In each industry of the different economic sectors, the integration of digital technologies continues unabated. Many companies are digitizing their products and processes, integrating technologies among which the Internet of Things (IoT) stands out, due to its role of collecting, processing, deciding, and triggering actions between objects. However, the adoption of IoT implies the complex management of factors, among which some drive and motivate (drivers), others enable conditions (enablers), and others arise as obstacles that hinder implementation (barriers). This document focuses on a review of the literature on the drivers, enablers, and barriers for IoT adoption, placing special emphasis on companies in the primary sector of the economy. As goal, this review seeks to identify these factors in the adoption of IoT, and to identify the most common and least influential ones.
