The standardization of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) has created a surge in the demand of machine-to-machine (M2M) connections market. The machine-to-machine (M2M) connections market is expected to surpass US$29,118.4 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.5%. Industry leaders are largely investing owing to the tremendous number of opportunities being unveiled. The wide-range of M2M connection comprises various innovative applications from telematics to telemetric. Attributes including remote reading of electric meters and smart/intelligent remote control for machine parts are bringing operational efficiency and incremental revenues. The rollout of 3G and LTE/4G networks have bestowed devices with incessant connectivity and amplified bandwidth. This has worked in favor of M2M connection for applications namely multimedia content delivery, inventory tracker, remote video surveillance, remote information display, and health meters. Hefty investments are being made in the direction of mobile packet gateways (Packet Data Serving Node and Gateway GPRS Support Node), which is a mandatory support system for M2M communications. Additionally, organizations offering business support systems are actively seizing the opportunity related to M2M connection and its innovative applications.

During the next six years, the demand for machine-to-machine connection will witness higher growth from developing markets with the rising development and deployment of 3G and LTE/4G networks. The Chinese Government’s decision to develop China as a nation of smart cities, has laid down the foundation for further expansion and accelerated development of machine-to-machine connection.
