Some 6.4 billion connected things will be in use globally in 2016, up 30 percent from 2015. The number of connecting devices will reach 20.8 billion by 2020, according to Gartner.
In 2016, 5.5 million new things will get connected every day, Gartner predicts.
Connecting those IoT devices will support a range of services spending of $235 billion in 2016, up 22 percent from 2015.
Those services are dominated by the design, installation and operation of IoT systems. Connectivity services and consumer services will grow at a faster pace, however. In 2020, it is possible that some 13.5 billion consumer-facing devices will be connected.
