Low power wide area network (LPWAN) market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 45.7% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The LPWAN market is renewed by the rise of IoT devices in various industries, offering cost-effective, low-power connectivity solutions. Government policies and regulatory support encourage the use, particularly in smart grid deployments, energy management, and sustainability initiatives, promoting global connectivity and seamless integration.
Market Dynamics
Proliferation of IoT Devices
The global increase in IoT devices demands efficient and scalable connectivity solutions, such as LoRaWAN and NB-IoT, which can connect vast numbers of devices over long distances with minimal power consumption. According to the IEEE Org., in May 2023, it is estimated that the globe has over 16.7 billion connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices, highlighting the need for robust security measures. Without proper protection, IoT security is necessary for globally deployed networks to preserve user trust since devices can serve as easy targets.
Advancements in LPWAN Technologies
Advancements in hardware and protocol development enhance the reliability and efficiency of LPWAN systems, enhancing network coverage, data efficiency, and battery life, driving market growth. For instance, in March 2023, Fibocom Wireless partnered with Sony Semiconductor Israel and launched the 5G LPWA module MS18 series, powered by Sony's ALT1350 chipset. The module offers ultra-low power consumption and reliable wireless connectivity for the 5G massive IoT market. It supports 3GPP Release 14-17, unlicensed spectrum communications protocols, NTN satellite communications, Wi-Fi SSID-based location, and Short-range radio.
Market Segmentation
Transportation and Logistics Sub-Segment To Hold a Considerable Market Share
The demand for efficient logistics solutions that improve productivity and preserve costs for real-time tracking and monitoring operations is driving the development of LPWAN technologies. According to the US Department of Transportation, in 2022, the US transportation system accommodated 333 million residents living in 124 million households, as well as individuals without personal vehicles, infrequent travelers, and millions of international visitors. It facilitated commuting, access to goods and services, social visits, and both leisure and business travel. Additionally, it played a crucial role in the economy by linking 8.1 million business establishments with their customers, suppliers, and workforce.
Regional Outlook
The global low power wide area network (LPWAN) market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Data Usage and Network Optimization In the Asia-Pacific Region
As data usage continues to rise and the need for network optimization becomes more critical, scalable and reliable connectivity solutions such as LPWAN are essential. LPWAN technologies facilitate efficient data transmission, remote management, and real-time analytics, meeting the increasing demand for IoT-driven insights and operational intelligence. The solutions ensure that networks can handle higher data volumes and maintain optimal performance. According to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, in September 2023, the telecom industry contributed 6.5% to GDP and is expected to grow further with 5G deployments. India's digital economy is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2025 due to increased smartphone proliferation, internet penetration, mobile broadband growth, data usage, and social media penetration. Promoting domestic manufacturing to meet equipment demand will contribute to GDP, employment, exports, and India's international value chain.
Global Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
North America Holds Major Market Share
LPWAN technologies, known for their enhanced security, long battery life, and efficient data transmission rates, are increasingly utilized in EV charging applications to align with the advancing requirements of smart transportation infrastructure that propels market growth. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) org., in 2023, the US installed 6,300 fast chargers in 2022, with approximately three-quarters being Tesla Superchargers, bringing the total number of rapid chargers to 28,000 by the end of the year. The deployment of fast chargers is expected to accelerate due to the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI), which has received government approval. All US states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico are participating in the program and have been allocated USD 885 million for 2023 to support the installation of chargers across 122,000 km of highway, with new national standards announced by the US Federal Highway Administration to ensure consistency, reliability, accessibility, and compatibility.
