The growth of the IoT is increasing at the greater pace with the advancement in the technology. The development of the IoTin anumber of fields has led to the development of various applications which include ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems), smart home systems, intelligent shopping systems,etc. The primary idea of the IoT is to connect the previous and the new physical objects to the Internet. It can be estimated that by the year 2050, the total number of devices connected to the internetwill be around five times more than its users.Along with such advancements, this paper presents the review of major applications of IoT along with challenges, findings of previous researches and future work that can be carried based on the results that are achieved till now.
