Juniper Research releases emerging IoT trends report for 2026
UK-based analyst firm Juniper Research has published its "Top 10 Emerging Tech Trends for 2026," highlighting technologies it says will shape how organisations plan and invest in IT over the next few years. The list puts particular focus on neuromorphic computing, physical AI, and post-quantum cryptography, positioning them as key areas set to influence future IoT deployments and broader digital infrastructure.
Juniper frames these trends as early signals for where budgets and research efforts are likely to shift, rather than mature markets today. The firm’s report is aimed at businesses looking to map longer-term technology bets and understand which emerging tools may start to move from labs and pilots into practical use by 2026.
