Cellular M2M Value-Added Services Market Size
The global cellular M2M value-added services market was valued at USD 5.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.2% between 2025 and 2034. The growth in the IoT technologies space will boost the sales in the market.
A report by Global Market Insights noted an accelerating compound growth at eight percent for the sector in the year to come. In August 2024 Deutsche Telekom entered the Bridge Alliance, a partnership of 35 mobile communications companies based in Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Europe, and so greatly propelled its global IoT business. Deutsche Telekom has set itself the goal to improve its worldwide IoT connectivity services by joining the Bridge Alliance. This enhances flexibility in addressing customer needs in different territories and thus enables easier entry into IoT markets for businesses in the Asia Pacific region.
This also shows an IoT surge that coincides with the growth of connected devices and the desire of users to have these devices interact seamlessly. Usage of IoT solutions in healthcare, automotive, agriculture, manufacturing, and smart cities is increasing the need for dependable telecoms services. Critical communication enabling these devices to connect with central systems, platforms and cloud services, is provided by Cellular M2M (Machine-to-Machine) networks,
The emergence of faster and more reliable networks is critical for the IoT ecosystem. In addition, the expansion of 5G networks will aid in the growth of cellular M2M value-added services market. As of Q1 2025, total globally circulation has reached nearly 2 billion this number is projected to rise due to improved 5g coverage. In industrial sectors such as health care, manufacturing, automotive, and smart cities, 5g technology is a key enabler of intricate and data demanding applications because of its wide range of features, including reduced latency, higher bandwidth, and low latency. With the rise of cellular-based IoT devices, remote device management, data analytics, real-time monitoring, and network optimization have become essential for maximizing the potential of such devices making those network features in high demand.
Cellular M2M Value-Added Services Market Trends
A shift is occurring whereby companies prefer to utilize edge devices for data processing rather than rely on a cloud based environment. Desirable response times, quicker informed decision making and robust systems are some of the reasons that have motivated this shift. This also explains the growing need for M2M value added services as IoT devices become increasingly data intensive and require real time processing. In an attempt to cut costs associated with cloud consumption, these services have been optimized and modified, including remote device management, data analysis, and distributed network control alongside IoT applications to boost their performance.
There is an increasing demand for quick data processing and analysis as IoT devices generate greater amounts of data. Multiple industries are leveraging AI and ML in order to automate processes as well as gain predictive insights. Utilizing AI-powered services enables businesses across various sectors predicting future trends based on previously collected data, allowing them to make informed decisions without additional input. Over time this can help improve efficiency and customer satisfaction while reducing downtime.
A significant hurdle for businesses trying to implement cellular M2M value-added services are the high initial costs required to install and manage the software and hardware. Companies need to invest into purchasing and integrating M2M devices with cellular networks to begin working on their IoT systems to further reap business benefits in the long run. Unfortunately, this prevents many companies, especially those unsure of the return on investment from their IoT systems, from proceeding with development.
Small and medium sized companies and enterprises that operate in industries that are cost-sensitive are specially impacted as the enhanced infrastructure that is required for cell M2M value-added services entails more computing resources and advanced software resulting in an increase in overall costs.
Cellular M2M Value-Added Services Market Analysis
Based on service, the cellular M2M value-added services market is segmented as security services, device management, data analytics, application enablement, and others. In 2024, the device management segment held a market share of over 28% and is expected to exceed USD 7 billion by 2034.
Based on deployment mode, the cellular M2M value-added services market is divided into cloud-based, on-premises, and hybrid.
The cloud-based segment held around 49% of the market share in 2024. Cloud platforms present the largest share.
