Industrial IoT Market to be Worth $408.2 Billion by 2031

Meticulous Research^®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘Industrial IoT Market – Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecasts (2024-2031).’ According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research^®, the industrial IoT market is expected to reach $408.2 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 19.3% from 2024 to 2031.

The growth of this market is driven by rising investments in Industry 4.0 technologies, increasing government initiatives to promote industrial automation, and the growing need to improve productivity and efficiency in manufacturing processes. However, the lack of standardization and the high capital and operating expenses requirements restrain the growth of the industrial IoT market.

The increasing adoption of Industrial IoT for predictive maintenance and the rise in the number of data centers are expected to create growth opportunities for market players. However, the vulnerability of IoT devices to cyberattacks poses a major challenge to market growth. Additionally, the rising popularity of digital twins, the emergence of edge computing, and the rising adoption of smart manufacturing-as-a-service are some of the major trends in this market.

Key Players:

Some of the key players operating in the industrial IoT market are ABB Ltd. (Switzerland), General Electric Company (U.S.), Emerson Electric Co. (U.S.), Intel Corporation (U.S.), Cisco Systems, Inc. (U.S.), SAP SE (Germany), IBM Corporation (U.S.), Honeywell International Inc. (U.S.), Amazon Web Services, Inc. (U.S.), Siemens AG (Germany), Huawei Technologies Co, Ltd. (China), Rockwell Automation, Inc. (U.S.), PTC, Inc. (U.S.), Dassault Systèmes (France), Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), KUKA AG (Germany), Microsoft Corporation (U.S.), Schneider Electric SE (France), Advantech Co., Ltd. (Taiwan), and C3.ai, Inc. (U.S.)

Industrial IoT Market Growing So Rapidly:

A combination of deep investments in Industry 4.0 technologies and targeted government support is accelerating growth across the industrial IoT landscape. Both public and private sectors are pouring billions into digitizing factories, deploying automated robotics, and integrating advanced real-time analytics. These efforts are, at their core, a response to mounting pressure for improved productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness in global markets. Five-year plans in regions like Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America illustrate a widespread commitment to digital transformation, as countries introduce tax incentives, grants, and business-friendly regulations designed to foster innovation and industrial automation.

There’s also a palpable drive for operational excellence. Industries are reaping the benefits of IIoT’s predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and energy optimization capabilities. For example, predictive analytics embedded in IoT systems can cut maintenance costs by up to 20%, reducing downtime and preserving valuable resources. Forward-thinking companies are increasingly combining digital twins with IoT processes, generating highly accurate models and simulations that unlock process improvement and reveal hidden inefficiencies. Over 60% of organizations implementing IoT initiatives are planning to deploy digital twin technologies for smarter, safer operations.

Industrial Sectors Will Benefit Most from IoT Automation:

The influence of IIoT is broad, but manufacturing stands out as the primary beneficiary. In 2024, manufacturing is set to hold the largest market share, at 24.5%, reflecting its deep commitment to automation, robotics, and centralized process monitoring. IIoT in manufacturing enables improved product quality, enhanced equipment reliability, and faster production cycles. The proliferation of smart factories, autonomous robots, and advanced analytics places this sector at the heart of industrial transformation.

Energy and utilities are rapidly integrating IIoT for smarter grids, remote asset monitoring, and real-time consumption tracking, which brings greater sustainability and operational efficiency. Agriculture is also emerging as a key segment, as IoT-enabled sensors, climate monitors, and livestock trackers help optimize yields, reduce waste, and strengthen supply chains. Other sectors—such as transportation, logistics, oil and gas, aerospace, and retail—are quickly deploying IIoT solutions for asset management, predictive maintenance, and improved customer service.

Asia-Pacific stands as the new epicenter of IIoT growth. With a projected market share of 38.2% in 2024 and the highest CAGR of 19.8%, the region benefits from strong governmental initiatives, widespread adoption of cloud-based solutions, and robust private investment. Countries like China, India, and Japan are at the forefront of deploying disruptive technologies, further boosting regional demand for IIoT-enabled services.

Infrastructure Challenges Affect Expansion in Developing Regions:

Infrastructure remains the most pressing challenge to IIoT adoption, especially in developing countries. Connectivity is paramount for industrial IoT, yet many regions face fragmented networks, unreliable power supplies, and legacy equipment that weren’t designed for high-speed automation. These disparities can slow down the rollout of advanced IIoT systems and increase implementation costs.

Cybersecurity is an equally daunting concern. As industries connect more devices to the internet, vulnerabilities increase. Many IIoT systems lack robust security protocols, exposing them to data breaches, eavesdropping, and unauthorized access. The stakes are especially high when IIoT platforms link directly to enterprise resource planning systems, which may contain sensitive business secrets. For organizations in developing markets, prioritizing strong cybersecurity measures is essential to avoid significant operational risks.

Skill shortages also pose challenges for IIoT implementation. Specialized expertise is required to deploy, manage, and maintain these advanced systems, yet many developing regions struggle to train enough professionals to keep pace with technological demands. Gaps in standardization add further complexity, making device integration and interoperability difficult.
