Gartner Says Global Government IoT Revenue for Endpoint Electronics and Communications to Total $21 Billion in 2022

The worldwide government Internet of Things (IoT) endpoint electronics and communications market will total $21.3 billion in 2022, according to Gartner, Inc. This is a 22% increase from a forecasted total of $17.5 billion in 2021.
 
Globally, over 50% of governments endpoint and communications service spending will be on outdoor surveillance to improve public health and safety.

As 5G is well-suited to video applications due to its high data throughput, Gartner estimates that outdoor surveillance cameras will represent over 75% of the government’s global 5G connections through 2022.
 
In addition, Gartner estimates that 39% of global government endpoints will be shipped with a low-power wide-area (LPWA) interface in 2022, up from 26% in 2020.
