Global Narrowband IoT Market Forecast 2035:
According to the report, the global Narrowband IoT market is likely to grow from USD 1.0 Billion in 2025 to USD 17.3 Billion in 2035 at a highest CAGR of 32.5% during the time period. The global Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) market is experiencing robust growth driven by increasing deployment in smart cities, utilities, and rural sectors, as exemplified in 2025 by u-blox’s launch of a hybrid NB-IoT plus satellite-fallback chip tailored for critical asset tracking in remote and maritime environments. This innovation underscores the market’s evolution toward seamless, globally connected IoT infrastructure. Concurrently, smart metering remains a core application, with Qualcomm’s mid-2025 release of its ultra-low-power NB-IoT modem, enabling battery life beyond 10 years in utility devices—garnering strong OEM interest for field-deployed sensors. Breakthroughs in coverage and power efficiency propel NB-IoT into broader, high-value industrial and remote-deployment markets.
“Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Narrowband IoT Market
The increasing adoption of NB-IoT in agriculture is fueling market growth, as farmers deploy connected soil sensors, livestock trackers, and smart irrigation systems to optimize yields. For instance, in 2025, China Mobile partnered with agricultural cooperatives to expand NB-IoT-based water management systems across rural provinces, significantly reducing water usage while improving crop productivity. This rising use in precision agriculture highlights NB-IoT’s role in strengthening food security and sustainability.
The deployment of NB-IoT networks in some developing countries faces spectrum allocation issues, where regulatory delays hinder timely rollouts. In 2025, certain African telecom operators reported setbacks due to incomplete harmonization of spectrum bands, causing bottlenecks in scaling IoT deployments. These spectrum-related uncertainties limit NB-IoT adoption in rural connectivity projects, slowing down its global expansion pace.
Healthcare presents a strong growth opportunity, with NB-IoT enabling low-power, always-connected wearables and medical sensors for chronic disease management. In March 2025, Deutsche Telekom introduced NB-IoT-enabled wearable integration for European hospitals, enabling real-time patient health tracking with secure data transmission. This opportunity aligns with the global shift toward telemedicine and remote healthcare infrastructure.
" Tariff Pressures Reshape Global Narrowband IoT Supply Chains and Cost Structures"
- Tariff adjustments are increasingly impacting NB-IoT hardware costs and strategic sourcing decisions. In 2025, U.S. tariffs on Chinese telecommunications modules soared to 30%, compelling NB-IoT module manufacturers to reconsider reliance on low-cost Chinese component supply. Semiconductors for IoT devices absorbed steep duty hikes, leading major module providers to shift procurement toward domestic or alternate-tier suppliers to mitigate input cost increases. For example, IoT providers sourcing NB-IoT modules noted upwards of 30% margin compression on U.S.-bound units due to elevated import duties.
- This shift is not limited to U.S. markets—manufacturers targeting global rollouts now face variant tariff profiles across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, requiring flexible production footprints and diversified vendor bases. Consequently, NB-IoT module and gateway producers must balance component affordability with strategic agility in supply chain architecture.
Regional Analysis of Global Narrowband IoT Market
- The Asia Pacific region dominates the Narrowband IoT market due to extensive government-backed smart infrastructure rollouts and large-scale telecom investments. In June 2025, China Mobile announced the successful expansion of its NB-IoT coverage to support 1.2 billion connections, primarily in utilities, logistics, and agriculture. Rapid adoption in countries like China, India, and South Korea, combined with strong manufacturing bases for NB-IoT modules, is driving unparalleled ecosystem growth. Asia Pacific’s massive scale and government-driven deployments solidify its position as the global leader in NB-IoT adoption.
- North America’s NB-IoT growth is fueled by industrial digitalization and advanced smart utility programs. In March 2025, AT&T expanded its NB-IoT connectivity for smart metering across U.S. utility networks, highlighting the region’s emphasis on industrial IoT, energy efficiency, and connected infrastructure supported by robust telecom partnerships.
Prominent players operating in the global Narrowband IoT market are AT&T Inc., China Mobile Limited, China Unicom, Deutsche Telekom AG, Ericsson AB, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Intel Corporation, Nokia Corporation, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Quectel Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Sequans Communications S.A., Sierra Wireless, Inc., SIMCom Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd., Telit Communications PLC, T-Mobile US, Inc., u-blox Holding AG, Verizon Communications Inc., Vodafone Group Plc, ZTE Corporation, and Other Key Players.
