According to this new research report, the installed base of sensors, actuators, modules, gateways and other connected devices deployed as part of IoT-based building automation in smart and connected commercial buildings was an estimated 151 million units worldwide at the end of 2018. Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33 percent, the installed base will reach 483 million units in 2022. About 4.5 million of these devices were connected via cellular networks in 2018.

The number of cellular connections in the building automation market will grow at a CAGR of 44 percent to reach 19.4 million in 2022. In terms of revenues, the researcher estimates that connected devices into the global BIoT market generated revenues of more than US$ 1.2 billion in 2018. This figure will grow at a CAGR of 21 percent to almost US$ 2.7 billion in 2022. This study analyses the market for building automation in smart buildings along multiple verticals ranging from well-known ones such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), indoor lighting, fire & safety, access & security, to lesser known ones such as electric vehicle charging, irrigation systems and pool monitoring.

The most successful building automation solutions to date, in terms of sold units, include access and security, fire and safety, HVAC systems and elevators and escalators management. These solutions are marketed by product OEMs such as Assa Abloy, Avigilon, AMAG Technology, HID Global, Comark, Tyco, Albireo Energy, Cimetrics, Delta Controls, ENGIE Insight, Silvair, KONE, Otis, Schindler and ThyssenKrupp. The automatic control may be done through a centralized system such as a Building Management System (BMS). Examples of BMS solution providers include ABB, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric, Siemens and United Technologies. Building automation has been around for many decades but there is a new urgency due to factors such as energy conservation as well as mandates for green construction. The latest smart building solutions leverage new technologies such as IoT, big data, cloud computing, data analytics, deep learning and artificial intelligence for the benefits of saving energy, reducing operational expenditures, increasing occupancy comfort, and meeting increasingly stringent global regulations and sustainability standards.

“A major change is starting to happen now especially in new construction, where the primary driver is changing from cost reduction to features that enhance the user experience and change how users and buildings interact. Instead of there being a single killer-app, we are starting to see a combination of use-cases”, said Alan Varghese, Senior IoT Analyst. These use-cases leverage the Internet of Things, sensors and connectivity to enable customization of spaces in offices and conference rooms based on occupancy levels and occupant preferences, efficient mobility throughout the building, and they help occupants with location and wayfinding – all controllable by mobile platforms. Most important, they are capable of predictive awareness of individual needs.

Executive Summary

Smart buildings and building automation are ambiguous terms used in reference to a wide range of solutions for controlling, monitoring and automating functions in buildings such as commercial office spaces, retail stores, hotels, schools, hospitals and industrial buildings.  The researcher's definition of a building automation system requires that it has a smartphone  app or a web portal as a user interface. Devices that only can be controlled with switches, timers, sensors and remote controls are thus not included in the scope of this study. Smart building systems can be grouped into twelve primary categories: HVAC systems; lighting and window control; occupancy comfort and productivity systems; fire and safety; access and security; water management; refrigeration; elevators and escalators management; pool and spa management, irrigation systems; charging for electric vehicles; and audio, video and entertainment.

The researcher estimates that 48 million connected devices were shipped globally into the BIoT market in 2018. Note that by connected devices we mean the functions encapsulated in sensors and actuators, I/O modules, controllers and gateways used to control the functions in a smart building. It does not include the servers that may run the dashboard & apps, nor does it include data storage & analytics. The market is broken down into twelve segments of which the access and security market was the largest, followed closely by the fire and safety segment. This intuitively makes sense because these two segments are not just “nice-tohave”, but critical in any commercial building. Moreover, access and security for a  commercial building will comprise of a large number of units; sensors and actuators have to go into multiple doors and entrance ways into lobbies, laboratories, IT and server rooms, gym and fitness centres and supply rooms.

In terms of the fire and safety segment: heat detectors, smoke alarms, sprinkler device placements are governed by regulations. There has to be a minimum number spaced a certain distance apart. This segment thus turns out to be the second largest market. The researcher estimates that shipments for all segments will grow at a CAGR of 36.0 percent to reach 163 million units worldwide in 2022.
