Shaping the IoT future
across all market sectorsThe World of IoT Sector Map is Beecham Research’s definitive visual framework for understanding how connected technologies create value across the global IoT ecosystem. First launched in 2008 and continually updated, the map identifies the nine major IoT business sectors, their application groups, and more than 100 categories of connected devices. It is designed for strategists, product leaders and market planners who need a clear view of where IoT adoption is accelerating and where new opportunities are emerging. Download the latest edition to inform market segmentation, validate go-to-market plans and strengthen your IoT strategy.
SGP.32 is reshaping IoT connectivity – how devices are provisioned, localised and governed at global scale. This independent Beecham Research guide strips away technical noise and focuses on the outcomes that matter, so you can make confident, goal-aligned decisions.
Discover stakeholder-specific benefits for OEMs/ODMs, integrators, service providers and connected enterprises, plus high-value use cases in healthcare, video security, EV charging, EV telematics and field operations.
Use the decision checklist and RFI questions to choose your eSIM strategy with confidence – optimising cost, uptime and full lifecycle control.
In today’s urban landscape, smart cities are defined by integration – not standalone pilots.
City leaders, solution providers and systems integrators must connect services, align data and deliver measurable outcomes; without a clear integration strategy, projects stall, costs rise and adoption lags.
This analyst-led report from Beecham Research shows what’s working now – with data-backed forecasts, insights from 24 experts and real deployments, to help you prioritise where to invest next.
Join Beecham Research for an exclusive analyst briefing featuring an expert interview with Rony Cohen, Co-Founder of floLIVE.
This session explores the key challenges of expanding cellular connectivity for global IoT deployment, including roaming constraints, data sovereignty and regulatory barriers.
