Mexican Industrial IoT market revenue is expected to increase from $1.13 billion in 2016 to $3.96 billion by 2022, at a compound annual growth rate of 23.2%. Some of the main drivers for IoT growth are the migration from IPv4 to IPv6 and from 4G/LTE to 5G to provide future addresses and bandwidth for IoT. 5G will increase network capacity nearly ten-fold, with data speeds greater than 1 Gbps and near-zero latency and IPv6, the latest Internet protocol, can assign 100 unique IP addresses to every atom on the surface of the earth. Additionally, average selling price for sensors is projected to decline with prices falling at twice the rate of the previous 5 years. The Mexican industrial IoT market ecosystem comprises vendors, integrators, and service providers offering IoT wireless or fixed two-way communication technologies. The study presents business cases and market drivers and restraints through 2022. It provides insights regarding growth opportunities and emerging trends that will affect market participants over the forecast period.
