Frost & Sullivan’s global IoT and Edge predictions for 2025 are based on insights gathered from our regional research teams. The contributions from research analysts leverage the extensive Frost & Sullivan knowledge base alongside both primary and secondary research.
The report identifies the top 10 growth opportunities for 2025, encompassing analysis of the significant trends influencing advancements in IoT technologies, new business models, emerging use cases, and the latest initiatives guiding companies’ digital transformation journey toward a more secure, carbon-neutral approach.
Our predictions are validated by findings from our latest IT decision-makers (ITDM) survey conducted in Q4 2024. The survey involved 681 decision-makers in IoT and multi-access edge computing (MEC), comprising questions about IoT security and adoption directed to organizations of various sizes and industries in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Key findings from the survey revealed that organizations are concerned about IoT security and data protection, the high cost of connectivity, and the complexity of system integration in IoT projects. The adoption of low-power consumption, affordable, and secure connectivity technologies will be crucial for enterprises’ IoT projects in 2025.
