RTInsights, Monday, November 17th, 2025
IoT data is the fuel that powers adaptive edge intelligence. By analyzing IoT data directly at the edge, organizations gain the ability to interpret context the moment it occurs.
American bank robber Willie Sutton is famous for answering a reporter's question about why he robbed banks with 'because that's where the money is.' A comparable type of thinking is now driving analytics and AI to the edge.it's where the data is. That is driving an interest in adaptive edge intelligence.
A look at the IoT market provides one indication of the volume of data available for analysis to make real-time decisions. According to an IoT Analytics , the number of global IoT devices is expected to grow 14% in 2025 to 21.1 billion, up from 18.5 billion in 2024. And the market is forecast to reach 39 billion connected IoT devices by 2030; over 50 billion by 2035.
