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.

Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
