Speaking at the IoT Harvest'23 conference, Anton Salov, Head of Internet of Things Strategy at MTS, citing the operator's statistics, estimated the number of Internet of Things devices in Russia at 80 million by the end of the first nine months of 2023. At the same time, he noted that the growth rate has been steadily accelerating throughout 2023: in the first quarter, it was 10%, and by the end of the year, MTS expects to achieve a 15% increase compared to the end of 2022. According to Anton Salov, almost half of the total number of IoT devices use cellular connections.
As Andrey Kolesnikov, kenya whatsapp number database Chairman of the Internet of Things Association, recalled, the average annual growth rate of 15% is slightly lower than the global average, which was 18% for the period from 2022 to 2027, according to IoT Analytics. He admitted that his personal estimate of market growth in 2023 is only 9%.
resented the results of a study on the prospects of the Russian IoT market. He noted that work on it took more than a year, since it was necessary to adapt to changes in various state programs that greatly influenced the market. Karen Kazaryan also noted that any major project can greatly affect the final statistics.
According to the research, IoT is most widely used in Russian industry. Andrey Kolesnikov noted that projects in industry have already been put on stream and have become routine. A large number of devices, as stated by Karen Kazaryan, are also used in smart city and smart home projects, but in monetary terms, their share is significantly smaller. However, according to Nikita Utkin, General Director of ANO Smart Apartment Building, the emergence of cheap solutions has significantly increased the mass of projects: "Previously, it was difficult to imagine a project to implement systems for a smart building in a school on equipment from, say, Honeywell - now there are dozens of them on Russian systems."
IoT is actively used in agriculture, but only in large holdings. In medium and small farms, as Karen Kazaryan noted, there is a desire to use IoT, but it is held back by the overall low level of digitalization in the industry.
Karen Kazaryan named transport, medicine and pharmaceuticals as laggards. According to his assessment, the development of IoT in transport is held back by conflicts between automakers and equipment vendors, on the one hand, and attempts to monopolize this segment, on the other. As Andrey Kolesnikov emphasized, "digital feudalism", when the industry is forced to use a particular protocol or technological platform, will seriously slow down technological development in the IoT sphere and close the market for many promising players. Therefore, the Association of the Internet of Things called on the state to limit itself to the function of ensuring the ability of players to negotiate and supporting open APIs, and when ensuring security, to strive to ensure that the cost of protection does not exceed the value of the asset.
According to Andrey Kolesnikov, the spread of IoT in medicine and pharmaceuticals is held back by the imperfection of the regulatory framework, as a result of which these projects end up in a gray area. According to Nikita Utkin, the lack of knowledge about the specifics of these areas among technical specialists plays an equally important role here, while the formation of the regulatory framework is actively underway and the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Rosstandart are participating in this process.
Nikita Utkin named IoT projects in education as a growth point. According to his assessment, this segment may soon overtake the smart city in terms of volume, which is highly dependent on government funding, which is decreasing.
