Staying competitive and keeping up with technology is important for operational efficiency and sustainability. Here’s a recap of IoT-related technologies to remind you of what you need to know as you move into 2025.

  1. 4G continues to be the most popular and cost-effective cellular standard: ABI Research reported that 4G is the primary technology for 60% of today’s cellular IoT module models.
  2. The building automation systems market experienced unprecedented growth: According to Fortune Business Insights, the market is expected to grow to more than $130 billion by 2030.
  3. MQTT has overtaken HTTP as the most used protocol for IoT devices: MQTT is a small-format communication protocol that’s used by all the major IoT platforms, including IBM, Amazon, and Microsoft.
  4. Cybersecurity remains a critical concern for manufacturing: IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index found that 28% of all cyberattacks are manufacturing related.
  5. Commercial buildings have the potential to dramatically impact global energy consumption: The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) reported that commercial buildings account for 70% of total electricity use, which is about 40% of total U.S. energy consumption and 30% of operational greenhouse gasses (GHGs).
