Smart City Platforms Market Analysis
The Smart City Platform Market size is estimated at USD 42.01 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 192.22 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 35.55% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 pandemic heightened the need to invest in connectivity infrastructure and solutions that alleviate public health and safety concerns. The demand for safe and secure transport and connected applications rose to make systems safer by providing real-time warnings about crowding, access problems, or delays to help people make better informed public travel decisions.
- Smart cities are growing globally due to urbanization, which is enabling market growth. According to projections by the United Nations, in India, 404 million, China, 292 million, and Nigeria, 212 million urban dwellers are expected to be added to the existing populations by 2050.
- The government initiatives and spending are also giving much more significance to platform providers than standalone smart solutions because of the scalability and integration of other smart solutions. For instance, as of January 2022, the Indian government has released INR 28,413.6 crore for 100 smart cities.
- Smart city platforms perform various functions, such as analytics, remote asset monitoring, performance management, decision support, or presentation components. Most technologically advanced cities use the Internet of Things platform to monitor city infrastructure, manage traffic flows and parking to water and air quality, and use the resulting smart data to tackle longer-term planning decisions around environmental sustainability.
- The smart city platforms offer a foundation for urban infrastructure, applications, services, and various city-specific functions. One of the significant factors expected to drive the market's growth in cities is giving priority to platform providers compared to standalone smart solutions because of the scalability and integration of other smart solutions.
- As smart city projects across the world have grown and have taken up the pace, the primary vision, the technologies, and the realities on the ground level have become layered and more complex to deal with. Furthermore, to simplify these complexities, the market will witness a strong drive toward the usage of more intuitive processes, which includes the increased adoption of machine learning solutions to gather and analyze the huge amount of generated data.
