Analysis on the Characteristics of Global Development of Related Industries in 2012

At present, the global Internet of Things is still in the conceptual, argumentative and experimental stage. It is at the initial stage of conquering key technologies, formulating standards and regulations, and applying research, but it already has a good foundation. In the next few years, the global Internet of Things market will experience rapid growth. According to the relevant analysis, the global market size will reach 70 billion U.S. dollars in 2007 and reach 78 billion U.S. dollars in 2008. By 2012, the global market scale will exceed 170 billion U.S. dollars in 2015. Nearly US$350 billion, the annual growth rate is close to 25%, and the Internet of Things will achieve large-scale popularity in the next decade. Among them, micro-accelerometers, pressure sensors, micro-mirrors, gas sensors, micro-gyroscopes and other devices have been widely used in the automotive, mobile phone, electronic games, biology, sensor networks and other consumer areas, a large number of mature technologies and products for the Internet of things The application laid the foundation.

The progress of international Internet of Things intellectual property also reflects that the development of the Internet of Things industry is still in the lead-in period. As of the end of 2008, according to the statistics of the national intellectual property patent database and Derwent World Patent Database, there were 1126 foreign patents on sensor networks. According to the distribution of patents, among the 1,126 patents declared, only 15 and 503 were basic and core patents respectively, accounting for 1% and 45% of the total shares, respectively, and 608 peripheral patents were achieved, accounting for the entire proportion. 54%, the proportion of basic patents and core patents is relatively small, and its basic situation is in line with the status quo of the Internet of Things, which is emerging communication application networks and the industrialization of the Internet of Things is still in its infancy.

Western developed countries attach great importance to the Internet of Things and regard it as an important part of future development. The United States has classified micro-nano sensing technology as a vital technology in both economic prosperity and national defense security. The "Smart Earth" program centering on the Internet of Things has also received positive response and support from the Obama administration. Its economic stimulus program will Invested 11 billion U.S. dollars for smart grid and related projects; in June 2009, the European Union formulated and announced a fourteen-point action plan covering standardization, research projects, pilot projects, management mechanisms, and international dialogue. Japan’s U-Japan plans to use the Internet of Things as one of the four key strategies. South Korea’s IT839 strategy has made the Ubiquitous Internet of Things (USN) one of the three major infrastructures. The goal of the U-Life plan is to build a ubiquitous city in Songdo in 2014 with an investment of about US$25 billion. At the same time, the "Next-Generation I-Hub" plan in Singapore and the U-Taiwan plan in Taiwan all regard the Internet of Things as an important strategic goal for the current development.

RFID has become the most concerned technology More and more applications of RFID have been made, and people's expectations for the development of the RFID industry are also getting higher and higher. At present, RFID technology is in a period of rapid maturation. Many countries have actively promoted RFID as an important industry. As early as 2008, the scale of the global RFID market has increased from 4.93 billion US dollars to 5.29 billion US dollars. This figure includes all aspects of the RFID market, including tags, readers, other infrastructure, software and services.

RFID cards and related infrastructure accounted for about 57.3% of the RFID application market, reaching US$3.03 billion. At the same time, applications in the financial and security industries are also accelerating the growth of the RFID card market. Since 2010, due to the improvement of the global economic situation and favorable factors such as the development of the Internet of Things industry, the global RFID market continues to heat up and continues to rise. It is expected that in 2012, the market size will reach more than US$10 billion.

M2M is still the main form of development in the current key areas of development and the Internet of Things. “Smart Earth” is a vision for the development of the Internet of Things. M2M is currently the main form of development in key areas of development and the Internet of Things.

M2M is the abbreviation of "Machine to Machine Communication", which means that the communication and interconnection between machines are realized through a communication network. M2M is not only one of the four major supporting technologies for the Internet of Things, but also the most common form of application of the Internet of Things at this stage. It has achieved commercial applications in Europe, the United States, South Korea, Japan and other countries, such as security monitoring, mechanical services and maintenance services, and public Transportation systems, fleet management, industrial automation, urban information and other fields.

HarborResearch's latest statistics show that the global M2M module (Wireline, WWAN, WLAN, and WPAN) shipments will increase from 135 million in 2010 to 803.4 million in 2014, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of up to 44.2%; The total revenue will increase from 4 billion U.S. dollars in 2010 to 10.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2014, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.0%. These growth drivers will come mainly from wireless personal area networks, wireless wide area networks, and wired networks.

Just as the Internet has stimulated the growth of mobile phones, M2M will stimulate machine market growth and technological innovation. The application space of M2M technology is extremely vast and rich. "How big is your imagination space, and how large is its application space." By then, any device that cannot be networked will quickly devalue, and the number of smart connected devices will exceed the population by two orders of magnitude. The traditional IT and telephone equipment will become a very small part of the M2M world.

Various organizations around the world have researched and developed relevant technical standards. The competition is becoming increasingly fierce. ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission) in sensor networks, ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Group) in ubiquitous networks, ETSI (Europe Telecom Association for Standardization) in the Internet of Things, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in Near Field Wireless, EPCGlobal in RFID, GS1 in Bar Codes, IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) in IPV6 (Next Generation Internet Protocol) Applications, 3GPP (No. The three-generation partnership project) has started research on relevant standards in areas such as M2M, and competition has become increasingly fierce.
