SMART BUILDING MARKET OVERVIEW

The global smart building market size was valued at approximately USD 89.28 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 239.96 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 11.7% from 2025 to 2033.

An intelligent building is a structure that utilizes IoT and automated technology to regulate various building systems, including security, ventilation, lighting,  air conditioning, and heating. Such buildings use sensors, actuators, and microchips to gather and handle data according to the services and operations of an organization (or household). These smart infrastructure solutions help to build operators, owners, and facility managers to increase the dependability and performance of their assets, reduce their energy consumption, make better use of their available space, and lessen the adverse environmental effects of their structures.

Smart buildings are the one that uses automation to manage a variety of systems, including lighting, heating, air conditioning, infrastructure, security, and ventilation. A "smart building" uses technology to increase a structure's cost-effectiveness, safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The ventilation, air conditioning, heating, lighting, and other building activities are all controlled by a complex control system found in smart buildings. This system is made up of sensors, actuators, and microchips. As these buildings provide capabilities to reduce operational expenses, tenant management, security management, and building performance management, the market gains traction. Additionally, it is anticipated that the development of 5G technology and the rise in smart city initiatives would open up the attractive potential for the expansion of the construction sector.

COVID-19 Impact: Shut Down Of Offices Affected Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with Rochelle salt experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The demand for smart solutions for a safe workplace is anticipated to increase as business facilities are reopened for in-office work following the epidemic. After the lockdown, the facilities managers of commercial buildings were asked to work from home, which affected the growth rate of market. The pause on construction activities retarded the growth rate of the market. The construction activities were put on hold, which impeded the market growth during the lockdown. 

LATEST TRENDS

Escalating Smart City Projects to Propel Growth Opportunities

Steady urbanization is anticipated to promote the expansion of the worldwide smart building market. The population is rapidly moving to cities, which is expected to cause an increase in demand for homes, offices, and other structures. In light of the global trend toward urbanization, governments all over the world invest in smart city projects that include cutting-edge infrastructure, eco-friendly transportation, intelligent structures, and other cutting-edge technologies. Buildings are a key energy consumer and investor. Therefore creating connected buildings is the first step toward initiatives for smart cities.
