As 2024 leaves us, we welcome into the year 2025 with blessings. A new year means a brand new world for us. We will witness a lot of history and we will experience new and exciting things. There is a lot of technology that is booming, and many areas, including the Internet of Things (IoT), will be refreshing.

According to the forward-looking predictions of a number of well-known organizations, by 2025, the Internet of Things will usher in a series of transformative technological applications that will profoundly change our lifestyles, work patterns and social structures.

1. The deep integration of AI and IoT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of IoT. In the Global Internet of Things Market Research Report 2022-2025, it is stated that AI will significantly improve the autonomy and intelligence of devices through real-time data analysis and intelligent decision-making. AI smart home systems can not only automatically adjust the indoor temperature and light, but also make adjustments in advance according to the user's habits, creating a more comfortable living environment. In the industrial sector, AI can predict potential failures by monitoring the status of equipment in real-time, helping companies to reduce maintenance costs and downtime and ensure the smooth operation of production lines.

2. The Rise of New Communication Protocols

Against the backdrop of the proliferation of IoT devices, the efficiency and compatibility of communication protocols have become critical. The introduction of new communication protocols such as Matter and Thread has laid the foundation for the interconnection of smart home devices. According to Gartner analysis, more than 90% of smart home devices will support these new protocols by 2025. As a result, users will be able to control all the devices in their homes with just one app and enjoy a more convenient smart life. This convenience is like having an omnipotent butler in the home to manage every need with ease.

3. Widespread application of edge computing

The rise of edge computing provides a new impetus for the development of IoT. As the requirements for data generation speed in IoT are increasing, it has become an inevitable trend to sink data processing capabilities to the edge of the network. By 2025, about 75% of the world's data will be processed at the edge. This shift not only improves the responsiveness of IoT devices but also allows for a smoother user experience. Especially in areas such as autonomous driving and industrial automation, the application of edge computing technology allows systems to run more efficiently.

4. Popularization of Intelligent Networked Vehicles

The development of smart connected cars will open up new horizons for the wide application of IoT technology. According to the prediction of the Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE), by 2025, the global penetration rate of intelligent connected cars will reach 50%. Through IoT technology, these cars will be able to “communicate” with other vehicles in real-time, as well as access information on road conditions, thus improving driving safety and transportation efficiency.

5. Innovation in agricultural Internet of Things

The application of IoT in agriculture will also continue and stabilize in 2025. With the help of sensors and drones, farmers can monitor soil moisture, climate change, and other factors in real-time to promote precision agriculture. This improves crop yields while effectively saving water and fertilizers and promoting sustainable development. In the field of agriculture, the application of IoT technology is like spring rain, moisturizing the land.

6. The full popularization of 5G technology

The rapid popularization of 5G technology provides strong support for the application of IoT, and the global 5G users will reach 1.5 billion in 2025. 5G's high speed, low latency, and large connection characteristics make the connection of IoT devices more stable and provide possibilities for various emerging applications. In the construction of smart cities, 5G supports the real-time data transmission of a large number of sensors, improving the intelligent level of city management and building a more livable living environment.

In 2025, the Internet of Things (IoT) will usher in a comprehensive transformation driven by the power of new technologies. The deep integration of AI, the application of new communication protocols, the popularization of edge computing, the promotion of smart connected cars, the innovation of agricultural IoT, and the application of 5G technology will together drive the booming development of the IoT industry. All of this will not only change our way of life but also bring new opportunities and challenges to various industries. The future IoT will be more intelligent and interconnected, creating a new life experience and bringing us a better tomorrow.
