Synopsis:

Relentless advances in wireless sensor networks (WSN) have resulted in billions of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices today. More than 1 billion annual WSN chipsets were sold worldwide last year due to breakthroughs such as wireless mesh networking, Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN), multi-protocol devices, IP-addressable end nodes and cloud development/device management platforms.

ON World has covered these developments and their impact on the evolving IoT ecosystem for the past 15 years.

There are two primary market landscapes:

• Short-range WSNs (e.g. 802.15.4, BLE, WiFi and others)
• LPWANs including Sigfox, LoRa, NB-IoT, LTE-M and others

Short-range WSN will continue to have the biggest impact on consumer markets including the smart home, media center, health, fitness and wearables. Compared with consumer IoT, enterprise applications are more diverse with demand for both short range and long range WSN technologies.

Global revenues for WSN drop-in modules and chipsets will approach $10 billion. Enterprise applications will make up 32% of the chipset unit shipments and 55% of the revenues by this time due to higher chipset and module average sale prices (ASPs) compared to consumer applications.

For this research service, we provide an exhaustive investigation of the WSN ecosystem including phone interviews and surveys with component suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, distributors and end users targeting 40+ market segments.

Your customized data includes 6-year market size forecasts by units and revenues with your specific breakdown requirements by market, application, geography and technology such as protocols, frequency, topology, etc.
