• Consumers and businesses alike are
anticipating the next big innovation. They are
all set to embrace the ground-breaking impact
of the Internet of Things on our lives like ATMs
that report crimes around them, forks that tell
you if you are eating fast, or IP address for
each organ of your body for doctors to
connect and check. [6]
• 2018 and beyond, IoT will see tremendous
growth in all directions; the following 8 trends
are the main developments we predict for
coming years:
IEEE 5G World Forum:  8 trends of iot in 2018 and beyond july 9th 2018 santa clara , ca
Trend 1 —Lack of standardization will continue
• Digitally connected devices are fast becoming
an essential part of our everyday lives.
Although the adoption of IoT will be large, it
will most likely be slow. The primary reason
for this is lack of standardization.
• Unless a well-respected organization like IEEE
stepped-in and leads the way or the
government imposes restrictions on doing
business with companies if they are not using
unified standards [7].
• The hurdles facing IoT standardization can be
divided into 3 categories; Platform,
Connectivity, and Applications:
• Platform: This part includes the form and
design of the products (UI/UX), analytics tools
used to deal with the massive data streaming
from all products in a secure way, and
scalability.
• Connectivity: This phase includes all parts of
the consumer’s day and night routine, from
using wearables, smart cars, smart homes,
and in the big scheme, smart cities. From the
business perspective, we have connectivity
using IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) where
M2M communications dominating the field.
• Applications: In this category, there are three
functions needed to have killer applications:
control “things”, collect “data”, and analyze
“data”. IoT needs killer applications to drive
the business model using a unified platform.
• By 2018 it will at least double and touch a
whopping the mark of 46 Billion by 2021.
More IoT devices will enter the channels,
more than ever before. A clear indication of
our direct dependency over the gadgets and
that’s how our future is shaped.[7]
Trend 2 — More connectivity and more devices
• The benefits of using smart devices in that
capacity include boosting customer
engagement, increasing visibility, and
streamlining communication that will include
new human-machine interfaces such as voice
user interface (VUI) or Chatbot.[1][3]
Trend 3 — “New Hope” for security: IoT &
Blockchain Convergence
• As with most technology, security will be the
major challenge that needs to be addressed.
As the world becomes increasingly high-tech,
devices are easily targeted by cyber-criminals.
Evans Data states that 92% of IoT developers
say that security will continue to be an issue
in the future.
• Consumers not only have to worry about
smartphones, other devices such as baby
monitors, cars with Wi-Fi, wearables and
medical devices can be breached. Security
undoubtedly is a major concern, and
vulnerabilities need to be addressed.
• Blockchain is a “new hope” for IoT Security.
The astounding conquest of Cryptocurrency,
which is built on Blockchain technology, has
put the technology as the flag bearer of
seamless transactions, thereby reducing costs
and doing away with the need to trust a
centered data source.
IEEE 5G World Forum:  8 trends of iot in 2018 and beyond july 9th 2018 santa clara , ca
Trend 4 — IoT investments will continue
• IDC predict that spending on IoT will reach
nearly $1.4 trillion in 2021. This coincides with
companies continuing to invest in IoT
hardware, software, services, and
connectivity. Almost every industry will be
affected by IoT, which means many companies
will benefit from its rapid growth.
• The largest spending category until 2021 will
be hardware especially modules and sensors,
but is expected to be overtaken by the faster
growing services category. Software spending
will be similarly dominated by applications
software including mobile apps.
Trend 5 — Fog Computing will be more visible
• Fog computing allows computing, decision-
making and action-taking to happen via IoT
devices and only pushes relevant data to the
cloud, Cisco coined the term “Fog computing”
and gave a brilliant definition for Fog
Computing: “The fog extends the cloud to be
closer to the things that produce and act on
IoT data”.
• The benefits of using Fog Computing are very
attractive to IoT solution providers, some of
these benefits: minimize latency, conserve
network bandwidth and operate reliably with
quick decisions.
Trend 6 — AI & IoT will work closely
• Merger of IoT data analytics with AI for
applications ranging from elevator
maintenance to smart homes, will progress
rapidly over the coming two years. Platform
and service providers are increasingly
delivering solutions with integrated analytics
designed to feed data directly into AI
algorithms.
• Another important advantage of using AI is
supporting the optimization and adaptation
of both IoT devices and related processes and
infrastructure.
IEEE 5G World Forum:  8 trends of iot in 2018 and beyond july 9th 2018 santa clara , ca
Trend 7 — New IoT-as-a-Service (IoT-a-a-S)
business models
• Transformational business models will develop
in many IoT verticals over 2018-2019,
supported by Big Data and AI tools. In these
models, the value is in the convenience of the
service for end customers (on-demand and
not requiring heavy upfront expenditure), and
the usage data that is collected, analyzed, and
fed back into suppliers’ businesses and
processes.
• But the potential for IoT business model
transformation extends beyond this, to
encompass an increasing variety of more
complex, as-a-service business models that
disrupt existing industries, particularly for
areas such as heavy industry, transport and
logistics, and smart cities.
Trend 8— The need for skills in IoT’s Big Data
Analytics and AI will increase
• Dynamic data sharing is at heart of IoT and Big
Data Analytics will be instrumental in building
responsive applications. Integrating IoT data
channels with AI to retrieve on demand
analytical insights has already gained
momentum this year and will definitely grow
exponentially in 2018.
• Subsequently, the need for Big Data and AI
skills will rise, while most IoT service providers
have highlighted the shortage for such
extensively skilled candidates, internal
learning programs in close proximity with R&D
has set to be launched in many
companies.[2][11][9]
