With the emergence of generative AI (GenAI), embedded SIM (eSIM), and satellite networks, the Internet of Things (IoT) space is undergoing a profound transformation. In response to these emerging trends, this analysis provides an overview of the traditional cellular IoT, massive cellular IoT, and non-licensed low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) landscapes.

Traditional cellular IoT connections are expected to grow from 2.77 billion in 2024 to 4.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%, fueled by massive growth in IoT connections in China and investments in automotive, manufacturing, and banking and financial services that require 4G and 5G.
