IoT Connectivity Industry Segmentation

The Expert Market Research's report titled “Global IoT Connectivity Market Report and Forecast 2026–2035” provides a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:

Based on component, the market is segmented into

  • Platform
  • Services

Key Insight: The Services component is expected to dominate the global IoT connectivity market, supported by accelerating demand for managed connectivity, eSIM lifecycle orchestration, integration consulting, and platform implementation services. The hyperscaler-led platform layer (Microsoft, AWS, Huawei, Alibaba, Oracle) accounted for roughly 60% of the agnostic IoT platform market in 2024, but enterprises are increasingly outsourcing operations to specialists such as Aeris, Tata Communications, Vodafone IoT, and Telefonica. Services revenue is projected to expand at a CAGR of around 21.4% over 2026-2035 as multinational deployments require ongoing SIM management, monitoring, and security operations far beyond initial platform licensing. 

On the basis of organisation, the market can be divided into

  • Large Enterprises
  • Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Key Insight: Large Enterprises continue to anchor revenue, accounting for the majority of IoT connectivity spend through automotive, manufacturing, energy, and logistics deployments at scale. However, the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises segment is forecast to register the highest growth, with industry analysts citing CAGRs in the 23-27% range during 2026-2035 as cost-effective, plug-and-play kits, cellular LPWA pricing, and pre-integrated AWS/Azure stacks lower the entry bar. SME use cases are concentrated in remote equipment monitoring, energy optimisation, and workflow visibility. 

By application, the IoT connectivity market segmentation includes

  • Smart Retail
  • Smart Manufacturing
  • Connected Health
  • Building and Home Automation
  • Smart Transportation
  • Smart Grid and Utilities
  • Others

Key Insight: Smart Manufacturing leads application demand, propelled by Industry 4.0 modernisation, predictive-maintenance deployments, and the rise of private 5G in factory environments-where private 5G manufacturing revenue is projected to climb from roughly USD 1 Billion in 2025 to USD 8.7 Billion by 2030. Connected Health is the fastest accelerator within applications, with the broader IoT-in-healthcare market forecast to grow above 23% CAGR, supported by chronic-disease prevalence, ageing populations, and home-care monitoring. Smart Transportation, Smart Grid and Utilities, and Building and Home Automation also benefit from 5G slicing and eSIM standardisation. 

The major regional markets for IoT connectivity include

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific
  • Latin America
  • Middle East and Africa

Key Insight: North America retains revenue leadership in IoT connectivity, anchored by deep enterprise IT budgets, mature carrier ecosystems (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile), and aggressive ThingSpace, AT&T-Ericsson Marketplace, and private-5G rollouts. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, projected to log a CAGR meaningfully above the global average over 2026-2035, fuelled by 5G Standalone rollouts in China, Japan, and South Korea, "Made in China 2025," "Digital India," and Japan's "Society 5.0," with cellular M2M/IoT connections in the region projected to reach 1.3 billion by 2030. Europe benefits from a strong telco IoT base (Vodafone, Telefónica, Orange, Deutsche Telekom), while Latin America and the Middle East and Africa are emerging hot-spots tied to smart-city programmes and utility digitisation. 

IoT Connectivity Market Share

By Component, Services dominates the market with the larger share, supported by enterprises increasingly outsourcing connectivity orchestration, security, and lifecycle management to specialists. Platform revenue is concentrated among five hyperscalers-Microsoft, AWS, Huawei, Alibaba, and Oracle-which collectively held about 60% of the agnostic platform market in 2024. Services dominance reflects the operational reality that platform spend is one-time, while services such as eSIM provisioning, monitoring, and SOC operations recur. Aeris-Verizon's February 2026 launch of unified inbound services and Tata-Cisco's eSIM-powered MOVE integration are direct evidence of services becoming the higher-margin growth engine.

By Organisation, Large Enterprises dominate the market with a substantial share of total IoT connectivity revenue. Their lead reflects multi-year, multi-country contracts in automotive (connected cars), industrial manufacturing, oil and gas, and global logistics-segments that demand SLAs, private networks, and integration with enterprise IT. Hyperscaler tie-ups, regulatory complexity, and the cost of certifying global SIMs all favour incumbents. Even so, SMEs are growing fastest, with adoption of cost-effective LPWA, off-the-shelf cellular routers, and managed-connectivity bundles broadening the customer base. Vodafone IoT's hyperscale partnerships and AT&T-Ericsson's IoT Marketplace are designed to bring SMEs into the same platform as Fortune 500 customers.

By Application, Smart Manufacturing dominates application share, reflecting Industry 4.0 capex, automotive manufacturing's appetite for IoT-enabled smart factories (the largest end-user share in 2025), and the maturation of private 5G. Coherent industry data places IoT-in-manufacturing revenue at USD 278.69 Billion in 2025, growing toward USD 909 Billion by 2032 at an 18.4% CAGR. Connected Health is the second pillar by share, supported by remote patient monitoring, wearable-device adoption, and post-pandemic home-care models. an industry research firm's April 2026 update flagged home-care IoT growing at an 18.32% CAGR through 2031, pulling demand for cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity bundles into clinics, pharmacies, and homes.
