Neura, a platform that delivers communication solutions, has predicted that the Internet of Things (IoT) trend will have an immediate impact on wearable computing devices, the automotive industry, and the connected home and its sub-segment of safety and security, in that order.
Laying out its predictions in a press release, Gilad Meiri, Chief Executive Officer of Neura, said wearable computing devices were expected to lead the adoption trend, with substantial growth rates predicted within the next 12 to 18 months.
The company has labeled 2014 as “the year of the wearables.” Neura foresees growth in the connected home will follow, peaking in 2016, preceded by the automotive industry in 2020.
“We are entering into an era where devices are connected, and able to communicate and intuitively predict and react to individuals’ daily patterns,” said Meiri. “This idea of connectivity will begin to expand into other markets over time and, by 2020, the number of connected devices will be five times larger than the earth’s population.”
