What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
IoT technologies make it possible to connect assets of all kinds — everything from industrial machinery to heart monitors, streetlights to cars. These assets are equipped with sensors that monitor their environment, and with a network connection so they can communicate. Businesses can use IoT to gather data about what’s happening in their operations in real-time, supporting decision making.

the Middle East
This is our sixth Internet of Things (IoT) Barometer. Since the last edition, we’ve seen a significant acceleration in global adoption with over a third (34%) of respondents in the Middle East said their companies have already adopted IoT. That’s in line with the findings in this year’s global IoT Barometer 2019, suggesting that the Middle East is on par with the rest of the world. A further 32% of organisations have plans to adopt IoT in the coming two years.
