Vision to Value: Findings from a Worldwide Study of IoT Adoption in Consumer Products Industry

Session Abstract:

IoT is a game-changing force, a market expected to top half a trillion dollars within 5 years. But what does this mean for the consumer products industry? To find out, SAP recently conducted the first-ever global study of IoT adoption specifically targeting consumer products executives. What did we find? Consumer products companies face pressing business challenges…and they know where they need to progress. A significant set of respondents had a very clear understanding of IoT and its applicability. The IoT hype is all around consumer gadgets, but there is massive value in applying IoT to supply chain processes. This in-person session will explore these findings in depth, as well as implications for the path forward.
