Based on the product, the HVAC systems are dominating the global market for commercial building automation. Based on the region, North America dominated the global market for commercial building automation followed by Europe. However, the Asia Pacific is projected to expand with higher CAGR over the forecast period owing to the growing demand for commercial building automation.
Growing Construction to Fuel Growth of the Market
The global commercial building automation market is gaining traction due to surging demand for energy-conservative processes coupled with the growing need of lowering operating costs mainly for constructing the government buildings. Additionally, numerous governments are taking initiatives for constructing the buildings with green materials which are fuelling growth of the global commercial building automation market.
Furthermore, growing adoption of building and automation from the construction of small and medium-sized buildings are propelling growth of the global commercial building automation market. These automation systems improve comfort level and satisfaction primarily for the consumers who are preferring the environmentally-friendly products. Moreover, the construction industry is widening globally and especially in the developing regions such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. This growth is propelling growth of the global commercial building automation market.
Growing Government Initiatives to Propel Growth
Increasing concern over the decreasing sources of fuel and growing awareness and concern over environmental protection is leading to imposing stringent regulations. Thanks to these regulations, the consumers are using the environmentally-friendly products and adopting the building automation which is another factor fuelling growth of the global commercial building automation market.
Despite these growth prospects, high cost of installation, operation, and maintenance are limiting adoption of commercial building automation. Also, higher initial investment is limiting new players to enter in the market which are expected to hamper growth of the global commercial building automation market. Nonetheless, growing application of building automation in the security and surveillance is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for growth over the forecast period.
