Traditionally, a B2B (Business-to-Business) solutions/services market, a new report by leading analyst firm and M2M specialist Beecham Research predicts the coming of age of a growing consumer market for M2M products and services that will rapidly catch up to the traditional business. The report, entitled Consumer M2M: The Approaching Mass Market, forecasts more than 100m consumer M2M products being shipped within the next 5 years — with most of them being connected to cellular mobile networks. According to Beecham Research, the M2M market is still small compared with the worldwide mobile handset business. Nevertheless, new network connections for mobile handsets are rapidly slowing in many markets, particularly in Europe and North America. On the other hand, those for M2M are speeding up. However, M2M is very different to the mobile handset business, even for consumer products. Although using less airtime, it offers low cost of sale and low churn together with stable revenues and margins. Further details and the report itself are available by selecting the attendant graphic.
