$30 billion in 2030

Network operators will generate more than $30 billion from cellular IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity globally in 2030.

This is significant growth—a 74% rise from $18 billion in 2025, according to Juniper Research.

But to capitalize on this growth, network operators will need to do a few things:

  • Innovate how they monetize IoT connectivity
  • Consider network APIs (application programming interfaces)
  • Shift from monthly subscription charges to usage-based monetization

What are your thoughts? Do we need to shift monetization models once again? Is this much growth really possible?
