Market Trends of Australia And New Zealand Digital Transformation Industry
The IoT Segment is Expected to Occupy the Largest Market Share
- The growing adoption of IoT technology across end-user industries, such as manufacturing, automotive, and healthcare, is positively driving the market's growth. With the traditional manufacturing sector amid a digital transformation, IoT is fueling the next industrial revolution of intelligent connectivity. This is changing how industries approach increasingly complex processes of systems and machines to improve efficiency and reduce downtime.
- Industry 4.0 and IoT are central to new technological approaches for developing, producing, and managing the entire logistics chain, otherwise known as smart factory automation. Massive shifts in manufacturing due to Industry 4.0 and the acceptance of IoT require enterprises to adopt agile, smarter, and innovative ways to advance production with technologies that complement and augment human labor with robotics and reduce industrial accidents caused by process failure.
- With the high rate of adoption of connected devices and sensors and the enabling of M2M communication, there has been a surge in data points generated in the manufacturing industry. These data points can be of various kinds, ranging from a metric describing the time taken for the material to pass through one process cycle to a more advanced one, such as calculating the material stress capability in the automotive industry.
- The advancements in field devices, sensors, and robots are expected to expand the market scope further. IoT technologies are overcoming the labor shortage in the manufacturing sector. For more and more organizations, using Industry 4.0 technologies, like robotization, is part of day-to-day operations.
- The global IoT demand trend is expected to shift toward the industrial space from consumer demand over the coming years, with sheer volume demand driven by various Industry 4.0 applications. A significant share of the demand is expected to drive the manufacturing industries, energy, business mobility, healthcare, and supply chain.
- Moreover, smart city initiatives are expected to spearhead IoT growth over the coming years. IoT devices and systems are expected to increase as part of transportation, utilities, and infrastructure. Government initiatives and drives in line with this are expected to boost the adoption rates.

Telecom and IT to Witness Major Growth
- These countries rank among the largest IT and telecom markets, witnessing a surge in demand for faster and more seamless connectivity. The segment's expansion is driven by the rising adoption of mobile broadband services, significant investments in high-speed networks, and emerging opportunities for network and equipment vendors.
- Focusing on bolstering digital infrastructure and network connectivity, the 'Better Connectivity Plan' prioritized regional and rural areas of Australia. Meanwhile, the 'TAFE Technology Fund' allocated a USD 50 million investment to upgrade IT infrastructure, workshops, and laboratories across TAFEs nationwide.
- The Australian government overhauls its telecommunications industry to foster competition and ensure broadband services reach every Australian, especially those in regional, rural, and remote locales. The government asserts that every Australian, regardless of their location, will enjoy reliable high-speed broadband. All regions in Australia are mandated to have access to superfast broadband, defined as speeds of 25 Megabits per second (Mbps) or higher, as per the Statutory Infrastructure Provider (SIP) obligations. NBN Co Limited (NBN Co) is tasked with connecting properties and offering wholesale broadband services upon valid requests. As NBN Co broadens its network, it assumes the SIP role in those regions, and subsequently, by default, for the entirety of Australia.
- The IT sector spearheads most digital transformation initiatives, taking charge of both ownership and implementation. With rising automation and AI, there's a marked enhancement in customer service and a shift towards higher-value labor. Moreover, intelligent workflows streamline operations and boost productivity while empowering employees to make more informed decisions.
- Digital transformation, in light of evolving competitive threats, market dynamics, and shifting customer expectations, melds technology with best practices. This integration paves the way for accelerated product development, enriched customer experiences, and innovative business models.
