Nearly 20 billion IoT and connected devices will be deployed worldwide by the end of 2017, and a further 10 billion will be added over the next four years. Enterprise IoT has been the key sector in recent years but our longer term projections suggest that the smart home is likely to become a major generator of connected and IoT device deployment growth during the 2020s. This report collates top line forecasts from multiple SA device research teams, including IoT, intelligent home, computing, smartphones, wearables and automotive, to quantify a comprehensive perspective on the global Internet of Things and connected device deployments.
