The sensors to be used in the Internet of Things will be the ones that will boost the sales of microprocessor manufacturers over the next few years.
This is the prediction made by the consulting firm KPMG for 2015, according to a report by Venture Beat. In research of KPMG involved 155 companies and according to the data collected their main revenues will come, in the next few years, from sensors, big data applications and medical equipment.

After all, the report as a whole is more positive than the corresponding one last year, reflecting the greater optimism of the specific industrial sector.
More than 80% of the participants answered that they expect an increase in revenues and profits in the coming years. About 61% of respondents expect the sensor sector (for cars, apps, etc.) video, touch screens, wearables and for the Internet of Things) will increase significantly during 2015.
66% of the companies that participated in the KPMG survey believe that the medical industry will be a "great opportunity" in the years to come. Also, 62% considers that network and telecom products will have the most growth in 2015.
It is also estimated that cloud, big data and wireless / mobile applications will make a significant contribution to the revenue of processors.
Finally, the executives of the companies estimate that USA, China and India will continue to be the most important markets for the next three years. 87% of microprocessor manufacturing companies had revenues of more than one billion during 2014.
