The long and winding road to IoT success: lessons from GE and Samsung
2018 was a year of change in the IoT platform space with new market entrants, M&A and pragmatic – if unorthodox – partnerships formed. GSMA Intelligence forecasts global IoT revenue to reach $1.1 trillion by 2025, primarily driven by the applications, platforms and services segment. This is, however, a highly competitive part of the value chain. In December 2018, announcements from GE and Samsung took the industry by surprise. GE spun off its IoT software platform (Predix) as a standalone company. Samsung closed its ARTIK platform after four years of operation. The moves reflect a previously overlooked challenge: scale alone is not a precursor to success. IoT is as much about customer education as it is technology. Companies across the spectrum of vendors are intensifying their customer development efforts.

Network API demand index: a vertical-sector view
Monetisation is the key objective in 2026 for telcos on APIs (as with other business lines) and their distribution partners, with the implications for go-to-market strategies being different depending on the API and buyer. It is important to quantify the commercial potential and buying likelihood of APIs across different sectors of the economy to accurately orient supply. To that end, GSMA Intelligence has developed the Open Gateway Demand Index, which aggregates a range of metrics to help understand where demand lies and the commercial opportunity for network APIs in each sector.
