IoT has been gaining popularity across the world and it doesn’t seem like 
this is about to change any time soon. From corporate applications to 
personal and household electronics, IoT has been making its way into 
every sphere. Although the popularity of IoT was already gaining 
momentum for a while, the pandemic situation was a big catalyst. It 
forced companies and individuals to adopt IoT, making the technology 
even more indispensable.
IoT trends that you would likely notice this year
With the growth of IoT being strong in 2022, here are the top trends that 
you could expect to see this year:
• 5G to make headway with IoT
As of now, 5G holds its importance mostly as a consumer product, 
enabling faster downloads. However, one might want to remember that 
several key IoT applications require minimal latency and higher 
connectivity speeds too. One could expect 5G to become more IoT ready 
by the end of 2022, with increased commercial uses. Private IoT networks 
built on 5G would ensure quicker data transfer, greater energy efficiency, 
and better coverage.
• More IoT stakeholders will adopt AI/ML
Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are becoming 
popular, and more IoT stakeholders would likely adopt them. For instance, 
natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision technologies are 
becoming increasingly affordable. These would enhance the audio and 
video analytic capabilities of an enterprise. With AI and edge computing 
converging, it looks like IoT is going to undergo major upgrades. When this 
happens there will be an increase in the number of stakeholders adopting 
AI and ML in 2022.
• Increased Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) wearable 
trends
Virtual reality (VR) technology is already popular in the entertainment and 
consumer product segments. However, wearable Augmented reality (AR) 
and VR devices have started playing more important roles now in multiple 
verticals like healthcare, retail and fitness industry to name a few.
• Demand for specialized IoT data management
Data management is one of the key areas in the IoT space. From being 
tedious and fraught with the risks of errors, data management is 
becoming much simpler and quicker now. Businesses are adopting IoT for 
better management and streamlining of data collection. Specialized IoT 
data management tools are being built that would handle bulk amounts 
of data seamlessly and accurately.
• Bundled IoT for the enterprise buyer
With the applications of IoT on the rise, enterprises would be looking for 
more comprehensive solutions. This would lead to a growing demand for 
bundled or off-the-shelf IoT solutions that can cover different business 
requirements at the same time. Affordability, user-friendliness, and 
embedded analytics are features that would likely become common 
among such bundled IoT solutions.
By the end of the year, smart factories in North America would together 
be worth more than $500 billion USD. The future of the IoT sector looks 
quite bright indeed.
