Increasing Smart City Projects to Surge Market Opportunities
Rapid urbanization is expected to accelerate the global smart building market growth in the forthcoming years. For instance, a high-level Expert Forum 2019 report shows that 70% of the world population is expected to shift to urban areas by 2050. This factor would surge the demand for buildings and spaces for sustaining livelihood and work requirements. Considering the urbanization trend, governments worldwide invest in smart city projects with advanced infrastructure, cleaner transportation, intelligent buildings, and other smart technology. Building contributes to the major energy consumption and investment, so developing connected buildings is an initial step toward smart city projects. For instance,
Thus, with rising smart city projects and investments, the demand for smart and connected buildings is expected to grow rapidly.
Growing Energy Consumption Concerns to Drive Market Growth
The growing concerns about increasing energy consumption worldwide are expected to fuel more advanced and energy-efficient technology. For instance, as per the IoT and smart building 2019 report of IBM Corporation, commercial and real estate buildings utilize 50% water and energy. The report further states that buildings are expected to consume maximum energy by the end of 2025. Similarly, according to Schneider Electric Whitepaper, 36% of carbon emission comes from buildings. This high consumption and wastages exponentially increase the overall cost of operations and maintenance.
However, strict governance on energy consumption and green building initiatives boost the demand for energy-efficient technology across buildings. This factor is expected to propel the implementation of intelligent building solutions globally. According to the IBM Corporation report, implementing advanced technology, including AI, Internet of Things (IoT), and others helped reduce energy usage by 40% and 10%-30% maintenance costs. Similarly, as per Deloitte’s report, the implementation of smart technology and IoT devices witnessed 70% energy saving in three years. This factor is expected to fuel the market growth.
Growing Incidence of Cyber Attacks in Connected Buildings to Hamper Market Growth
The significant barrier to market growth is growing cyber-attacks. Intelligent technology is connected to every building system and device. It may sometimes provide confidential and personal information on being hacked. For instance, as per the Kaspersky report, four out of 10 connected buildings are at risk of cyber-attacks. This high risk of cyber-attack is expected to hamper market growth in the future. Thus, it is essential to implement contingent operational plans to ensure the safety of connected buildings from such attacks.
