Building automation system market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period. The growing adoption of building automation systems across the globe is a key factor driving the growth of the global building automation system market. Building automation systems exhibit functions such as control of the building's environment and operating systems and monitoring the system performance, based on which the systems produce sound alerts as required. It centrally controls the building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, lighting, shading, access control, security systems, and other interrelated systems. The growing demand for air conditioners across the globe due to the rising temperatures during summer has further created demand for the building automation systems market. There are mounting concerns in the Asia-Pacific region, where air-conditioning systems are becoming more prevalent, affordable, and essential than ever before.

Segmental Outlook

The global building automation system market is segmented based on components and end-user. Based on components, the market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. Based on end-user industry, the market is segmented into residential, commercial, and industrial.

Building Automation Software segment to Exhibit Highest Growth 

The increasing number of software applications in building automation is a key factor driving the growth of this market segment. New software launches are contributing to the growth of this market segment. For instance, in June 2022, Siemens Smart Infrastructure launched Building X, a new smart building suite that is open, interoperable, and fully cloud based. The suite is the first next generation offering built on the design principles of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital Smart Building Suite business platform to accelerate digital transformation and value creation across industry, transportation, grids, and buildings.

Regional Outlook

The global building automation system market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). Among these, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing region owing to the growing adoption of smart buildings in emerging economies such as India & China. Government initiatives, such as smart city projects, have further strengthened the place of the region in the building automation system market. 

In August 2022, KT, South Korea's largest telecommunications company, plans to launch a suite of smart building services in cooperation with its subsidiary, KT Estate. The new ICT-based integrated service consists of "Smart Building Sensing" and "Smart Building BEMS". Currently, public buildings with a floor space of 10,000 square meters or more are required to set up a BEMS. The regulation is scheduled to be extended in 2025 to private buildings with a floor space of 1,000 square meters or more and public buildings with a floor space of 500 square meters or more. Such regulations that promote the adoption of building automation systems across the region are further contributing to the regional market growth.

Global Building Automation System Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030

The North American region held a Considerable Share in the Global Building Automation System Market 

North America held a considerable share of the global building automation system market. The high adoption rate of smart technologies, and the presence of wide and maintained IT infrastructure are the key contributors to the high share of the regional market. Companies are introducing sustainable technologies to improve the building ecosystem in the region.
