International. Research and Markets research report predicts that the global Smart Facility Management market will grow at a CAGR of 18.0% during the forecast period 2019-2025.
The smart installations market is mainly driven by the growing demand for energy-efficient buildings among commercial constructions. The integration of smart building functions with BAS or BMS and the lack of interest among facility owners to implement smart facility components are restricting the growth of this market.
Smart facility management helps companies monitor and maintain the overall operation of building infrastructure with a quick response to any system failures. Globally, companies are continuously focusing on a sustainable facility model to reduce their organization's carbon footprint.
According to the analysis, Europe accounts for the largest market share in 2019. With the presence of the largest number of technological innovators and market disruptors in this region, the adoption of smart facility management solutions is highest in Europe. Several companies in this region are focusing on improving the employee experience within the facility and thus improving productivity. Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate due to increasing construction activities, driving the growth of the smart facility management market, especially in India, China, Indonesia, and Australia.
The report also indicates that the key players in the market are adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies, i.e. mergers and acquisitions, collaborations and partnerships, joint ventures, and some other strategies to be in a strong position in the market.
