The companies working in this field use Cambashi’s research to evaluate total available markets and identify areas they want to expand into.

Cambashi recently completed a scoping study on the Internet of Things market that is still evolving. The focus has been to analyze the market and learn who the players are, what the technology is, and what kinds of systems are available. This allows them to measure the revenues and the size of the market in order to identify who the players are. The study took over a year and a half to complete.

Editorial Notes: Alan made two references in the podcast he would like to clear up:

1. He states “a typical Rolls-Royce engine may have 20,000 sensors.” He meant to state 20,000 PARTS instead. In actuality, the number of sensors is closer to 5,000.

2. He states “virtually every mobile phone in the world is designed by ARM.” He meant to say virtually every mobile phone in the world CONTAINS A CHIP that was designed by ARM.
