Practically, almost a smart object per inhabitant: smart meters, connected cars and smart buildings are the sector\u2019s most involved in IoT development. As agriculture and industry 4.0 applications grow and smart cities are becoming more concrete, the Internet of Things Observatory tells us about the Italian digital transformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Covid emergency stopped the growth of the Internet of Things<\/strong>, which in recent years had been very rapid (+ 24% in 2019, + 35% in 2018), but the Italian market is holding up the brunt of the pandemic, marking a slight decrease of 3%<\/strong>, in line with the trend recorded in the main Western countries, reaching a value of 6 billion euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Spending is divided equally between applications that exploit “traditional” cellular connectivity (3 billion, -6%) and those that use other communication technologies, with another 3 billion, stable compared to 2019. Overall, in Italy there are 93 million active IoT connections, of which 34 million cellular connections (+ 10%) and 59 million enabled by other technologies (+ 15%). Among these, the Low Power Wide Area (LPWA)<\/strong> networks emerge, reaching one million connections for the first time, growing by 100%. A strong push also comes from the component of services connected to connected objects, with a value of 2.4 billion euros and a + 4% that “goes back” to the general trend of the market.<\/p>\n
