There will likely be a permanent uptick in IoT adoption resulting from the coronavirus pandemic

We foresee a permanent uptick in IoT adoption resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. As with tools, the accelerated investment in IoT solutions is in direct response to the coronavirus pandemic, but the technology will continue to proliferate post-pandemic as it unlocks long-term efficiencies. For example, even if a company invests in an autonomous cleaning robot to cope with the pandemic, its cost savings will be realized for the life cycle of the machine.

Similarly, though the proliferation of thermal cameras arose in response to the coronavirus, airports and factories will likely maintain their use in the long term, as there will likely be heightened sensitivity to the potential for future outbreaks. Speaking about increased IoT demand in the healthcare space after pandemic disruptions subside, AT&T's Chris Penrose

us, "you're going to continue to see more and more demand in the use cases around IoT and I think that [will also] translate through to many other industries as well."Business Insider Intelligence analyzes the tech industry and provides in-depth analyst reports, proprietary forecasts, customizable charts, and more.
