The Global Internet of Things (IoT) Market is dominated by many large and medium-sized vendors. Big companies, network and internet services providers, and core M2M vendors are following M&A strategies to improve their global presence and increase their customer reach.
Also, the market is witnessing the entry of many new vendors because the concept of the IoT is new. Hence, the market is becoming fragmented with the presence of many vendors.
In addition, organizations are evaluating the vendors based on their technical expertise, total offerings, and the degree of superiority of their product offerings, which has resulted in intense competition.
TechNavio has identified the top 19 companies in the Global IoT Market expected to help fuel market growth at a CAGR of 31.72 percent for the 2014-2019 period.
