Consumer IoT, IP-based Devices, SaaS, and Other Technological Developments Bolster Middle East & Africa Building Automation System Market

IoT, machine intelligence, and new networking capabilities play important roles in advancing building automation systems. Advanced fault detection and diagnostics, energy analytics, and grid integration are crucial aspects as building owners and facility managers prioritize increased energy efficiency and cost savings. The demand for consumer IoT-based devices, such as smart alarms, home appliances, security systems, and thermostats, is increasing worldwide. These devices will also help building owners and occupants gain extensive data on temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality, as well as greater control over indoor settings, particularly in HVAC systems in commercial buildings. In addition, the integration of IP-based devices to the building network in modern building automation systems (BAS) can provide increased scalability without the need to connect more fiber or Cat6 cables or reprogram individual devices to free up IP address ranges. Further, integrating IP-based devices in BAS can help eliminate operational challenges such as expensive reprogramming, incompatibility of devices and automation systems, and the time-intensive process of laying cables.

The growing adoption of cloud-hosted BAS is raising the demand for software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. This shift to SaaS-based solutions reduces operating expenses because building owners no longer need to maintain expensive software or manage application-specific programmers. With SaaS-based solutions, the owner can easily forecast their monthly operating budget without having to commit to a long-term service agreement. Simple integration of new building equipment, feature deployment, and cloud-hosted automatic upgrades are achieved through the cloud-hosted, SaaS-based BAS platform. SaaS-based BAS solutions also provide contractors with remote access and control, so they do not have to visit the site. Thus, the growing adoption of advanced technologies such as consumer IoT, IP-based devices, and SaaS is expected to facilitate the expansion of the building automation system market during the forecast period.
