Abstract

As an emerging technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is predicted to offer hopeful solutions to renovate the operation and role of many current industrial systems. In this paper we investigated the state of the art among Iranian Companies delivering IoT-based Services through an empirical Survey in years of 2017 and 2018. Based on survey results from more than 150 companies; Top 3 verticals receiving services from private sector are respectively (1) Environment, agriculture, and natural resources, (2) Health and well-being, (3) Transportation and urban development. Some verticals that have a little attention from public and private sector are Security and disaster management, and Education & Research. From business model view, B2G services are the main targeted segments of market among supply side of IoT services and applications. About challenges that are in front of private sectors, it seems the lake of external funding be the main constraint of Iranian service providers in the field of IoT.
