Introduction & Scope


INTRODUCTION
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an exploding market opportunity for manufacturers of sensor products and the technologies required to make them. Sensors are often the critical end point or starting point for IoT communications. As such, the IoT sensor market is a subset of the $123.5-billion sensor market (2016), which is forecast to grow to $240.3 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 11.8%. Specifically, sensors play a critical role in the IoT sensor market, wherein a single IoT sensor may be comprised of or rely on multiple sensors serving different functions or providing area coverage. Therefore, the IoT sensor market CAGR will more closely resemble the 49.3% growth rate of the IoT market as a whole.

New technology shaped by new requirements for IoT applications will create new product categories or bring new life to existing products through adaptations. These new requirements include: lower power and longer battery-life requirements, improved networking capability through embedded antennas, and the ability to process or store short bursts or long streams of real-time data. Techniques such as miniaturization and hybridization will come into play to drive these advances.


STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal of this report is to spotlight the important role that sensors play in IoT applications as well as to document the opportunities that the IoT provides for sensor manufacturers.
