The Internet of Things in 2020
We’ve previously posted about the Internet of Things and the pace at which new devices are connected to the internet. However, this archived (but still relevant) infographic does a much better job at visualizing this exponential growth.
There are roughly 10 billion devices connected to the web today. By 2020, Intel estimates there will be 31 billion devices connected. Here are some other predictions for the IoT in 2020:
- IDC forecasts the market to be worth $7.1 trillion
- Cisco has estimated by then, 5 billion people and 50 billion devices will be connected
- Morgan Stanley feels the number should be even higher: up to 75 billion devices connected in 2020
Regardless of whether it is 30 or 75 billion, that number is still huge – and investors need to stay on top of this development. There is no shortage of opportunities!
