NEW YORK, 8th Jan. According to a new report by Counterpoint Research on Sunday the Global cellular IoT module shipments declined by 2% (year-on-year) in Q3 2023,.
The 5G market’s share in the global cellular IoT module market crossed 5 per cent, indicated traction for 5G adoption, the report said.
The report by Counterpoint Research stated “However, 5G applications are currently limited due to the lack of killer use cases and higher prices. We are only witnessing early adoption in the router/CPE, PC and automotive markets.”
The top five applications – smart meter, automotive, POS, router/CPE and telematics accounted for over 60 per cent of total cellular IoT module shipments.
Associate Director Mohit Agrawal said “Notably, only the smart meter and router/CPE segments observed positive growth in shipments, with other applications experiencing a decline,”.
India stands out as the only region to register positive growth in the global cellular IoT module marke, he said.
“Conversely, the market outside of China and India saw a steeper decline compared to China. Contrary to industry expectations, the market is not gaining momentum,” Agrawal added.
The full-year shipments for 2023 are expected to decline by 5 per cent, against the backdrop of muted demand, he said.
The report said that Quectel, the market leader, and Telit Cinterion, one of the leading international vendors, experienced a decline in shipments.
