Country Spotlights How much can the Industrial Internet of Things Fast-Track Your Economic Growth?
‘Accenture Institute for High Performance’ measured the potential direct and indirect impact of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) investments on gross domestic product (GDP) growth. We then analyzed each country’s ability to absorb IIoT benefits. By combining the findings, we were able to project how the IIoT can impact the potential GDP growth by 2030 for 20 different countries.

The 20 countries in our sample We modelled the IIoT’s potential impact on the GDPs of 20 developed and emerging economies that generate over 3/4 of the world’s economic output.
