According to Thematic Research at GlobalData Associate Project Manager Jasaswini Biswal said the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the crucial role the IoT has come to play in everyone’ss lives.
“Several IoT use cases saw growing adoption during the pandemic, including using connected thermal cameras to detect potential Covid-19 infections and sensors for monitoring office occupancy levels,” said Jasaswini Biswal,
The new digital transformation wave which has been accelerated by COVID-19 will fuel higher growth across all IoT markets. “The demand for technologies that can help the workforce get safely back to work is rising and will likely continue to grow. IoT applications such as contact tracing devices and health-monitoring wearables provide critical data to help fight the pandemic,” Jasaswini Biswal added.
