According to the latest research, the global Smart City market size was valued at USD 992643.62 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.25% during the forecast period, reaching USD 2208086.44 million by 2028.
Smart cities are described as cities that are designed and built using intelligent and smart technology and solutions. A smart city utilizes information and communications technologies (ICT) for improving the performance and quality of urban services, reducing consumption of resources and related costs, facilitating more active and efficient engagement with citizens, and enhancing the quality of life of citizens sustainably. ICT is the core of smart cities initiative since a knowledge infrastructure is critical for the implementation of a smart city.
The negative impact in the short term
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, countries have adopted strict lockdowns, closures, and movement restrictions to avoid the spread of the virus. The pandemic reduced manpower and Silicon Valley was almost completely closed during the crisis, affecting the government and other stakeholders to meet the needs of smart cities for strategic management and planning. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and its unprecedented global spread have brought many countries to a standstill. In addition, the social, economic, and psychological damage it causes to cities and communities is still an ongoing problem in many countries. As many countries and cities continue to work hard to recover from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, some short-term smart city development plans may be restricted. In the short term, it will have a negative impact on manufacturing and production, capital market investment and financing, etc. The increase in labor costs and the frustration of the capital market will bring greater risks to business operations.
Social Factors
Speeding up the process of urbanization
As per the “2019 World Urbanization Prospects” report published by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), the present urban population of 55.7% is anticipated to increase to 68.4% in 2050, globally. The need for sustainable infrastructure due to increasing population and urbanization has become a prime driver for market growth. Governments worldwide are trying to tackle these problems pertaining to the growing population and rapid urbanization through smart city initiatives across functional segments such as utility management, mobility, and safety. Moreover, factors such as an increase in traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions are resulting in the adoption of smart mobility and efficient energy management applications. This is also expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Environmental Factors
Sustainability issues get attention
The reduction in energy consumption and concerns about the spread of environmental waste are one of the driving factors for the adoption of smart city solutions. Increasing attention to global warming and ozone depletion has accelerated the efforts of governments in developed and developing countries to control carbon footprints, and governments have implemented stricter regulations to limit emissions. The implementation of smart infrastructure automation, smart grids, and control systems greatly help reduce power consumption and carbon emissions, thereby minimizing losses and optimizing operations
