Global Smart Cities Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2022-2030: Focus on Smart Utilities, Governance, Building, Transportation - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Smart Cities Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Application (Smart Utilities, Smart Governance, Smart Building, Smart Transportation), by Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2022-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global smart cities market size is expected to reach USD 6,965.02 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 24.2%

The concept of smart cities is gaining popularity due to rapid urbanization and favorable government initiatives worldwide. Therefore, with growing urbanization, the need to manage infrastructure and assets is prompting countries across the world to invest in smart city projects.

Furthermore, the increasing investment in sustainable and green technologies has further contributed to the adoption of these technologies by smart cities around the world.

Additionally, the growing adoption of electric vehicles has also created a demand for the development of advanced charging infrastructure in cities worldwide. Integrating electric vehicles in smart cities may create such benefits by providing energy storage and creating new revenue streams from electric vehicles batteries. Moreover, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to pave the way to green mobility with zero carbon emissions.

The market is currently witnessing high investment for smart security, smart metering for water and utilities, smart mobility, and integrated traffic management systems.

Most technologically advanced cities use IoT platforms to monitor city infrastructure, manage everything from traffic flows and parking to water and air quality, and use the resulting smart data generated to handle longer-term decisions around environmental sustainability. The increase in traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions is driving the adoption of smart mobility and efficient energy management applications.

The market covers several sectors such as transport, water, healthcare, assisted living, energy, and security. The cost incurred in the transformation of the existing infrastructure acts as a deterrent for governments to continue large-scale investments to establish different sectors and departments for efficient smart city implementation which may hinder the market growth.

The lack of awareness among people is also a major factor for the slow development of smart cities, as it causes ignorance about smart city projects and lowers the level of impulsion by the government to implement smart solutions for cities.

However, investing in smart cities will lead to improving the regional and global competitiveness to attract new residents and improve business and allow the government bodies to make informed decisions with the available technologies, which can lead to economic development.
