How many IoT connected devices are there?
Internet of Things (IoT) are popping up everywhere and revolutionizing our lives in every aspect.
Sending and receiving data between the objects which are interconnected with internet is defined as IoT.
IoT devices are widespread across the globe. 127 new IoT devices are connected to the internet every second.
Wireless networks and super cheap computer chips have turned something as small as a pill to something as big as an aeroplane with help of IoT.
Fantasies like turning the lights on or off, adjusting the thermostat with mobile applications, arming your security system remotely have come true with Iot.
Simply we can say, IoT surrounds us from the moment we get out of bed to the second we go back home. And those include gadgets, machines, buildings, and more that connect to the internet.
Now, we get into some numbers…
IoT Numbers
- IoT numbers are growing rapidly. And 35 billion devices are expected to be installed by the next year end.
Around 31 billion IoT devices will be available by the end of 2020. By 2021, it is expected to rise by 4 billion. This includes all devices like machines, sensors etc.
- IoT devices are expected to reach 125 billion by 2030.
IoT devices will grow rapidly in future. Every customer will own around 15 IoT devices which is a decent jump from average IoT devices currently owned.
- 70% of the Automobiles will be a part of IoT by 2023.
Autonomous vehicles are on its way, more than $100 billion has been invested by automobile industry for research and development over the last five years. Huge amounts of data should be collected and analyzed and these data centers should be capable of directing the resulting digital traffic in order to bring the driverless cars.

- 40% of the IoT devices are used in manufacturing and business.
Most of the people do not have the idea of IoT devices which are used in factories, they always think of the devices they use in home. But, most of the IoT devices are used in factories for more efficiency.
- 48% of the IoT devices market share will be acquired by Google Home by 2022.
There are different kind of smart speakers in the market. Google Home has the highest market with 48%, followed by Amazon Alexa with 37% and Apple HomePod with 12%.

- The Global Helathcare market of IoT is expected around $140 billion by 2024.
IoT has greater influence on Healthcare market. In 2014, Healthcare market size was evaluate at $60 billion. The annual growth rate is around 12.5%.
- By 2025, 600 smart cities will account for 60% of global GDP.
It is expected that smart cities will surpass $2 trillion market value by 2025. Artificial intelligence and IoT both drive the market value.
IoT Security and Privacy
Almost all IoT machines have some security issues. It is a tremendous problem, and no one knows how to deal with it.
Hackers can easily breach a smart device and spy on the owners. They can get into industrial control systems, manipulate production lines, shut down factories, even cause shipwrecks.
There are real-world examples of hackers closing down electrical grids and leave the people without electricity.
A simple hack can turn your child’s smart toy into a spying device. Internet-connected medical devices are often compromised and cause someone’s death.
The number of devices connected to the web goes up, and you’ll expect more and more machinery to be online.
As the stakes get higher, the pressure to solve this problem will rise as well.
