IoT Cybersecurity Solutions Revenue will Reach $6B

The dramatic increase in internet-connected devices has created a significant attack surface for hackers and cybercriminals. Applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) are growing. As a result, the related challenges associated with IoT data security and privacy will increase with time.

Whether their motive is simply mischief, theft, or some other goal, the impact of IoT-related criminal activities can be far-reaching and very costly. Vendors of cybersecurity software and services will, therefore, experience growing demand for their offerings.

IoT Security Market Development

According to the latest worldwide market study by Juniper Research, spending on IoT cybersecurity solutions is forecast to reach over $6 billion globally by 2023.

The analyst has highlighted rapid growth, with spending by product and service providers (in consumer markets) and end-customers (in industrial and public services markets) to rise nearly 300 percent over the forecast period.

Juniper also claimed that the growing business risk and increasing minimum standards set by new government regulations would serve as key spending drivers for new IT infrastructure investment.

Juniper believes that there are major differences in the way in which IoT business risk is perceived and perceptions on how regulation should be applied.


Juniper cited the home as an example of where poor long-term device support and little fear of ramifications in case of a breach would serve to keep spending low.

"The interconnected nature of the IoT means that even innocuous devices like the connected refrigerator can become a threat. Vendors see that risk as low, while little has been done from a regulatory perspective to protect consumers," said Steffen Sorrell, senior analyst at Juniper Research.

As a result, Juniper forecasts that smart home IoT security spending would be less than 17 percent of the consumer market in 2023. In contrast, the research identified glaring security issues in the smart energy market.

However, it noted that strict minimum standards, such as those applied by Germany and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), would drive spending impetus, with IoT smart energy security spend reaching $1 billion annually in 2023.

Outlook for IoT Security Application Growth

The research forecasts that the rise of edge computing services to enable near-real-time IoT applications would present additional security challenges, which in turn will drive industry investment in cybersecurity technology. It cited an increased attack surface as raising business risk.

Meanwhile, the need to ensure data reliability would emphasize the need for lifecycle management and IoT device security solutions.

AI Semiconductor Revenue will Reach $119.4B

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will guide Generative AI initiatives within the large enterprise C-Suite. They may already have the technical expertise and experience to understand the capabilities and limitations of Gen AI. They also have the authority and budget to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and talent to support Gen AI initiatives. Enterprise AI infrastructure is proven to be expensive to build, operate and maintain. That's why public cloud service provider solutions are often used for new AI use cases.

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is
