Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Connections Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The global machine-to-machine (M2M) connections market attained a value of about USD 27.34 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.50% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach approximately USD 42.46 Billion by 2034.
Increasing Wireless Technology Applications to Spur the Market Growth
The global market for machine-to-machine (M2M) connections is being driven by the prevalence of wireless technology in various uses. Owing to the growing adoption of short-range networks like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for applications in multiple devices, including smart medical devices, in-car entertainment systems, and smart speakers like Amazon Alexa or Google Home, are driving the market growth for M2M connections. In addition, owing to the penetration of smartphones due to rising standards of living and inflatable disposable incomes, wireless connectivity is further generating market demand for M2M connectivity with the presence of cellular networks like LTE/4G and 5G technology. Furthermore, the emergence of smart-home technology that allows remote monitoring of home appliances like lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, among others, is augmenting the market growth for wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) connections in major developed and developing countries.
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Connections Market Segmentation
Machine-to-machine (M2M) connections refer to the ability of machines to communicate with each other independently, eliminating the need for human intervention. Software technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) facilitate the communication between systems, allowing them to make their autonomous decisions.
The market, on the basis of technology, can broadly be segmented into:
The wireless technology segment can further be categorised into short range and cellular network.
Based on end user, the market can be divided into:
Based on region, the market can be divided into:
The utility segment is anticipated to be a significant market driver of the global market for M2M connections. Utility companies often rely on M2M connection to harvest energy, such as oil and gas, detect worksite factors such as pressure, temperature, and equipment status. In addition to this, M2M technology can be utilised for billing consumers with the use of smart meters that measure the usage of electricity or water, hence impelling the market growth. Smart meters can be installed in commercial and residential settings and offer a real-time update on energy utilisation, along with the calculated fare.
Wireless connections like Wi-Fi can enable automatic data transmission, thus eliminating the need for manual meter readings. In addition, users can verify the credibility of the calculated bills by monitoring energy usage to avoid the scope of error, hence invigorating the market growth. Moreover, with the outburst of coronavirus pandemic, demand for M2M connectivity is further accelerating from the utility sector to avoid human interaction and thereby reducing the risk of infection.
