Global Narrowband IoT Market: Snapshot

Narrowband IoT offers advantages such as reduced cost and reduced power consumption for an increased coverage area which is primarily boosting the adoption of emerging narrowband IoT technology. Being a newly released cellular narrowband offering from 3rd Generation Partnership Project, Narrowband IoT makes municipal applications such as street lighting, utility metering, toll road charges, and smart parking more efficient and effective.

Narrowband IoT can be deployed across several frequency bands using a bandwidth of 200 kHz to provide better indoor coverage as compared to GSM. Some other advantages of narrowband IoT include battery life of more than 10 years, high level of security, and compatibility with existing cellular infrastructure and low cost device.

As per estimates of a report by Transparency Market Research, the global narrowband IoT market will be valued at US52.69 mn by the end of 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 33.12% between 2017 and 2025.
