Impact of COVID-19 on the IoT in Manufacturing Market

In the first quarter of 2020, the world was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of the COVID-19 outbreak can be seen throughout every industry, especially in the manufacturing sector. Business operations across the manufacturing sector have been disrupted due to shortages in raw materials & workforce, supply chain disruption, and restrictions on operating capacities. Despite the disruptive impact of COVID-19, organizations are planning to increase their investments in the Internet of Things (IoT) as a rapid increase in the adoption of industrial internet of things (IoT). Thus, the pandemic influenced the manufacturing industry to reduce its dependency on manual labor and adapt to advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and IoT.

With the adoption of IoT in manufacturing, manufacturers have observed improved productivity, higher quality, near-zero design error, energy efficiency, leaner process, flexibility in production scale, increased agility, improved predictability, and enhanced monitoring of the processes. Thus, the adoption of IoT technology influenced business operations worldwide to sustain business operations. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the global IoT in manufacturing market. This adoption trend of IoT technology is anticipated to continue and grow during the forecasted period.
