Global IoT asset tracking market to reach $9.2b by 2029

The global IoT-based asset tracking and monitoring market is expected to grow from USD 5.0 billion in 2024 to USD 9.2 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2024 to 2029, according to Research and Markets.

Outdoor segment is projected to grow at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period
In railways outdoor monitoring includes derailers, mileposts, signals, and rail tracks. In aviation, tracking aircraft in real-time, for instance, GPS enabled trackers provide location, movement, and performance data for efficient scheduling, optimized flight paths, and improved fuel efficiency.

Manufacturing includes outdoor storage areas, vehicle and mobile equipment used for transporting materials across remote locations. Further, cold chain monitoring includes tracking refrigerated trucks, containers, tracking vaccine coolers, and medical kits comes under the outdoor monitoring of assets in IoT-based asset tracking and monitoring market.

NB-IoT segment is projected to grow at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period
NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is based on LPWAN developed for a wide range of IoT solutions. IoT applications requiring frequent communications will be better served by NB-IoT, which has no duty cycle limitations operating on the licensed spectrum.

NB-IoT is being deployed frequently in logistics for capturing the location of goods and delivery information in real time, temperature monitoring in cold-chain, near real-time location and information of high-value medical equipment with shock and temper alerts, livestock monitoring, and container monitoring, among others. For instance, NB-IoT technology offers several benefits for healthcare applications. It includes remote patient monitoring through medical devices such as heart and blood pressure monitors and tracking of medical equipment in hospitals.

Aviation application is expected to hold significant market share during the forecast period
For effective management of airport transportation, asset tracking and monitoring are critical in the industry. The aviation industry uses crucial and cost-intensive assets such as ground support equipment, unit load devices, spare parts, and inventories. Besides, hundreds and thousands of assets in operation need tracking and monitoring for effective operations.

Airports can find and track all essential assets that keep airport operations running smoothly owing to the usage of real-time tracking technology like real-time location systems (RTLSx). Airports are extremely busy places with thousands of passengers and staff. There are million passengers passed through the several Airports. Thus, airports rely significantly on their assets because of the enormous number of visitors they receive each year.

The market in Europe is expected to grow at a impressive CAGR during the forecast period
Europe has a solid base in manufacturing, designing, and researching advanced technologies used in the semiconductor industry. Key production centers in the EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) include Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

The UK is one of the key economies in Europe. Digital transformation, technological advancements, and industrial automation initiatives are expected to drive the market’s growth in the country. At present several smart factories across the UK have planned to deploy 4G IoT-based asset management modules to improve device connectivity across floors. These technologies will help reduce power consumption, enable broader connectivity, and offer a long battery life for devices. Research and Markets
