In addition, these sensors are used for traffic controlling, pollution controlling, parking management, energy management, logistic and building automation, health monitoring, home automation, asset and condition monitoring, waste management, air & water quality management, fleet management, logistic management and other industrial applications.
In October
2020, The ETSI had launched a new version of DECT which supports massive
machine type communication system and can be used in building automation, asset
tracking, industry 4.0, condition monitoring and others.
Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) Market Segment Analysis- By End-User Industry
By end user industry, the mMTC market is segmented into general manufacturing, healthcare, transportation & logistics, power, waste water & water management, automotive and others. Healthcare is estimated to witness highest market growth of 11.4% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The growth of healthcare industry is primarily driven by wide adoption of smart monitoring systems and IoT in health sector. The demand for reliable communication system and growing requirement for patient’s safety measures facilitates the adoption of IoT in this sector, therefore increasing the demand for massive machine type communication.
The mMTC provides real time information that can be a lifesaving factor for critical patients. In current situation the growth in demand of smart monitoring can be attributed to the global pandemic wherein such systems help to monitor the details of a patient’s health and also keep the doctors, nurses, other health workers, authorities of a health institution updated with those details.
In May 2020, Stasis,
Bangalore based Start-up company, had launched a cutting edge patient
monitoring system that helps in managing the increased demand for wards by
setting up isolation wards at the peak of covid-19. Thus, these factors
are set to create massive market growth in healthcare sector during 2021-2026.
Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) Market Segment Analysis- By Geography
North America held the highest market share of 36.5% of Massive machine type communication market in 2020.

Massive machine type communication (mMTC) market Drivers
Growing investment in 5G infrastructure:
The investment in 5g infrastructure and its adoption is expected to grow rapidly due to its ability to provide strong security, lower latency level, enhanced capacity, better network coverage and connectivity, greater data transmission speed, and increased bandwidth compared to other network. In April 2019, Japanese Government approved the plans of four mobile carriers NTT DoCoMo, KDDI, SoftBank and Rakuten to build 5g wireless networks with $14.4 billion investment over the next five years. In October 2019, North American company Qualcomm launched a $200M fund to invest in companies developing 5G ecosystem. Increasing investment in 5G infrastructures and its wide adoption works as growth drivers for mMTC market.
Higher speed connection and real time information:
Higher connectivity speed is one of the main driving forces for this market. Massive machine type communication not only enables machine to machine communication but also makes the communication lighting fast. Massive machine type communication provides real time information which makes the operational process in every business sector more efficient. Better connectivity and access to real time information is beneficial for business of all kinds, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation & logistics, power, waste water & water management, automotive and others.
Massive machine type communication (mMTC) market Challenges
Energy efficiency issues:
Energy efficiency is a major concern for
mMTC devices. Connecting a large number of devices to a single grid is nearly
impossible and due to this, most of the mMTC devices are equipped with a
battery which is assumed to be working for a limited life span without any
battery replacement. mMTC devices can’t perform optimally, when the batteries
get depleted, in that case, communication over long distance may not be feasible
and it lowers overall operational efficiency as well.
Acquisitions/Technology Launches/Partnerships
- In September 2020, Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson had agreed to acquire the US-based market leader in Wireless Edge WAN 4G and 5G Enterprise solutions, Cradlepoint.
