Report Highlights
- The report projects that the combined global market for the Internet of Things in Buildings (BIoT) will grow significantly over the forecast period, rising from $23.5Bn in 2015 to $75.5Bn by 2021, at a CAGR of 20.7%. Growth in data volumes generated by the IoT will still drive significant investments; as organisations struggle to maintain the network capacity and bandwidth requirements to effectively transmit all this new data.
- We see the market for Connectivity Services and Related Hardware growing from a 2015 value of $8.8Bn to over $18.4Bn by 2021, a CAGR of 13.1%. while will see the Enablement Hardware segment's value grow from $6.8Bn in 2015, to $15.5Bn in 2021, which represents a CAGR of 14.7%.
- The Professional Value Add Services market is projected to grow at a rapid 20.7% CAGR from only $3.1Bn in 2015 to $9.6Bn by 2021. And finally, the Big Data and Cloud Based Software & Services market was valued at nearly $8Bn by the end of 2015 and is projected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 26.3% CAGR to $32Bn by 2021.
- We monitored a total of 597 different deals of different types from 2010 to the end of 2015. Over 63% of these deals (379) were venture capital investments, but we also picked up details of over 200 acquisitions, 4 mergers, 3 IPOs and 2 management buyouts, all of which indicates there is also a thriving demand for both new innovation and expansion via M&A in the BIoT space.
