Global Cellular Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Modules Market to Reach $4.5 Billion by 2026

Cellular Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication technology is a novel M2M communication model that allows wireless transmission of information between devices/machines over mobile networks. Over the years, continuous development of the telecom infrastructure has made cellular M2M connections more reliable, and affordable. Few of the several benefits of cellular M2M driving adoption rates include easy remote or mobile implementations, increased productivity, intelligent distribution of information where needed, real time, uninterrupted communication ability, 24/7 connectivity, and greater signal reliability and expanding bandwidth capacity in line with evolving fiber optic network and mobile network technologies. Technology developments including semiconductor innovation of M2M modules such as extended temperature capability for greater suitability for harsh environment applications; addition of geofencing and GPS capabilities, among others, are also helping fuel adoption rates. Higher data rates and lower monthly plan pricing for M2M applications, and bespoke offerings for various industry verticals, offered by cellular service providers will particularly emerge as the most influential driver of technology adoption and proliferation.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Cellular Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Modules estimated at US$2.9 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$4.5 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 8% over the analysis period. Fleet Management, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to record a 8.3% CAGR and reach US$1.5 Billion by the end of the analysis period. After a thorough analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the Security segment is readjusted to a revised 7.4% CAGR for the next 7-year period. Fleet management integrates GPS with M2M cellular technology to offer efficient services. Fleet management solutions deliver a host of functions, including vehicle management, driver management, mobile workforce management and transport management. Advanced M2M modules can be used in buildings, retail outlets and banks for security purposes such as real-time monitoring, alarm system monitoring, video analytics and video surveillance.
