The global IoT middleware market size is anticipated to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing focus on deploying connected ecosystem and the standardization of 3GPP cellular IoT technologies.
The middleware helps developers to make the application more efficient. It acts as a connecting tissue between user, data, and applications. The middleware is classified into three main categories, namely application-specific, information-exchange and management, and support middleware.
IoT middleware is a software that is an interface between IoT devices to make the communication easier and accessible. The middleware connects different and complex programs that weren’t originally designed to be connected with other components. It is used in home-automation, healthcare, commercial buildings, and public space.
The COVID-19 has affected both customers as well as the market, basically negatively impacting countries across the globe. With the imposition of lockdown, the retail and manufacturing industry was hugely impacted in 2020. However, the relaxation in restrictions is expected to drive the market growth.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rapid industrialization is one of the key drivers of the IoT middleware market.
