Blockchain Integration: Blockchain technology is being used to enhance the security and integrity of IoT data. It ensures that data remains tamper-proof and can be trusted across the entire data lifecycle.

Interoperability Standards: Standardization efforts, such as the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) and Project CHIP, aim to establish common standards for IoT device communication. This will simplify integration and make it easier for devices from different manufacturers to work together seamlessly.

IoT Integration as a Service (IoTiaaS): Managed IoT integration services are emerging, allowing organizations to outsource the complexity of integration to specialized providers. This can reduce the burden on internal IT teams and accelerate IoT deployment.
