Future IoT (2024-11-21)
A recent study by ABI Research reveals that 76% of discrete and process manufacturers are increasingly adopting cloud platforms to enhance real-time collaboration and improve supply chain efficiency. This finding comes from the 2024 Manufacturers’ Technology Adoption & Attitudes Survey, which surveyed 461 manufacturing decision-makers across the United States, Malaysia, and Germany. The results indicate a strong belief among respondents that cloud solutions are essential for fostering collaboration with suppliers, distributors, and partners.
“Manufacturers are leveraging cloud platforms, especially hybrid cloud solutions, to help increase production output and efficiency,” says Yih-Khai Wong, principal analyst with ABI Research.

The acceleration of digital transformation initiatives including hybrid cloud deployments, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) solutions, and the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) at the edge network continues to generate usage and demand for next-generation data centres. ABI Research forecasts that next-generation colocation data centres will reach 7,640 sites by 2030, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
Data centres will continue playing an integral role in driving enterprises' digital operations. “Deployment of cloud-based solutions remains a top agenda for many enterprises, necessitating the demand for data centres. The rise of edge-to-cloud data management orchestration solutions increases the benefits of running workloads through a robust and well-equipped data centre,” says Yih-Khai Wong, distributed and edge computing senior analyst at ABI Research.
