The research shows that the number of total connected devices(1) is expected to increase from approximately 9 one thousand million today to more than 24 billion in 2020, and within that, mobile connected devices(2) will grow 100 per cent from more than 6 billion today to 12 billion in 2020. This explosive growth will support an addressable revenue opportunity for mobile operators of nearly US$1.2 one million million(3) by 2020, a sevenfold increase from expected revenues in 2011, and volition also provide significant growth potential for the entire ecosystem.

“We are entrance the next phase in the development of the mobile industry, one where we will see mobile connect everything in our lives,” said Michael O’Hara, chief marketing officer, GSMA. “In this new Connected Life, mobile will transform society and will have a profound impression on the way we interact not only with each other, but also with our surroundings. However, capitalising on this enormous opportunity requires collaboration across the entire ecosystem to demonstrate how mobile technology in everything from tablet PCs to new healthcare devices can enhance citizenry’s personal and business lives.”

Mobile operators can welfare from this important revenue opportunity by addressing key areas of the economic value chain(4) such as service provision and system integration, as well as collaborating more closely with vertical industry sectors to provide compelling new services to their customers. The sectors that will benefit from this collaboration include the consumer electronics industry, which could generate direct revenues of US$445 billion; the automotive sector, which could generate US$202 billion in revenues; the health sector, which could see growth of US$69 billion; and the utilities sector, which could see an additional US$36 billion in revenue by 2020.

Machina Research has identified a significant addressable market opportunity for mobile operators, although the revenue that can actually be realised will depend on individual business strategies. Mobile operators are uniquely placed to employment in partnership with other industries to enable this opportunity because they provide ubiquitous network connectivity; deliver proven customer care, billing and distribution capabilities; and represent a trusted brand for consumers and businesses.

Jim Morrish, director at Machina Research, commented: “We are moving into a new geological era in connectivity where we will see the proliferation of billions of connected devices in the world. Most of that growth is coming from machine-to-car: a new market for communications service providers, and with new dynamics. The way that mobile operators, device vendors, service providers and others in the value chain react to this opportunity will have important implications for their future success. Right now, the mobile industry has a clear opportunity to play a central role in the Connected Life.”

Matthew Bloxham, director of telecoms research at Deutsche Bank added: “The growth of connected devices has the electric potential to whirl substantial social, ecological and financial benefits to the world saving. The figures announced today highlight the significant revenue opportunity this space could deliver. However the wider economic impact could be far greater, including indirect benefits to industry such as cost reduction, increased efficiency and the potential for new products and services. We are pleased that many mobile operators are already implementing strategies to tap into this market, although a broad industry-wide approach is essential to realising the full opportunity.”

“There is incredible electric potential for wireless innovation across so many verticals, from healthcare to automotive to consumer electronics,” said Glenn Lurie, president of Emerging Devices, AT&T. “All types of customers are quick to realise the benefits of embedded mobile technology in everyday products, and this is going to lead to an explosion of creativity and adoption. We’ve made great progress embedding wireless into navigation, trailing, gaming and amusement devices, but we’ve just scratched the airfoil here. There are so many exciting possibilities.”

Dong-Ik Lee, senior vice president, KT said: “Our customers are excited about connected experiences. Connecting objects to networks can revolutionise their value. For example, helping twist vehicles into infotainment hubs, CCTVs into commercial area analysis units and toys into educational robots. At KT, we rich person started a new trial on an ‘open objects’ platform to help people to participate more freely in the connected worldly concern, and we expect it to accelerate the growth of this connected market.”

“The services and applications provided by key sectors in the M2M space, such as utilities, telematics, mobile health and automotive, depend on highly reliable and secure solutions and connectivity. Mobile operators must work together to make the most of this opportunity, such as signing M2M roaming agreements and securing monetary value structures that enable M2M-type traffic. Mobile operators should also become more integrated in their customers’ businesses and drive further collaboration with vertical sectors in the Connected Life ecosystem, whilst staying competitive to ensure market growth,” says Fredric Liljestrom, SVP, Telenor Connexion.

Erik Brenneis, Head of M2M, Vodafone Group added: “Devices with M2M capabilities are able to give customers a much richer experience than those without. These figures show the enormous potential of M2M services which become even more attractive when delivered wirelessly, such as personal navigation devices which are able to show traffic jams in near real time.”

(1) Connected devices are smart wide area and shortstop range devices that have the benefit of connecting to a network, including: remote control sensors, remote monitoring, actuating devices, associated aggregation devices, PCs, laptops, tablets, eReaders, mobile handsets, femto cells and routers.

(2) Mobile connected devices are either currently or likely to include SIM technology and therefore be connected by wide area mobile networks.

(3) The US$1.2 trillion figure is the addressable revenue that a pure-play mobile network operator (MNO) could potentially compete for a contribution of. This is comprised of revenues from the sale of mobile devices by the MNO, information traffic, applications, system integration, installation, and most significantly, specific service revenues available to MNOs. These revenues are largely incremental to the majority of MNOs’ existing gross streams and therefore present a real opportunity for future revenue growth beyond basic data browsing, messaging and voice revenues. The addressable opportunity for MNOs that have access to fixed infrastructure and systems integration capabilities is clearly going to be greater.

(4) The connected market economic value chain, as defined by Machina Research, includes: Hardware (e.g. mobile modules), data dealings, SIM management and data platforms, APIs / developer kits, solution creation and service provision, distribution and sales and customer service. In the home security market, for example, a typical three-year contract within the value chain will be comprised of 14 percent for the connected alarm, 8 percent in setting and maintaining the data connection and 78 percent on alarm monitoring and client services.

Berg Insight estimates that revenues from paid applications, in-app purchases and subscription services – so called direct revenues – reached Ђ 1.6 billion in 2010. Berg Insight forecasts direct app store revenues to grow at a chemical compound annual growth rate of 40.7 percent to reach Ђ 8.8 billion in 2015. Apple’s iOS is the current leader in direct monetisation of mobile applications and volition keep the number one position during the forecast period. The Android and Windows Phone operating systems are anticipated to be number two and three respectively in 2015.

“Even though the download numbers will increase during the forecast period, most apps are free to download and app monetisation will be a challenge for developers”, said Johan Svanberg, Senior Analyst, Berg Insight. “Free to download monetisation strategies such as in-app advertising and in-app purchasing will be increasingly important. This is especially true in the APAC region, which will account for over 40 percent of all mobile app downloads in 2015.” He adds that for the next coming years, the indigen mobile app is here to stay. New web technologies such as HTML5 are promising and will eventually be relevant alternatives to native apps. It is also important to remember that web apps and native apps are not mutual exclusives and publishers looking for maximizing reach should develop for the web as well as for the major mobile platforms.
