The alliance also accelerates digital transformation and 5G adoption in Indonesia and ASEAN.

The Asia Pacific internet of things Internet of Things market growth can be attributed to several factors, such as the growing adoption of 5G technology, AR/VR, and other such factors across enterprises.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Adoption of 5G technology to Offer New Growth Opportunities  

5G networks are faster and effectively support the data processing required for IoT networks and devices. The latency will be ten times less than 4G, providing more reliable and hassle-free operations. Hence, the implementation of 5G acts as a catalyst for autonomous and automated devices in the market.

With such 5G-powered features, the demand for 5G-enabled IoT devices is increasing in the Asia Pacific. Also, the region's communication providers, such as Reliance in India, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Taiwan Mobile, are expanding their product portfolios to capitalize on smart devices. Thus, providing opportunities for developing information collection systems and combining advanced analytics capabilities into existing systems. Several regional network providers and vendors are enhancing their services with new advancements.

• In September 2022, Bharati Airtel introduced several advanced products to its cloud portfolio after the launch of 5G services. The new cloud portfolio consists of CDN (Cloud Edge Content Delivery Network) that helps to bring 5G network and edge computing under one single platform for IoT devices to compute and process the data.

Such initiatives and advancements are enhancing growth opportunities in the Internet of Things market.  

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Initiatives for Digital Transformation to Augment the Market Demand

Digital transformation technologies enhance enterprises and organizations to innovate and upgrade their functionalities with digital solutions. Several countries in the Asia Pacific region are developing nations that are taking initiatives toward digital transformation. Hence, various organizations in these regions gravitate toward automation, cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things, network infrastructure, and other high-tech solutions to evolve digitally. Investment in IT modernization and digital transformation (DX) are at the top of the mind of these enterprises. For instance,

• According to the IDC report 2022, more than 95% of enterprises and organizations in India are planning to maximize their spending toward Digital Transformation in 2023. As the pandemic propelled the demand for digital transformation, it helped enterprises to survive the challenges and sustain in the market. 


• In January 2023, Singtel announced the launch of Zoom's communication solutions for the digital transformation of organizations in Singapore. Various new services and solutions will be added to the 5G suite of Singtel and UC (Unified Communications) offerings. All these services will be accessible to organizations with the Zoom Phone Connector of Singtel.  

These advancements toward digital transformation are raising Internet of Things (IoT) market share in the industry.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Increasing Cyberattacks to Impede the Demand for IoT devices in the Region

A considerable number of IoT devices are hacked for misused or by access to different areas of the network. Such devices are particularly susceptible to various kinds of cyberattacks. Thus, consumers are willing to use these devices but do not trust over the security of these devices. According to the World Economic Forum report, data fraud and cyber-attacks are among the world's top five economic threats after the pandemic.

The rise in digital transformation in ASEAN countries has led to the unintentional consequence of cyber-attacks in the region, which generates more opportunities for cybercriminals. Moreover, organizations are increasingly directing their efforts to strengthen regional cybersecurity, but more steps must be taken to address the frequently evolving threats.

Hence, such limitations hinder the market demand in the region.
