Provider Opportunities in Consumer IoT

ABI Research UnTelco for Consumer IoT: Telco Opportunities and Market Activities report suggests that there are significant opportunities to be had by Mobile Services Providers (MSPs) in consumer IoT. ABI forecasts that the MSPs consumer IoT market will be worth $6.6 billion by 2023.

Consumer IoT is a fragmented market where connectivity plays an essential role. MSPs can capitalize on driving growth. By leveraging consumer IoT and smart home offerings and developing a strategy that support connectivity within and outside of the home, MSPs can shape their opportunities in order to become preferred digital and technology suppliers.
