Market Overview:
The global machine-to-machine (M2M) connections market size reached US$ 20.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 26.6 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during 2023-2028. The growing development of infrastructure in healthcare facilities, increasing demand for automation and effective predictive maintenance systems, and rising adoption of advanced medical devices for remote patient monitoring represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Machine-to-machine (M2M) connections refer to automated systems which involve machines or devices communicating with each other via a network without the manual assistance of humans. They comprise sensors, radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) or cellular communications link, and autonomic computing software that is programmed to assist a network device in interpreting data and making decisions on its own. They translate data, which is capable of triggering preprogrammed and automated actions. They function by tapping into sensor data and transmitting it to a network and operating over data endpoint (DEP), communication networks, and data integration points (DIP). They help reduce costs by minimizing equipment maintenance and downtime. M2M connections also boost revenue by revealing new business opportunities for servicing products in the field. They improve customer service by proactively monitoring and servicing equipment before it malfunctions or when it is urgently needed. They are utilized in remote monitoring and integrated into warehouse management systems (WMS) and supply chain management (SCM). Furthermore, as M2M connections can send and receive small amounts of data continuously, their demand is increasing around the world.
