IoT in India is expected to grow from $1.3 billion in 2017 to $9 billion by 2020.
The 6th Annual IoT Innovation Conclave & Exhibition 2017 ended on a high note with 300+ participants being ecstatic about the future of IoT technology in India. Deloitte Predictions 2017 projects that the market for IoT in India is expected to grow from $1.3 billion in 2017 to $9 billion by 2020. The global market on the other hand is expected to touch $300 billion in next 5 years. Relative to the rest of the world software is the brain & India powers it.
According to the industry estimates, by 2020 the highest adoption of IoT in India will be seen in industries such as utilities, manufacturing, automotive & commercial telematics, transportation and logistics. In addition to this, the Government has pledged to invest USD 1 billion for 100 smart cities over the next five years will be a key enabler for IoT adoption. This provides a huge opportunity to IoT players in India but there is a big challenge in terms of offering India-centric solutions and understanding how to fuel the growth of IoT business in this market. This conclave provided a great opportunity to the key stakeholders to come under one roof, showcase the latest tech innovations and deliberate on the way forward.
