The rising adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is expected to drive growth in the digital twins market. IoT devices comprise a network of interconnected gadgets, such as smartphones, sensors, wearables, smart home devices, and security cameras, that communicate and exchange data over the internet without human involvement. The demand for IoT-connected devices is increasing due to the need for real-time data, as they improve efficiency, enable remote monitoring, and facilitate smarter decision-making across different sectors. Digital twins support the adoption of IoT devices by creating virtual replicas of physical assets to monitor, simulate, and optimize their performance in real time. They enhance operational efficiency and decision-making, encouraging wider integration of IoT devices across industries. For instance, in September 2024, IoT Analytics, a Germany-based research firm specializing in IoT market insights, reported that the number of connected IoT devices reached 16.6 billion in 2023, representing a 15% increase from 14.4 billion in 2022. As a result, the increasing adoption of IoT devices is driving the growth of the digital twins market.

Major companies in the digital twins market are concentrating on creating advanced solutions, such as integrated load profile simulation and asset dimensioning, to enhance efficiency, optimize resources, and facilitate predictive maintenance. Integrated load profile simulation and asset dimensioning refers to tools and methods within digital twin systems used to model energy or resource consumption patterns (load profiles) and identify the optimal size, capacity, or configuration of assets. For example, in April 2024, Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, a Germany‑based industrial technology firm, collaborated with Mercedes‑Benz, a Germany-based luxury automotive company, to launch the Digital Energy Twin. This co-developed software solution features a behavioral model of factory energy systems that prevents inefficient planning, significantly lowering the risk of costly design mistakes. It includes integrated load profile simulation and asset dimensioning, allowing seamless optimization of energy consumption for both new and existing factories without extensive manual calculations. The solution also offers scenario analysis and automated recommendations, broadening its applicability and reducing operational costs and carbon emissions for industrial operators.

In February 2025, CoStar Group, Inc., a US‑based provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, and analytics, acquired Matterport Inc. for roughly $1.6 billion in enterprise value through a combined cash and stock deal valued at approximately $2.1 billion.
