The increase in IT consolidation and modernization is the key factor driving the global smart city market growth. IT consolidations in organizations help improve operational efficiency and achieve economies of scale. The ever-increasing consolidation of IT infrastructures such as data centers and networking systems in organizations is forcing C-suite executives to implement advanced IT service delivery models like shared and managed IT services.
The continual change in technology and the need for IT modernization in numerous industry verticals, such as the manufacturing, BFSI, telecom, and healthcare sectors, are the key factors driving the adoption of IT services and the deployment of smart city projects for providing better connectivity and sustainability. The growing popularity of social media and mobile devices and organizations' focus on modernizing their IT infrastructure are the other factors driving the smart cities market during the forecast period.
The proliferation of smart city projects in emerging economies is the primary trend in the global smart city market. Developed economies in North America and Europe have been working on developing smart cities for a decade and have already implemented many projects. APAC is the fastest-growing region in terms of smart city technologies. Rapid urban growth, fueled by mass migration to the cities, is increasing the urban population in Asia, which is leading to the development of infrastructure in cities, particularly in emerging countries in Asia. Emerging economies like India and China are still in the planning phase and are launching many pilot projects.
Cambodia, Phnom Penh, Battambang, and Siem Reap have been selected to take part in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN's) Smart Cities Network, which is working on developing smart, sustainable urban development in 26 cities around the region by 2025. The rapid rate of urbanization in countries like India is also a major factor responsible for the roll-out of smart city projects, as smart city infrastructure help end-users (such as government agencies, healthcare, and transportation service providers) respond faster to the challenges being faced by urban settlements.
The high cost of upgrading smart grids is a major challenge to the global smart city market growth. The high cost of upgrading smart grids is expected to hinder the growth of the global smart city market during the forecast period. The costs involved in upgrading smart grids include additional investments in distribution systems, replacement of transmission lines, power delivering systems, substation digitalization, and digital controls. Consequently, power utilities and independent power producers face the prospect of huge initial capital investment.
The aging power infrastructure of these utilities and their growing need for renewable power grid integration will increase their grid renovation budgets in the coming years. This is the consequence of the near-term cost evasion by utilities, and it acts as a barrier to the adoption of smart grid data management solutions. The power utility providers are reluctant to upgrade their power grids to make them compatible with smart grid data management solutions because of the high costs involved. This is expected to have a significant impact on the growth of the global smart city market in the future.
The smart city market share growth by the smart infrastructure segment will be significant during the forecast period. Smart infrastructure involves digitalization in energy systems, buildings, and industries to enhance the way people live and work by improving efficiency and sustainability. Smart buildings have advanced installation and technology systems that allow the automation of numerous internal processes, such as heating, ventilation, lighting, security, and other systems in the building.
