Global M2M Competitive Landscape of Telecom Operators and Vendors 2013

Description

Overview
The wireless M2M market has become a key focus area for leading mobile network operators as their traditional voice market is becoming saturated and the operators are shifting the focus towards new services using cellular connectivity and data services to drive revenues. Though, the ARPU from the M2M services offerings is relatively on the lower side at present, however the same is like to increase on gaining more acceptance from the enterprises. Currently, most of the M2M companies focus on the enterprise segment, though the retails customers would also be benefited once these companies start shifting their focus towards them. For instance, the Government and regulatory initiatives such as the EU initiatives to have a smart meter penetration level of 80% by 2020 and the mandatory inclusion of automotive safety systems such as eCall in all new car models, have also helped to drive overall wireless M2M connections and revenue.
Eyeing this lucrative opportunity, vendors and service providers across the highly fragmented M2M value chain have become increasing innovative in their strategies and technology offerings which have given rise to a number of submarkets such as M2M Network Security, Connected Device Platforms (CDP) and M2M Application Platforms.
The report highlights the various applications of M2M in the various industry verticals, the
Approach and methodology adopted by the leading telecom operators and technology vendors, to leverage the existing and potential M2M opportunities.

Key Findings
 The cellular M2M connections is expected to witness a CAGR of 27.2 % between 2011-2016 to reach 359.3 million, with Asia-Pacific region expected to register the highest growth rate owing to increased adoption, as M2M service penetration is currently very low.
 Most of the wireless operators do currently focus on the B2B segment and still consider M2M to be in the niche stage and hence maintain limited geographic and vertical focus.
 Most of the operators have a distinct business approach, dedicated M2M focus, partnerships with vendors to mutually leverage the capabilities for the M2M opportunity.
 Transport, Utilities, Healthcare, Automotives are the key verticals which the leading operators are currently focussing upon.

Target Audience
 Telecom Service Providers
 Content and Application Aggregation
 Technology Vendors
 Equipment Manufacturers
