STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) PENETRATION IN INDIVIDUAL CONSUMPTION IN EU COUNTRIES

The interest that Internet of Things (IoT) enjoys is particular not only from a technical point of view, but also through the lens of the special contribution in terms of economic competitiveness or development of public services. As a result, at the European level, IoT development is a goal for both companies and individual users. In our study, we aimed to analyze from a statistical point of view what is the situation of equipping private homes with IoT devices, the factors that exert an influence on individual behavior and the extent to which Member States differ from each other, as a premise for future public measures that will be adopted in this field.
