The smart city market is expected to grow from US$ 1094.23 billion in 2022 to US$ 3110.58 billion by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 19.0% from 2022 to 2028.

Smart cities are a concept where various aspects of a city or a province are based upon advanced technologies. These cities use digital technology and the internet to enhance the performance of services and quality of life by optimizing energy and improving security for the citizens. The smart city concept aims to develop robust connectivity and infrastructure to enable real-time information access for building a management system that efficiently connects citizens, service providers, and administrators. Furthermore, the government ensures that inhabitants actively participate in improving the overall sustainability and productivity of services by furnishing the cities with elemental infrastructure.

Smart infrastructure technology has significantly changed over time, and various disciplines, such as building automation for facility and emergency response management, building energy optimization, parking management, and in-building communication systems, are now being widely adopted. Furthermore, Green building initiatives have taken center stage across many countries, especially across Europe, North America, and APAC regions. Focus on reduction in energy consumption and concerns over the proliferation of environmental wastes are the major driving factors for the development of smart cities. Transportation is expected to be another major focus area during the smart city market forecast period.

Strategic Insights

Depletion of energy sources and inefficient resource management are gradually becoming major concerns across the globe. This is driving the demand for smart energy solutions across the globe. Smart energy management systems use sensors, advanced meters, renewable energy sources, digital controls, and analytic tools to automate, monitor, and optimize energy distribution and usage. Such systems optimize grid operation and usage by balancing the needs of the different stakeholders involved (consumers, producers, and providers). There are several innovations in smart energy infrastructure, such as distributed renewable generation, microgrids, smart grid technologies, energy storage, automated demand response, virtual power plants, and demand-side innovations such as electric vehicles and smart appliances. Such innovations provide an extended network of intelligent energy devices across a city, with a detailed view of energy consumption patterns, enabling community-based energy monitoring programs and improving the energy efficiency of buildings.

Regional Analysis of Smart City Market

From the regional perspective, North America held the largest share of the global smart city market in 2021. The high adoption of technologically advanced solutions across all industrial sectors of the region is contributing to the growth of the North America smart city market. The increasing government support for technology adoption through the announcement of subsidies, tax credits, and funding to industries for technological development is further catalyzing the market, thereby offering lucrative business opportunities to the smart city market players operating across the region. For instance, in November 2021, the US federal government announced funding of US$ 500 million under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to overcome the challenges of smart cities.
