Quadrant Knowledge Solutions’ Market Insights research on “Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and Divestitures Reshaping IoT Ecosystem” provides detailed insights into the technology vendors and users about the M&A across the entire IoT ecosystem comprising IoT Devices, IoT Connectivity, IoT Platforms, and Associated Industrial/Infrastructure Software. Also, the last quarter of 2022 saw some major companies making announcements regarding the divestiture of their IoT businesses.
The major consolidation brought about by the M&A would form a solid foundation enabling the build-up of more data-rich and value-added acquisitions around analytics, Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), Machine Learning (ML), Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR), Digital Twins, IoT security, and Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity.
According to Narayan Gokhale, Associate Research Director at Quadrant Knowledge Solutions, “The IoT vendors need to realign their strategies in tune with the new landscape reshaped by the M&A and divestitures, aggressively capture the grey spaces that have emerged due to these market shifts, mainstream the arrival of 5G technology, leverage migration capabilities, introduce open-source solutions, and synergize offerings with the two dominant platforms, AWS and Azure.”
