The European LoRaWAN sector is experiencing a significant shift toward fewer, larger operators, driven by a wave of strategic acquisitions and consolidations. This trend is best illustrated by Netmore Group’s recent acquisition of Actility, a key player in the LoRaWAN ecosystem and the company behind the widely used ThingPark platform. This move follows Netmore’s earlier expansion into Brazil and the acquisition of Arson Metering in Europe, all part of a broader strategy to scale globally, reduce market fragmentation, and strengthen its position in utilities, smart cities, and industrial IoT.
The consolidation is aimed at ending years of fragmentation in the LoRaWAN ecosystem, allowing larger operators to offer more robust, carrier-grade networks with service-level agreements (SLAs). This shift is expected to accelerate the deployment of large-scale IoT projects and broaden the adoption of LoRaWAN across various sectors, as the market enters its scaling phase between 2025 and 2030.
