Total Available Market for the Industrial Internet of
Things Global Market Research Study
FIVE-YEAR MARKET ANALYSIS AND TECHNOLOGY FORECAST THROUGH 2019
HOW MANY INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION DEVICES ARE AVAILABLE FOR
CONNECTION TO THE INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS?
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
and its potential to transform production
operations is one of the hottest current topics in manufacturing. Along with Industrie 4.0, IT/OT convergence, and Smart
Manufacturing, the IIoT is cited as the latest means for making manufacturing production more flexible, more cost effective,
and more responsive to changes in market
demand.
Not surprisingly, numerous market forecasts attempt to quantify the potential inherent in the Internet of Things (IoT),
promising that billions of “things” or devices, worth trillions of dollars, will soon
be connected.
This report answers a different but equally
important question: how many industrial
automation devices are and will be available for incorporation into the IIoT? Drawing on ARC’s 30 years of quantifying the
market for industrial control devices, this
research assesses the potential IIoT market
from the realistic perspective of the number of installed and shipped devices that
can potentially connect to the IIoT. This
study specifically focuses on connected
devices used in manufacturing production,
and excludes connected end devices such
as automobiles, jet engines, or televisions.

STRATEGIC ISSUES
Migration toward the IIoT represents the
next step in a connectivity evolution that
has been taking place in manufacturing for
decades. What new challenges will suppliers face as the IIoT takes hold?
• Will the IIoT generate absolute growth
in shipments of automation devices?
• What is the size of the potential retrofit
market vs. new product shipments?
• Which market segments represent the
largest available market?
• Which specific device types within each
segment represent the most potential?
• What single category of automation
products will be the earliest adopter?
