The Internet ofThings (IoT)—the interconnected network of things that collectkey data from sensor-enabled devices and other sources—hasmoved beyond hype to become a critical business technology Verizon’s 2025 IoT Market Insight Report offers a compellingperspective on IoT’s business impacts. This comprehensive analysis provides powerful insightinto decision-makers’ strategic priorities, implementation 500+ Discover how these transformative trends arereshaping the IoT landscape and how organizationslike yours can leverage connected technologies to U.S. based companies with more than 100employees, actively implementing or planningcellular IoT solutions were surveyed. Understandingtoday’s IoT landscape:Connectivity,growth and related How many devices are connected in your cellularIoT deployment in 2025 and how many do youexpect in 2026? IoT is scaling to massive size Businesses across all sectors that were surveyed duringthis research are aggressively expanding their IoT initiatives.A majority of surveyed companies have moved beyond theinvestigative and trial phases of their IoT deployments andhave full deployments. This adoption reflects a fundamental of organizationssurveyed are currentlyusing a fully deployedand operational cellular 66% The IoT customer landscape demonstrates remarkable energywith both new deployments and significant scaling of existingimplementations. A striking transformation is underway indeployment size of those surveyed. While in 2025, only 8%of cellular IoT deployments were expected to exceed 10,000devices, survey respondents project this figure will more thantriple to 27% in 2026, signaling the ongoing scaling of IoT More than 50% of organizations surveyed—particularly companies in manufacturingand warehousing—selected efficiency andproductivity gains as the driving forces behind 50% IoT is a smart bet The acceleration of IoT deployments stems directly from its ability to deliver measurable outcomes,positioning it as a mature but evolving technology framework with predictable returns. Surveyresults indicate that more than two-thirds of organizations see clear correlation between their IoTimplementations and return on investment (ROI), reinforcing the connection between IoT budgets LoCI Controls demonstrates how IoT deployments can translate into measurable business benefits. When do you expect to realize the measurablebenefits from an IoT deployment? LoCI Controls: Turninglandfill gas into an estimated$1.8B opportunity. Specializing in landfill methane capture systems, LoCI Controls’WellWatcher®platform uses thousands of Cat-1 IoT deviceslocated across landfills in the U.S. Previously, landfill operatorsrelied on employees driving around with handheld devices totake intermittent, manual gas level readings. Now, with Well-Watcher®delivering near-real-time accurate data, operatorsare empowered to make instant or automated adjustmentsthroughout the day to maximize methane capture and better Learn more Evolving technology:IoT connectivity isadvancing with 5G The journey of IoTconnectivity To what extent do you agreewith the following statements? 5G connectivity is essentialto support our device overthe devices’ lifecycles. The journey of IoT connectivity represents one of technology’smore remarkable transformations—evolving from simplemachine-to-machine (M2M) communications to today’ssophisticated ecosystem of interconnected intelligent devices. 81% of organizationssurveyed in the midstof an IoT deploymentsee value in 5G. 5G is not the only change occurring in the IoT connectivitylandscape. Our survey indicates businesses are alsoembracing advanced capabilities such as embeddedSIM (eSIM) technology, network slicing and even satellite Businesses are all-in on 5G IoT The survey indicates that 5G is a game-changer for IoT busi-nesses. For example, 88% of respondents view 5G connectivityas essential to support their IoT devices’ life cycles. Also, thedata indicates strong confidence in 5G’s potential to deliver 52% of respondents state that theirorganizations intend to use privatewireless networks for their IoTprojects in the next 12 to 24 months. Moving to full-scaleimplementation of IoT The results indicate that the increased confidence and useof 5G is not limited to a single industry. •The survey also indicates that the organizati
