Global Smart Office Market - By Product (Smart Lighting, Security and Access Control Systems, Energy Management Systems, Smart HVAC Control Systems), Building Types and Region - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2022 - 2030)

As of 2017, the global smart office market was valued at USD 32.62 billion and is expected to reach a value of USD 61.4 billion by 2023, registering a CAGR of about 11.26% during 2018-2023 (the forecast period). Smart office is an integration of multiple technologies, which enables a centralized control and monitoring, helping in an efficient resource management. Traditional office spaces have manually-operated systems for lighting, surveillance, HVAC, and safety and access control. With the changing workplace environments, there is a need for scalable office infrastructure.

Smart office system deploys sensors, automated systems, and advanced communication networks, to enable a centralized control and the wireless data transfer for monitoring and data analysis. This system improves the efficiency of offices. Automated lighting systems and advanced HVAC systems help offices in a better energy management. Advanced connectivity systems in smart offices enable cross-continental communication with video-audio conferencing features. The growth in business and emerging business opportunities in the developing economies are driving the establishment of new infrastructure, with many consumers opting smart office systems for the future. This factor is indicating a growth in demand for smart offices.

Increasing Focus on Energy Efficiency is Driving the Market

The top five consumers of the electricity are expected to account for more than 40% of the global energy consumption. Building operations are expected to account for around 36% of the overall energy consumption. With the growing demand for electricity, the consumption of natural resources has increased drastically, over the last decade. Rising concerns, over environmental safety, are pushing governments to initiate energy regulations, in order to control the overall energy consumption. This factor is pushing offices and other commercial buildings to reduce the overall energy consumption. Offices are looking to employ smart energy management systems, in order to reduce the overall energy consumption and control carbon footprint. Moreover, at present, companies are deploying automated lighting systems and smart HVAC systems. These systems enable operation based on presence and remain off in the absence of personnel. This factor is helping companies to reduce the energy consumption and growing environmental concerns. It is also pushing the companies to adopt efficient systems, which, in turn, is driving the rate of adoption of smart offices, globally.

Smart HVAC Control Systems are dominating the Market Landscape

Smart HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system is critical in the face of depleting natural resources, particularly fossil fuels, setting to raise the cost of energy supply and distribution, over the coming years. On the account of these regulations, most office buildings need smarter processes like heating and cooling, so that new office buildings can become more energy efficient. Moreover, for the millions of offices built over past decades, smart HVAC system is expected to become an essential investment opportunity, if companies are resolute to mitigate their effects on the environment and energy savings. Manufacturers, however, are taking these dynamics and even further presenting a wave of new products that include everything, from self-diagnose systems to variable-speed air handlers with electronic controls. Besides, smart thermostats are bringing the revolution with their wide range of applications in the Internet of Things office automation. The HVAC sensor market is increasing proportionately with the increase of building automation, along with the growing need for efficient and convenient technological systems in the office for numerous applications.
