Emerging IoT
Technologies 2022
The purpose of this document is for our readers to broaden their knowledge of the key technologies that will drive IoT forward in the next decade and to
get a high-level overview of these technologies. For ease of understanding, the technologies have been categorized as IoT hardware, IoT software
(middleware, analytics, storage, and platforms), and IoT connectivity.
All discussed insights are centered around IoT-related topics but, in many instances, expand beyond just IoT. The report includes a discussion of selected
current market developments, including market environment and forecasts, vendors, and a prediction on where these technologies will grow moving
forward. The document consists of four parts:
1. Emerging Technologies Radar (Framework and criteria to classify selected technologies and overall view on classifications—6 pages)
2. Software Technologies (Deep dive into selected software technologies and one-pagers on the most interesting technologies—21 pages)
3. Hardware Technologies (Deep dive into selected hardware technologies and one-pagers on the most interesting technologies—29 pages)
4. Connectivity Technologies (Deep dive into selected connectivity technologies and one-pagers on the most interesting technologies—15 pages)
This report is available to IoT Analytics research subscribers only. Please refer to the previous “Emerging Technologies 2019” report for further context.
