Global Internet of Things (IoT) for Public Safety Market Size, by Component (Solutions, Platform, Service), End User (Industrial IoT, Connected Healthcare, Smart Transportation, Smart Utilities, Smart Building and Home Automation, Homeland Security, Other

The Global Internet of Things (IoT) for Public Safety Market is valued at approximately USD 64.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.90% during the forecast period 2025-2035. IoT for public safety refers to an ecosystem of connected devices, platforms, and services designed to enhance emergency response, mitigate risks, and ensure citizen security across urban and industrial infrastructures. From intelligent video surveillance and predictive analytics to connected healthcare and critical infrastructure monitoring, IoT has emerged as the backbone of modern safety frameworks. Growing digital transformation initiatives, rising cybersecurity threats, and government mandates on public safety infrastructure are fuelling robust investments across this space. Moreover, as urban populations swell and smart city projects accelerate globally, the market is poised to witness significant adoption.

The momentum behind IoT-enabled public safety solutions has been amplified by the rising frequency of natural disasters, terrorist threats, and industrial hazards. These solutions help prevent operational disruptions by enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and situational awareness. For instance, governments worldwide are heavily investing in AI-powered IoT surveillance systems to improve emergency response times. According to World Bank data, global urbanization has crossed 57% of the population as of 2023, creating unprecedented pressure on civic authorities to manage safety at scale. In parallel, the emergence of edge computing and 5G connectivity is reshaping IoT deployments, making them faster and more secure. However, high upfront deployment costs and data privacy concerns could restrain the pace of adoption over the forecast horizon.
