During second half of 2021, IoT deals accounted for 4% of all deals taking place in the sector. This represents an increase from the figure of 1.1% in second half of 2020.
GlobalData's thematic approach to sector activity seeks to group key company information on investments to see which industries are best placed to deal with any issues they may encounter. These themes, of which IoT is one, are best thought of as "any issue that keeps a CEO awake at night", and by tracking them, it becomes possible to ascertain which companies are leading the way on specific issues and which ones have some work to do.
