Driver: Surging Energy Consumption

With the rise in the global population, the energy consumption of different energy sources is also raising. The different energy sources include renewables, coal, natural gas, etc. The people living in urban areas are more addicted to numerous products and equipment which consume such energy sources. The rise in energy consumption led to the increase in electricity production, which directly influenced the production as well as consumption cost. Therefore to minimize the burden, people have started to adopt conservative methods to reduce the consumption of these resources. Hence, BEMS being an energy-conservative technology would attract more people to efficiently manage the use of natural resources and reduce the cost burden of electricity prices.

Challenge: Lack of Trained Experts

The BEMS technology market growth would be restrained because of a lack of skilled labor in the industry. The BEMS technology is a collection of different equipment and technology, which are implemented and operated by a specialized team to deliver the desired functions of the equipment without any fault. The building energy management technology is used for a variety of purposes like automation and control of building systems, managing operation of energy distribution in the building, etc. Additionally, the systems are installed in numerous manufacturing industries, institutions, etc. Therefore, any faulty setup of the system can cause improper output or physical hazards to the user. Hence, only skilled laborers can implement the setup of the BEMS technology.

Trend: Cloud Technology

Cloud computing provides different services through the internet, inclusive of servers, data storage, database, networking, etc. The cloud-based storage allows the user to save files remotely and access them as per the need. The evolvement and rise in cloud technology have extended BEMS from traditional energy visualization and energy analytics to demand response systems. The integration of cloud technology with BEMS provide enhanced management like management of smart sensors through numerous different location, access to a wide range of energy data through convenient terminals, enables energy management between multiple buildings, etc. Hence, the progressive growth of cloud technology is expected to support the growth of the market.

The COVID-19 Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the market growth in the year 2020. Industrial and commercial building energy demand has declined significantly in many countries, accompanied by an increase in residential energy demand. Restricting social distancing has resulted in a sharp drop in the utilization of commercial buildings. However, in 2021, the stabilization of the global economy and the clearance of the roadblocks in industrial manufacturing has resulted in tremendous growth in the BEMS market.

Analysis of Key Players

The global building energy management system market is moderately fragmented, with a large number of small- and medium-sized manufacturers accounting for a major revenue share. The key players in the global building energy management system market are Siemens AG, Johnson Controls International PLC, ABB Group, Honeywell International Inc., Enel S.p.A (Enel X), General Electric Company (GE), Schneider Electric SE, Emerson Electric Co., Robert Bosch GmbH, IBM Corporation, Azbil Corporation and Landis+Gyr.
