Global Emerging Technology Trends Survey 2018: Focus on the Internet of Things - Thematic Research

Summary

This survey was designed to help understand current attitudes of business leaders towards the Internet of Things (IoT) compared to other emerging technologies, and evaluate how these attitudes are likely to evolve over the next three years. The results also give a view of actual adoption levels of IoT compared to other prominent emerging technologies in organizations across industries and geographies, as well as reasons for that adoption.

IoT is entering the second phase of its evolution. To date, much of the real value of IoT has been derived from industrial applications. The next phase will see the emergence of consumer IoT (including smart home and ambient commerce) as an engine for growth.
