Enterprise in Focus Survey Dashboard: State of the IoT Market
Following on from our in-depth analysis, Enterprises speak: IoT gets real, this interactive dashboard presents the granular data from our latest Enterprise in Focus Survey, spanning 18 countries and over 2,800 enterprises across a range of verticals.
The data shows the impact of Covid-19 on enterprise IoT adoption and plans. For example, the percentage of respondents in the healthcare sector that claim to have deployed IoT and have plans to deploy further devices has grown by 10 percentage points compared to 2019. Sectors such as automotive, manufacturing and utilities also witnessed increased levels of IoT deployment, while others have experienced declines, with transportation and warehousing declining by 5 percentage points. Across the board, however, the percentage of enterprises with initial IoT deployments under way or at proof-of-concept stage increased by 10 percentage points during 2020 - a clear signal that digital transformation is becoming an imperative across different industry sectors.
In addition to tracking IoT adoption, the dashboard outlines the challenges enterprises face when deploying IoT, their desired success measures and views on the impact of IoT to their businesses.

Industry Checkpoint: IoT, Q1 2026
This edition of the Industry Checkpoint series focuses on IoT, highlighting how the market has changed in the last six months and its implications. The report considers four major developments: the ramping up of commercial services based on SGP.32; LoRaWAN IoT integrating with the cellular and satellite ecosystems; momentum building for commercial offerings integrating NTN and cellular IoT; and eRedCap being positioned as a cost-efficient path to 5G for the next generation of IoT devices.
The State of 5G 2026
This report analyses the state of 5G, seven years after its commercial launch, using GSMA Intelligence’s 5G Connectivity Index to benchmark 46 markets across 5G infrastructure and services. It shows broad convergence across the foundation components (coverage, affordability, adoption), but reveals a widening gap on advanced capabilities, including 5G standalone (SA), 5G‑Advanced, uplink performance, fixed wireless access (FWA), IoT and RedCap.
From connectivity provider to growth partner
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are digitising rapidly, but telcos seize only a fraction of the opportunity due to gaps between SME expectations and current offerings. To unlock growth, telcos must simplify integration, make reliability visible, and shift from offering security tools to managed protection, delivering integrated, outcome-oriented solutions.
