A building automation system (BAS) controls and monitors various building systems, such as lighting, video security, HVAC, etc. It helps to optimize the performance and usage of energy consumption, and thus reduce the cost of operation of building. The global building automation system market is accounted for USD 84.2 billion in 2023 and estimated to reach USD 200.6 billion, growing at a CAGR of 13.2% from 2024 to 2030.

The growth of this market is attributed to growing emphasis on sustainability from the government and private sector. However, technical challenges of integrating automation solutions and availability of skilled professionals are the major restraining factor for the market growth. Contrarily, the increasing growth of 5G and emphasis on renewable energy are expected to offer several growth opportunities to the market stakeholders. Conversely, lack of network standards may challenge the market growth in the coming years.

IoT Driving the Market Growth

IoT-powered building automation is offering several benefits for the eco-friendly operation of building. IoT plays a significant role in building automation by offering improved efficiency, reduction ion operational cost, and optimized usage of energy. It also allows more streamlined, seamless and integrated management of building automation. IoT enables single networking of various devices and systems of the building that can be controlled & monitored remotely.

IoT-connected sensors and devices in BAS allow for remote monitoring and control of building systems. Facility managers can access real-time data and control building functions remotely, providing greater flexibility and efficiency in managing building operations.

IoT devices generate vast amounts of data related to building operations, occupancy patterns, energy usage, and environmental conditions. This data can be leveraged through analytics to gain insights into building performance. BAS, integrated with IoT, enables data-driven decision-making for optimizing energy efficiency, predictive maintenance, and overall building management. A data gathered from IoT sensors can be utilized for predictive maintenance before the failure of any critical equipment or system used in building. Thereby, nullifying the probability of break-down or down-time. Thus, it helps to improve the productivity of businesses present in the building.

The implementation of IoT-driven BAS can lead to significant cost savings over time. Improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs through predictive maintenance, and optimized operations contribute to a positive return on investment (ROI) for building owners and operators.

The convergence of IoT with building automation systems enhances the capabilities of BAS, making buildings smarter, more efficient, and user-friendly. As the demand for smart and connected buildings continues to rise, driven by the benefits of IoT, the market for building automation systems is expected to experience sustained growth.
