25 Billion Connected Things Will Be in Use by 2021: Gartner

Mumbai: The number of connected things in use will go up to 25 billion by 2021, from 14.2 billion in 2019, according to a Gartner forecast on Friday. As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the need for a governance framework that ensures appropriate behaviour in the creation, storage, use and deletion of information related to IoT projects will become increasingly important, Gartner said in its report titled “Top Strategic IoT Trends and Technologies Through 2023.” “The IoT will continue to deliver new opportunities for digital business innovation for the next decade, many of which will be enabled by new or improved technologies,” said Nick Jones, Research Vice President at Gartner. “CIOs who master innovative IoT trends have the opportunity to lead digital innovation in their business,” Jones added.
