Increasing IoT application in various sectors, as well as the ability of Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) to penetrate deep underground will propel market growth
IoT devices could be installed underground and underwater thanks to the NB-IoT network's ability to reach deep below and in confined spaces. It is the responsibility of telecom service providers to provide network connectivity, including standalone, in-band, and guard-band modes, for the connected IoT devices that are installed as parts of the networks. For instance, the project was led by Vodafone, Idrica, and the Gandia city council, and on December 9, 2021, Gandia became the first smart water city in Spain with NB-IoT technology used to remote metering to communicate water usage statistics. Additionally, connections are now possible in nearly every industry thanks to Internet of Things (IoT) breakthroughs, including consumer electronics, retail, and healthcare. Currently, there are about 15 billion gadgets in use, and by 2025, there will be 75 billion smart devices, an increase of 400%. A lot of data will be produced by these intelligent gadgets, which can be used for real-time data monitoring. Due to these sensors' low price, commercial use of IoT has significantly increased. The market for NB-IoT is also being driven by rising need for a smarter, greener environment, decreased power usage, and smoother communications through increased connection. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.
Advances in mobile IoT network solutions, such as Nb-IoT from mobile operators, provide a scalable, secure, and standardized way to connect smart city assets that provide a wide range of services in a sustainable manner. Because such technology is specifically designed to meet the needs of smart cities, the economics of using such technology is leading to improvements in value chain standardization around networks and components. Parking sensors, for example, are frequently deployed in locations without access to a power supply and are expected to serve their entire life span with the installed battery power while still transmitting the required data by leveraging NB-IoT batteries have the potential to last 10 years because they are typically designed to send a few hundred bytes of data that is handled efficiently, maximizing capacity while minimizing power consumption. Nb-IoT also provides two-way communication, remote access, and large downloads to accommodate firmware updates. For instance, Sensonoes, a smart waste management solution provider based in the UK, announced in July 2019 that it had chosen Twilio, Caa NB-IoT due to its reliability, ease of management, and coverage to manage its smart sensor in North America. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate narrowband-IoT market revenue ly.
The narrowband-IoT market segmentation has been segmented by device type into Tracker, Smart Metering and Wearable. The wearable segment dominated the market growth in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. This is due to an increase in demand for cutting-edge technologies like NB-IoT in the fields of sports and fitness, diagnostics, and healthcare. Younger generations are being encouraged to utilize sports bands due to rising health consciousness and physical fitness levels among people. Additionally, the use of these bands in the healthcare industry, particularly in industrialized nations like Canada, Germany, the US, and others, is a response to the aging population's increasing demand for intense care and ongoing health monitoring.
The narrowband-IoT market segmentation, based on deployment is divided into Stand Alone, Guard Band and In Band. The guard band segment dominated the narrowband-IoT market revenue in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. Guard-band can make use of already-installed radio frequency (RF) modules and antenna for cellular networks without adding any new expenses. In order to build commercial NB-IoT networks, AT&T and Verizon have implemented this technology.
