M2M Now launches Black Book 2015 with five unique analyst reports

WELCOME TO THE M2M NOW BLACK BOOK 2015

In 2014, M2M Now took a new approach to how we cover the M2M and IoT market. In every issue we focused on a specific sector that is seeing rapid adoption of machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies and services, and we commissioned analyst firms to write a series of tailor-made reports on each.

We began the year by publishing the first of our M2M Now Insight Reports on the Automotive sector. The report was authored by Greg Basich, the senior analyst at Strategy Analytics Automotive Multimedia and Communications Service. The Insight threw up some fascinating projections about how this particularly mobile industry is developing with connected vehicles and M2M technology increasingly embedded in the vehicles we use.

Next, we turned to the adjacent market of Fleet Management & Asset Control in a report written by Johan Fagerberg, the chief executive and senior analyst of Berg Insight. Fagerberg highlighted that the firm’s short-term outlook for the global fleet management industry is positive even though the slow recovery in the economies in some regions is holding back the full market potential temporarily. There is still a long way to go before the technology becomes adopted by all potential beneficiaries.

Then, we moved on to explore the Smart Utilities market in a report authored by Dr Therese Cory, the senior analyst at Beecham Research. She revealed that there are concerns in Europe about older power stations operating at today’s levels not being able to meet the demands for energy by 2020. According to Smart Energy GB, the cost of home energy in the UK has risen seven times faster than household income in the last ten years, she reported.

Finally, we examined the mHealth market in a report written by Andy Castonguay, the principal analyst at Machina Research. Castonguay identified mHealth as one of the industries that has the greatest potential for M2M and IoT solutions but warned it also presents one of the greatest challenges to providers.

Black Book 2014 M2M aw_Layout 1This, our first M2M Now Black Book presents these fascinating reports all in one place. In addition, we introduce the Black Book with a specially commissioned report from Matt Hatton, the founder and chief executive of Machina Research. This exclusive report assesses the potential development of M2M in 2015 and beyond. Hatton segments the M2M landscape and predicts that the total number of M2M connected devices will grow from 3.6 billion in 2013 to 26.1 billion in 2023.

In addition to these reports, we also include an extensive interview with senior M2M executives from Telefónica UK, a feature exploring how women are taking a lead in M2M and we present our Hot List of contract wins for 2014.

We hope you enjoy reading the M2M Now Black Book and feel, as we do, that it sets the scene for another exciting year of M2M market development. M2M Now is certainly excited to continue to improve our coverage as the market accelerates.

Enjoy the Black Book.
