According to a report from the European Parliament in June 2023, France led the way in recycling, with 49.6% of municipal waste recycled in 2021. The EU has set an ambitious goal of recycling and reusing 60% of municipal waste by 2030, underscoring the increasing demand for waste management that propels the growth of the IoT in the utilities market.

The integration of new technologies stands out as a significant trend gaining momentum in the IoT in the utility market. Key industry players are actively integrating new technologies to secure a competitive advantage. An illustration of this trend is evident in the initiative by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), as of March 2022. DEWA launched a 6U nanosatellite equipped with customized high-resolution image sensing technology specifically designed for communication with IoT terminals. These nanosatellites are tailored for use in energy and water networks, serving to detect thermal irregularities in high-voltage transmission lines, substations, homes, and solar power stations.

Major companies in the IoT in utilities market are concentrating on innovative products such as satellite IoT networks to bolster their market revenues. A satellite IoT network involves utilizing satellite technology to establish connectivity and communication among Internet of Things (IoT) devices. An example of this is the collaboration between Wyld Technologies Ltd and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), as of May 2022. They introduced DEWA-SAT1, the world's first utility to plan and maintain its networks using IoT and nanosatellites. This satellite IoT network service caters to various industries, providing cost-effective, low-power wireless solutions that securely link smart objects, people, and things.

In February 2022, Gridspertise, an Italy-based smart grid solutions provider leveraging IoT in utilities, entered into a collaboration with Qualcomm, with the specifics undisclosed. This strategic partnership positions Gridspertise to explore opportunities in electricity distribution asset monitoring and grid digitalization for global utilities, with Qualcomm's expertise as a US-based semiconductor company providing IoT devices and services.
