What is the Internet of Things and why do your home security systems, cars, and washing machines need to be connected to the internet? We give you 80 reasons why…
The Number of IoT Devices: Past, Present, and Future
1. There were 15.41 billion IoT connected devices in 2015.
Back in 2015, the number of Internet of Things connected devices was 15.41 billion. But Internet of Things statistics show that IoT devices started taking over the world even earlier than this; the first time that the number of IoT devices exceeded the number of people on Earth was in 2008.
2. There are 26.66 billion IoT devices in 2019.
The number of IoT devices keeps growing. Currently, there are 26.66 billion of these devices. The number keeps growing by the hour, so the question How many IoT devices are there? can’t be answered with great accuracy.
3. The number of IoT devices is expected to surpass 75 billion by 2025.
In just six short years from now, the number of IoT devices is expected to nearly triple and reach 75.4 billion by the year 2025. These numbers belong to the more humble group of expectations; a few years ago, Intel predicted that, by 2020, the number of IoT devices would reach 200 billion. So how many connected devices will there be in 2020? The answer is around 30.7 billion.
4. 127 new devices are connected to the internet every second.
Some people might have difficulties understanding just how many devices are interconnected using the internet. The information that 127 new devices join the IoT party every second should help with that.
5. The number of IoT devices was projected to exceed the number of mobile devices in 2018.
Early predictions showed that IoT devices should have surpassed mobile device numbers by 2018. However, they were able to do so even earlier; Internet of Things statistics show that these devices outnumbered mobile devices 3:1 in 2015.
