lives. Consumers have synchronized and automated everything from mundane tasks to leading a healthier lifestyle. According to a recent study by Gartner, there will be 20.4 Billion connected IoT devices by the end of 2020.
Bain predicts the IoT market will grow to $520B in 2021, more than double the $235B spent in 2017. They predict that the bulk of that growth will come from data, analytics and integration.
