Infrastructure Management and Monitoring and IoT
As infrastructure ages, the costs associated with regular physical inspections and ongoing maintenance can become substantial. This challenge is not confined to a single region; it is a global issue. Only in the United States, as of 2025, approximately 41 600 bridges are a poor condition according to ARTBA. As a response to the challenge, the number of infrastructure monitoring devices will increase from 18.6 million in 2023 to approximately 45.7 million in 2033 according to Transforma Insights.
The significant growth of Infrastructure Monitoring devices is driven by the increasing demand for real-time data and the integration of IoT technology to enhance the efficiency and reliability of infrastructure systems, including the applications like such as dam and reservoir monitoring, construction management, bridge monitoring, rail tracking, and more.
In 2025, the majority of IoT connections remain concentrated in North America, accounting for roughly 36% of the global installed base, though this share is projected to gradually decline to about 33% by 2033. Europe is expected to see significant growth, rising from around 23% in 2025 to nearly 28% by 2033. Greater China’s share is also anticipated to increase, climbing from approximately 12% in 2025 to 18% by 2033, reflecting continued expansion in the region. Other regions, including Latin America, Japan, and South Korea, maintain smaller but gradually growing shares of the global IoT market.
We are strongly sure that there’s a high relevance of IoT to infrastructure monitoring use cases as over 8% of 1NCE customers are from the infrastructure industry.
