International. A report by the consultancy IDC indicates that investment in smart buildings will present a year-on-year increase of more than 22% until 2019.
According to the study, the smart building market would reach $17.4 billion through the year in question, which means the increase will be noticeable compared to the turnover of $6.3 billion in 2014.
North America, Europe and Asia Pacific will be the regions where the increase in this type of space is most evident, which is forecast to be dominated more by commercial buildings than private ones, due to the interest of companies in reducing their energy consumption and achieving better operational efficiency.
