This infographic illustrates the growth of the Internet of Things, the money it's driving, and the technology behind it.

1. The Internet of Things Universe
If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things—using data they
gathered without any help from us—we would be able to track and count everything, and
greatly reduce waste, loss and cost. We would know when things needed replacing, repairing or
recalling, and whether they were fresh or past their best. The Internet of Things has the
potential to change the world, just as the Internet did. Maybe even more so.

In 1995, there was 16 million devices connected on the Internet, and
nearly all the data on the Internet was captured and created by typing,
pressing a record button, taking a digital picture or scanning a bar code,
leaving out the most numerous and important routers of all – people.
By 2020, 50 billion devices will be connected, including 3 billion
subscribers buying information to enhance their lifestyles. In mature
markets, each of these customers will have 5-10 things connected. By
2020 a cumulative 100 billion processors will have shipped.

The net profits of IoT from
2013 to 2022 are estimated to
be $14.4 trillion dollars.
Wireless
Communications
will unlock much of
the IoT’s economic
potential by
enabling the data
flow.
2010
2015
In 2013, businesses
realized only 53% of the
IoT profit opportunity.
Wide area
Deployment
will be enabled by
advances in
miniaturization
both in hardware
and software.
Small Wireless
Sensors
capable of
transmitting raw
data, and higher
functions,
will enable IoT.
2020
In 2020, additional
expenditures for IoT
will be twice the US
GDP for 2013.
Intelligent
Packaging
will make IoT
interactive and
easy to use.
