Phoenix, Dec.20, 2018: Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor technology experienced double-digit growth in 2018, yet security for IoT continues to be the biggest challenge for electronic product developers to overcome, according to new research by global tech solutions company Avnet.
For the ‘Product Developer Index’, the company surveyed 1,190 members of the 1.3 million strong Hackster.io and element14 engineering communities to understand where they are focusing their development efforts, what the challenges are, and what has changed over the past year.
According to 61 percent of respondents, IoT and sensors were the most important technologies for products they’re designing today. IoT products saw the most significant growth in importance, up 14 percent from last year, followed closely by drones and robotics projects, which were up 8 percent. More than a quarter of developers (26 percent) also noted that IoT was the most improved technology of 2018, followed closely by artificial intelligence (AI) at 25 percent.
