Smart spaces refer to facilities or public areas equipped with sensors to collect data, providing insights into the environment, services, and interactions of occupants with their surroundings. These insights, obtained in real-time or from historical data, can be utilized to enhance safety, operations, and the overall user experience. Smart spaces are instrumental in collecting data and generating insights about environmental conditions.
The primary types of smart space components include hardware, software, and services. Software encompasses a set of programs, procedures, and routines related to the operation of a computer system, facilitating a range of activities in and around the building through mobile devices. Different types of smart spaces include smart indoor spaces and smart outdoor spaces, utilized across various industries such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), retail and e-commerce, government, media and entertainment, food and beverages, healthcare, automotive, and others. Various applications of smart spaces include energy management and optimization, layout and space management, emergency and disaster management, security management, and more.

The smart space market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $20.59 billion in 2024 to $22.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to wireless connectivity advances, automation and efficiency, urbanization and smart cities, occupancy analytics for space optimization, smart infrastructure investments.
The smart space market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to enhanced cybersecurity measures, health and safety prioritization, human-centric design, smart retail innovations, economic incentives and policies, data privacy and ethical considerations. Major trends in the forecast period include sensor proliferation for environmental monitoring, smart lighting systems for energy efficiency, smart cities and urban planning, edge computing for real-time processing, collaboration spaces in smart offices, smart retail spaces and customer engagement, blockchain for security and trust.
The growth of the smart space market is expected to be fueled by green building initiatives and environmental concerns. Sustainable or green buildings, designed to maintain or enhance the local environment's quality of life, integrate smart technology throughout the system to improve building performance and functionality. These technologies not only store data but also analyze it, providing relevant results. For instance, the green building market in India is projected to double by 2022, reaching 10 billion square feet with a value of USD 35-50 billion, according to Financial Express. Thus, the impetus from green building initiatives and environmental concerns is steering the growth of the smart space market.
The smart space market is anticipated to grow further due to the increase in urbanization. Urbanization, characterized by a rising population concentration in urban areas, poses challenges in efficiently managing resources, infrastructure, and services. Smart spaces, leveraging technologies such as IoT sensors, data analytics, and automation, contribute to enhancing the quality of life for urban residents. They optimize resource usage and improve sustainability, offering solutions for transportation systems, energy efficiency, waste management, public safety, and urban planning. According to DataReportal, as of October 2022, 5.07 billion people worldwide used the internet, equivalent to 63. 5% of the global population. The increase in urbanization is a driving force behind the growth of the smart space market.
Major companies in the smart space market are leveraging IoT technology. The incorporation of IoT in smart spaces facilitates real-time data collection and analysis, optimizing and automating processes, improving user experiences, and enhancing resource management in diverse environments such as homes, offices, and cities. For example, in September 2023, Vantiva SA launched Vantiva Smart Storage, an end-to-end IoT SaaS solution transforming self-storage facilities into smart spaces. The technology aims to boost productivity, open up new revenue opportunities, and provide a risk-free investment with a predictable return on investment.
Major companies in the smart space market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to expand their operations. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For example, in July 2024, UL Solutions, a US-based applied safety science organization, formed a partnership with Siemens AG, a Germany-based provider of smart building technologies. This collaboration centers around the SPIRE qualification program, which aims to improve access to expert resources and assist the smart building industry in meeting the increasing demand for building assessments. Under the SPIRE qualification program, Siemens assessors will perform SPIRE Smart Building Assessments and submit their results for independent review by UL Solutions. If a building meets the established criteria, UL Solutions will grant a UL Verified Mark and a SPIRE Smart Building Rating, signifying that the building has attained UL Marketing Claim Verification. To qualify as assessors, Siemens candidates must meet all requirements and complete training with UL Solutions.
In January 2022, Planon, a Netherlands-based smart building management software company, acquired COOR GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition provides Planon customers with best-in-class opportunities to address real estate challenges throughout the building lifecycle and at various levels of maturity and complexity. COOR GmbH, an Austria-based company specializing in IoT-based smart spaces for indoor environments and office spaces, complements Planon's capabilities.
