The percentage growth involving the Internet of Things is quite varied and in many cases rather stunning.

Based on a tabulation of the market research that came out over the first six months of this year that I just completed, some of the growth areas are more than double and even triple over the previous year.

As a follow to yesterday’s look at the IoT numbers from the first half of this year (The Numbers In The Internet Of Things: A  Mid-Year Tally), this is a different view of the IoT market.

Here, then, are the percentages (in ascending order) around the Internet of Things, with the source of each at the end. Hope you find it helpful.
