increase (to 26 billion in 2020), bringing diverse innovations and creating business opportunities (Gartner, 2013).
• ‌Global Market Forecast: USD 200 billion in '13 → USD 1 trillion in '20 (Machina Research, Stracorp 2013)
Domestic Market Forecast: KRW 2.3 trillion in '13 → KRW 17.1 trillion in '20 (Stracorp 2014)** Forecasted Global Market Composition: Devices and Parts (38%), SI/ Platform (30%), Service (29%), Network (3%)‌ will be used as a means to solve current issues in society in terms of public administration (improving
IoT
civil services), industry (improving productivity, efficiency, and added-value), and individuals (improving safety,
convenience, and other aspects related to quality of life).
- ‌Small and medium-sized or middle-grade businesses, which will lead to the improvement of industrial competitivenessin the areas of software, sensors, parts, and devices, and creation and innovation of creative IoT services and products,
will be fostered; and security functions will be installed in IoT products and services from the early planning stages.
• ‌50% of IoT solutions are expected to be developed by venture companies for the next 3 years (Gartner, 2013).

‌Though Korea still lags behind major countries globally in terms of IoT competitiveness, it has enoughpotential* to stand as a leader of the global market with its top-class ICT infrastructure and manufacturing
capacities.
* Korea is ranked the second in IDC’s ‘Internet of Things Index’ following the United States (IDC, 2013).

Platform (P)· ‌Large businesses in Korea are developing the platform, but they lack leadership in the global market.
· ‌As SMEs in Korea lack platform, it is difficult for them to enter the market; they are even likely to be dependent on global
businesses.
· ‌Global standardization is in progress based on oneM2M* (established July ’12 and to be completed in August ’14)

Network (N)· ‌Technologies are being developed, which use software to process the rapidly increasing traffic in a flexible manner· ‌There is an increasing demand for non-licensed low-power, long-distance band to interconnect objects of remote areas.
· ‌Infrastructures such as 5G, Giga-Internet, and IPv6 are being developed and constructed to facilitate IoT.

Device (D)· ‌After the widespread take up of smart phones, global companies are now competitively developing augmented, intelligent,and converged devices.
· ‌The market is forecasted to expand based on wearable devices and smart sensors.

Security (Se)· ‌As there are increasing cases of security breaches in IoT services (for home, home electronics, and healthcare),countermeasures are being discussed.
· ‌Technologies and services should be developed, where functions for security and privacy protection are installed from thedesigning stage.

* ‌oneM2M : Standard development institutions around the world – Europe (ETSI), North America (ATIS and TIA), China (CCSA), Japan (ARIB and
TTC), and Korea (TTA) - officially launched oneM2M (in July 2012), in which 267 businesses including Cisco, Huawei, 3M, Intel, IBM, and Oracle
have joined (there are 13 Korean businesses including Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, SKT, KT, LGU+, etc.).
