Smart Cities Market Dynamics and Trends
The smart cities market is driven by the increasing demand for public safety, growing government initiatives, and rising urban population. In smart cities, technologies such as DNA phenotyping, video surveillance, and real-time license plate and facial recognition are broadly used for public safety, indicating the necessity for surveillance to make sure the safety of citizens.
Rising need for public safety and communication infrastructure
Successful enactment of smart city projects primarily depends on telecommunications infrastructure and its usage for public safety. Every city needs to make sure that communication platforms are accessible and established to realize the model of smart cities in an open and resource-efficient manner. Entry to modern cities includes the basic infrastructure for data communication, which is the key component for every city seeking to become “smart.” For instance, mobile networks, fixed networks, and dedicated networks for IoT applications will be crucial for such cities.
Increasing environmental concerns and demand for green initiatives
Urbanized areas hold a huge portion of global energy consumption and are expected to release up to 80% GHG. The increasing usage of energy sources results in the rising amount of carbon emissions and energy dissipation, which urgently raises the demand for sustainable and efficient use of energy. Electricity generation reports for almost one-fourth of CO2 emissions globally. Increasing concerns over ozone depletion and global warming have accelerated the efforts of governments of developed and emerging nations to control their carbon footprint, with governments enforcing stricter regulations to limit emissions.
Huge initial investments
One of the major challenges associated with the growth of the smart cities market is project funding for huge initial CAPEX. It has come to be the national/local government’s major responsibility to invest in the transformation process of smart city infrastructure. It is easy to understand that governments possess the need, vision, and clarity for such transformations; however, the lack of budgetary allocations for large-scale implementations impedes the pace of the transformation process, either directly or indirectly. Such heavy investments could add to the economic burden of debt-ridden governments or local municipal authorities, which adversely affects future general budgets.
COVID-19 Impact on Smart Cities Market
Smart city technology providers have witnessed a steady adoption of solutions for several areas, such as smart transportation, smart buildings, smart citizen services, and smart citizen services. The necessity of innovative smart city solutions, which can be efficiently coupled with big data, IoT, cloud, security, analytics, and network connectivity, are on the rise across these application areas. The implementation of IoT in smart cities focus areas, such as smart city services and smart citizen services, is expected to increase the adoption of smart city solutions during the pandemic, as regulatory authorities of several countries are primarily focused on monitoring the safety, health, and living standard of their citizens. To cater to the need for coping IoT devices across various cities, smart city solution vendors need to improve the management capabilities of their solutions.
