The Future of Smart Cities Is a Bright One: Smart City Market 2016-2020

Smart cities, birthed from a combination of both necessity and innovation, have come a long way since their initial conception. Proponents of the smart city vision see smart cities as well-oiled, multi-component machines that successfully manage a city’s assets across all industries through the use of technology. The ultimate goal of the smart city is to improve the quality of life for every single resident, from corporate workers to school children. The demand for smart cities is fuelled by a number of factors, which include climate change, population growth, the need for energy conservation, and economic / financial pressures. In many ways, smart cities are still in the early development phase; with that said, where are smart cities headed, and what can we expect to see from them in the next few years?

One of the biggest challenges with smart cities is having the right people and strategies behind them. Big data is making its way into smart cities, and this is only just the beginning. It is no surprise that the Internet of Things of things will play an important role in smart city development on a number of levels.

Overview of the global smart city market
Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global smart city market will grow steadily and post a CAGR of almost 20% by 2020. Increasing installation of smart meters will be one of the key factors attributing to the growth of the global smart city market during the forecast period. Smart meters can be integrated with an in-home display (IHD) to provide instantaneous information on gas and electricity usage in a household. It will help the consumers to monitor and control all energy devices through energy management systems (EMS) and provide a range of interactive and intelligent solutions. Technological advancements will enable smart meters to amalgamate with smart grids, which will help in energy management, reduce operational costs, and provide energy efficient solutions. Furthermore, the implementation of smart meters will permit smart homes to use cutting-edge technologies like programmable thermostats, occupation detectors and motion sensors, solar-powered products, and zone-based thermostats to conserve energy and promote a reduction in the carbon footprint. The implementation of such energy-efficient systems will help in environmental sustainability and result in the positive growth of the smart city market over the predicted period.

One of the recent trends observed in the market is the presence of strategic alliances between telecommunications operators, hardware and software providers, and analytics software providers. The integration of cloud-based IoT and mobile technology will help in the growth of the mHealth market, which is one of the major segments of smart city infrastructure. The extensive use of mobile devices in the healthcare sector to collect clinical and community health data, real-time patient monitoring, and health information delivery will aid in the development of medical services. Furthermore, the introduction of smart wearables will assist in monitoring blood pressure, sugar content, heart and pulse rate, and calorie content in the body. Such innovations in the healthcare sector will propel the growth of the overall market over the period of next four years.
