Global IoT Middleware Market Size study & Forecast, by Platform Type (Device Management, Application Management, Connectivity Management), Organization Size (SMEs, Large Enterprises), Vertical (Manufacturing, Government and Defense, Automotive and Transpo

The Global IoT Middleware Market is valued at approximately USD 12.44 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 15.82% over the forecast period 2025-2035. IoT middleware serves as the critical connective tissue between devices, applications, and networks, simplifying the integration and management of complex IoT ecosystems. It enables enterprises to bridge heterogeneous devices with cloud platforms, data analytics systems, and enterprise applications while ensuring scalability and security. The surge of connected devices across industries, coupled with growing demand for real-time data insights and automation, is shaping the expansion of this market. Additionally, increasing investments in smart infrastructure and rising adoption of cloud-based IoT platforms are accelerating growth worldwide.

The rise of digital transformation initiatives across industries has significantly amplified the adoption of IoT middleware. These solutions streamline device interoperability, ensure smooth data flow, and allow enterprises to build data-driven decision-making frameworks. According to IoT Analytics, the number of global IoT-connected devices reached 14.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to cross 29 billion by 2030. This rapid proliferation is prompting organizations to deploy middleware platforms capable of handling massive device networks while maintaining security and compliance.
