The expansion in the usage of IoT (Internet of Things) devices contributes to the demand for IoT testing, propelling the growth of the IoT testing market. IoT, encompassing a system of interconnected devices accessible through the internet, finds applications in a wide array of gadgets and sectors, including smartwatches, refrigerators, air conditioners, lock systems, infrastructure, and healthcare products. Thorough testing of these devices is crucial to ensure their connectivity, performance, usability, and security. Gartner estimates project that the number of IoT devices in operation will surpass 20 billion by 2026, further driving the growth of the IoT testing market.

The surge in mobile connections is anticipated to be a key driver for the expansion of the IoT testing market. Mobile connections involve the interaction between a mobile device and a cell tower, facilitating the device's access to the internet and other mobile network services. These connections play a vital role in IP testing, adapting to specific test requirements. As of February 2023, Uswitch Limited reports that there were 71.8 million mobile connections in the UK, reflecting a 3.8% increase (approximately 2.6 million) from 2021. Moreover, with 95% of the UK's 68.3 million population expected to own a smartphone by 2025, the rising number of mobile connections is poised to drive the growth of the IoT testing market.

Virtualization for IoT test automation is emerging as a key trend in the IoT testing market. It addresses challenges faced in traditional testing, such as scalability issues for connected devices, maintenance concerns, difficulties with unit-level code checking, and high-performance deliverables. By simulating hardware and software, virtualization aligns dependencies with actual behavior, resulting in more accurate test outcomes. This approach accelerates testing processes and reduces the overall effort involved. Key components include sensor, API, and service virtualization, each playing distinct roles in the testing framework. For instance, Telenor IoT introduced a new testing facility, the Telenor IoT Test Lab, in Karlskrona, Sweden, in spring 2024. This lab provides a unique platform for customers to understand how their connected IoT products will perform prior to deployment.
