Press Release

Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) Enterprise Application Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.72% through 2030F

The Global Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) Enterprise Application Market is expected to be led by the Energy and Utilities segment due to its widespread adoption of smart metering and infrastructure monitoring solutions, during the forecast period 2026-2030F


According to TechSci Research report, “Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) Enterprise Application Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F, The Global Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) Enterprise Application Market was valued at USD 4.54 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 11.48 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 16.72% through 2030.

Agriculture and environmental sectors are undergoing a digital shift, embracing precision farming and real-time ecosystem monitoring. NBIoT enables cost-effective deployment of large-scale sensor networks measuring soil moisture, nutrient levels, weather conditions, and crop health. Its long battery life and deep rural coverage make it ideal for farms, forests, and remote environmental monitoring stations. Farmers can automate irrigation, apply fertilizers based on real data, and detect anomalies—like pest infestations—early on. As of 2024, an estimated 25 million sensors for agriculture and environmental monitoring had been deployed across Asia and Europe using NB IoT. These sensors enabled farmers to make data-driven decisions for irrigation and fertilization while helping governments track air and water quality. NB IoT’s robust coverage allowed devices to function reliably in rural and remote environments.

Environmental agencies and NGOs also benefit from NBIoT’s capabilities. Sensors monitoring air quality, water levels, or wildlife presence can be deployed in inaccessible areas and remain operational for years. Governments can use this data to inform disaster response, policy-making, and ecological conservation efforts. NBIoT’s affordability enables massive sensor deployment, facilitating granular environmental intelligence previously restricted by cost or connectivity limitations.

Government investments in smart city programs are rapidly driving the adoption of NB-IoT enterprise applications, particularly in traffic management, environmental monitoring, waste collection, and public safety systems. Municipalities favor NB-IoT because it offers low deployment and operational costs, long device lifespans, and wide-area network coverage, even in underground or densely constructed areas. Devices such as smart parking sensors, air quality monitors, and connected street lighting are being widely deployed across urban centers, many under public-private partnership models.

Several countries, including China, South Korea, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates, are actively embedding NB-IoT infrastructure in public systems. These deployments enable local governments to gather critical real-time data, enhance city services, and improve sustainability metrics such as energy efficiency and carbon emissions. This trend is expected to gain momentum, especially as global urban populations continue to rise and infrastructure modernization becomes a political and economic priority. For technology providers and system integrators, public sector partnerships are emerging as a high-potential channel for long-term enterprise growth.
