The rise of 5G technology is anticipated to drive the growth of the IoT node and gateway market in the upcoming period. 5G offers more stable and faster secure connectivity, with its enhanced bandwidth allowing for greater data transfer within a specified time frame and reduced latency enabling quicker data delivery. These networks provide broader coverage, which accommodates various network topologies, facilitating seamless communication between IoT nodes and gateways. For example, in September 2024, IoT Analytics GmbH, a Germany-based NGO, reported that the number of connected IoT devices reached 16.6 billion by the end of 2023, representing a 15% increase from the previous year. The organization anticipates an additional 13% growth, projecting a total of 18.8 billion connected devices by the end of 2024. Moreover, the number of connected IoT devices is expected to surge to 40 billion by 2030, indicating a significant increase since the last market update in 2023. Thus, the emergence of 5G technology is propelling the growth of the IoT node and gateway market.

Major companies in the IoT node and gateway market are launching low-power modules to cater to customers requiring energy-efficient, long-range solutions for IoT applications. A low-power module is a compact device with energy-efficient components that enable wireless communication and data processing while minimizing power consumption to extend battery life. For instance, in May 2023, Laird Connectivity, a US-based wireless product testing company, launched the RM126x series of LoRaWAN modules, providing low-power, long-range solutions for various challenging RF applications. The RM126x modules operate in both hosted and hostless modes and are certified for use in multiple regions.

In January 2023, Semtech Corporation, a US-based supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, acquired Sierra Wireless for $1. 2 billion. This strategic move aimed to create a comprehensive IoT platform by leveraging the strengths of LoRa and cellular technologies. Sierra Wireless, a Canada-based wireless communications equipment designer, offers the IoT Gateway series catering to diverse industries.
