Rapid urbanization has congested landscapes and created problems such as high energy consumption, climate change, water capacity issues, and other socioeconomic challenges. According to the United Nations (UN), the global urban population was 54% in 2015, and this figure is expected to rise to 66% by 2050. This rapid rate of urbanization will deplete available resources. As a result, developed and emerging economies focus on smart city projects to implement new technologies that ensure optimal resource utilization. As a result, these factors are expected to fuel market growth in the near future.
According to Data Bridge Market Research the Smart Cities Market accounted for USD 390.13 billion in 2021, and expected to reach USD 1874.83 billion by 2029. The market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 21.68% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
“Increasing Investment in Smart City Designs Facilitate Market Growth”
Increased investment in smart city designs is one of the encouraging factors driving smart city market growth. Certain plans are leading the way in developing countries, where governments are investing billions of dollars in smart city designs because everything will be combined in these smart cities, and garbage collection will benefit certain regions with the use of smart cities. Furthermore, lowering the cost of internet of things (IoT) sensors is a key driver of growth in the smart cities syndicate. Consumption administration companies are taking this very seriously, as sensors will be installed in data visualization programmes and screening support, allowing for more comfortable garbage collection.
What restraints the growth of Smart Cities Market?
“Integration of new technologies within existing infrastructure is expected to restrain growth of the global smart cities market”
The incorporation of new technologies within existing infrastructure may pose significant challenges to market growth. Because existing infrastructure may not support new technologies, old infrastructure must be replaced with new and advanced infrastructure, increasing investment. Furthermore, innovations and technologies include high-risk investments and unsecured ROI, limiting the global smart cities market's growth.
“Growing susceptibility to cybercrimes and privacy violations”
Cybercrime is a major threat posed by interconnected devices. They will all be linked via IoT. In such cases, a simple software bug can cause significant damage and jeopardise the security of numerous systems because all components of smart city infrastructure use IoT and smart applications, security devices, and transit systems. Furthermore, increased digitization has resulted in data storage on the cloud. This data may include a person's record of daily activities such as payments, geographical location, and health records, which are accessible at any time. Digital systems can be hacked, resulting in the loss of private information, whereas data analytics can combine data sets to gather information about an individual's lifestyle and habits or behaviors. As a result, these elements are expected to hinder the market growth.
