Industry Overview
The IoT Middleware Market is anticipated to grow from USD 16.8 billion in 2023 to USD 44.2 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 18.60% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2030.
IoT middleware is a software that is between the hardware and applications layers in an Internet of Things (IoT) system which provides a set of services to manage the interaction and communication between different IoT platforms, devices and applications. An IoT middleware platform is a pivotal intermediary in internet of things, that organize communication between various sensors, devices and systems. IoT middleware enables developers to build reusable IoT applications which reduce cost and the time involved in creating custom solutions from graze. IoT middleware enables the development of IoT applications that can control multiple data platforms and sources that shall enhance the usefulness of the data generated by IoT devices. It also helps to ensure the scalability, reliability and security of IoT applications, enabling them to be deployed in a variety of environments. It functions as the nerve center, enabling device management, data exchange and protocol translation within an interconnected network of IoT devices. IoT middleware plays an essential role in the deployment and development of IoT applications. Without IoT middleware, it would be difficult to manage the vast amount of data generated by IoT devices, and to enable the communication and coordination of different IoT devices and systems.
