IoT in Retail Market size is set to exceed USD 35 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

The increasing government initiatives in Asian and European countries for the enhancement of the traditional retail sector are driving the IoT in retail market. Governments are aiding retailers to deploy advanced & digitized products to offer high efficiency & consumer attraction benefits. The government of India has taken several initiatives to improve the retail sector such as allowing 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in a single-brand retail under the automatic route without government approval and with liberalized local sourcing norms. Moreover, the transformation of brick & mortar stores, which now use digital payments, digital signages, etc., is adding up to industry development. Technical advancements in the field of IoT & retail along with the increasing awareness will boost the demand for these solutions.
 

Factors, such as high implementation cost and rise in service costs associated with technology, might limit the IoT in retail market growth. Considering that the technology is in its nascent stage and involves high development costs owing to the advanced features possessed by these machines, these technological devices are generally priced high and targeted at individuals or organizations with high purchasing power. The increased cost of implementation might act as a barrier to the mass adoption even with the availability of the right financing option.
