Brief introduction to the machine to machine (m2m) market

Machine to machine (m2m) technology establishes wireless communication between machines and the information centre of a business. The goal of m2m is to enable applications that allow businesses to increase productivity and competitiveness. At the heart of each m2m implementation is a communication module which receives processes and transmits information.

The international market for machine-to-machine (m2m) wireless communications is rapidly growing as wireless communications are now a must-have rather than a luxury technology. Businesses that were not interested in m2m wireless solutions in the past are now looking to incorporate this technology in their business as their operations expand and modernise.

The Beecham Research report on the m2m sector, released in June 2011, analyses the latest market developments in all regions around the world and forecasts that the market will enjoy high growth over the coming years. Beecham Research believes that the number of units to be shipped will reach 95.5 million by 2015 representing a 2011-15 CAGR of 27.2%. Beecham Research also projects an average selling price decline of 11.6% p.a. resulting in a CAGR of 12.5 % growth in monetary value of the sector through to 2015 with a total value of m2m market of $1.5bn.
