Outdoor surveillance cameras are to become the largest global market for 5G Internet of Things (IoT) solutions over the next three years, market researcher Gartner Inc said in a report on Thursday.
The number of 5G IoT installed endpoints for outdoor surveillance cameras would reach 2.5 million units next year, 6.2 million units in 2021 and 11.2 million units in 2022, the report said.
“Cameras deployed by city operators, or used to ensure building security and provide intruder detection, offer the largest addressable market as they are located outdoors, often across cities, and require cellular connectivity,” Gartner senior research director Stephanie Baghdassarian said in the report.
The automotive industry also has tremendous potential, as the number of 5G IoT installed endpoints for connected vehicles is expected to surpass the demand in the outdoor surveillance camera market by 2023, the US-based research firm added.
“The addressable market for embedded 5G connections in connected cars is growing faster than the overall growth in the 5G IoT sector,” Baghdassarian said.
“Commercial and consumer connected-car embedded 5G endpoints will represent 11 percent of all 5G endpoints installed in 2020 (393,000 units), and this figure will reach 39 percent by the end of 2023 (19.09 million units),” she said.
Gartner estimated that the total number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases would more than triple from next year to 2021 — from 3.5 million units next year to 11.3 million units in 2021 and then 48.6 million units by 2023.
The number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases for fleet telematics devices is also expected to increase from 4 percent of the overall 5G endpoints installed next year (135,000 units) to 11 percent by 2023 (5.15 million units).
In-vehicle toll devices also represent a growing segment, as the number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases would increase from 50,000 units next year to 1.55 million units by 2023, or 1 percent to 3 percent of the market.
The number of 5G IoT endpoint installed bases for emergency services is expected to grow from 61,000 units next year to 1.18 million units by 2023, retaining a 2 percent market share.
MANAGING RISKS: Taiwan has secured LNG sufficient to cover 95 percent of electricity demand for next month, UBS said, describing the government’s approach as proactive UBS Group AG has raised its forecast for Taiwan’s economic growth this year to 8 percent, up from 6.9 percent previously, and said expansion could reach as high as 8.6 percent if external energy shocks are avoided. The upgrade reflects a stronger-than-expected first-quarter performance and sustained momentum in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven exports, which UBS said are providing a firm foundation for growth despite geopolitical and energy risks. Taiwan’s GDP expanded 13.69 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, the fastest growth since the second quarter of 1987, the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) reported on Thursday.

Ryanair, Transavia, Volotea and other low-cost airlines are feeling the financial pain from high jet fuel prices as a result of the Middle East war and are cutting flights. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has taken a huge chunk of oil supplies off the market, sending the price of jet fuel soaring and triggering fears of shortages that could force airlines to cancel flights. Airlines are not waiting for a lack of supplies to react. “Travel alert: Airlines are cutting thousands of flights right now,” Travel Therapy host Karen Schaler said in an Instagram reel this past weekend.
Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) have repeatedly hit new highs, but an equity analyst said the stock’s valuation remains within a reasonable range and any pullback would likely be technical. The contract chipmaker’s historical price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has ranged between 20 and 30, Cathay Futures Consultant Co (國泰證期) analyst Tsai Ming-han (蔡明翰) told Central News Agency. With market consensus projecting that TSMC would post earnings per share of about NT$100 (US$3.17) this year, supported by strong global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, and the stock currently trading at a P/E ratio of below 25, Tsai said the valuation
The list of Asian stocks that benefit from business partnership with Nvidia Corp is getting longer, as the region further integrates into the artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant’s business ecosystem. Just in the past week, South Korea’s LG Electronics Inc, Taiwan’s Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技), as well as China’s Huizhou Desay SV Automotive Co (德賽西威) and Pateo Connect Technology Shanghai Corp (博泰車聯) have become the latest to rally on news of tie-ups, supply-chain participation or product collaboration with the US chip designer. Asian suppliers account for about 90 percent of Nvidia’s production costs, up from about 65 percent last year, data compiled
