Cellular IoT Connectivity Tracker

In 2023, mobile operators worldwide earned $15 billion from 3.56 billion cellular IoT connections. The IoT revenue growth rate for mobile operators exceeded that for software vendors and hyperscalers in general in 2023. This shows that the relative importance of cellular connectivity for IoT-connected devices continues to increase.

The market for cellular IoT connections grew while the market for cellular IoT modules declined. The top five mobile IoT network operators managed 83% of all global cellular IoT connections, while the top 5 by revenue received 64% of combined revenue.

5G and 5G RedCap are expected to drive the global cellular IoT market’s forecasted 18% CAGR between 2024 and 2030.

The Global Cellular IoT Connectivity Tracker is a valuable tool for mobile operators and chipset/module/device makers. It informs strategic IoT service design, enabling new revenue channels, network optimization for growth, and partnerships for emerging IoT markets. It also drives product portfolio development for high-demand IoT technologies.
