"Now in its fifth year, the 2025 edition of the State of IoT report from the global IoT firm surveyed 1,200 senior IoT decision-makers and implementers of IoT strategy who had undertaken at least one IoT project in the past 12 months, with IoT devices deployed across at least three countries and connecting through cellular networks. The data was collected between 28 May and 3 June 2025."
"The research stressed that among the key elements of strategic IoT were device reliability, global connectivity, security and, now more than ever, sustainability. Yet it also warned that unreliable data streams were putting corporate AI strategies at risk, with findings showing only 2% of firms had achieved the high levels of connectivity required. In addition, poor connectivity from IoT devices was seen to be hindering the adoption of AI in a third of businesses (34%)."
"It also warned that such unreliability has direct operational consequences. More than a third of businesses cited an "inability to gather timely and accurate data due to device downtime, leading to poor business decisions" (36%) and damage to their company's reputation (36%) as key risks they were facing face. A similar number pointed to a "loss of operational efficiency and increased costs due to unreliable connections" (35%)."
A survey of 1,200 senior IoT decision-makers across global deployments identifies device reliability, global connectivity, security and sustainability as strategic priorities. Only 2% of firms have achieved the high connectivity levels required for advanced AI integration. Poor IoT connectivity hinders AI adoption in 34% of businesses and causes operational consequences including inability to gather timely, accurate data due to device downtime (36%), reputational damage (36%), and loss of operational efficiency with increased costs (35%). Seventy-four percent of leaders state that achieving near‑100% global connectivity is crucial to their business case. Data collection occurred 28 May–3 June 2025.
