Analyst Opinion

As the world population continues to grow, cities are especially becoming more crowded and in need of more efficient infrastructure and service offerings. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are improving efficiency, sustainability and livability.

Environmental concerns have been gaining traction in recent years and the citizens are demanding sustainable solutions. Smart energy systems and waste management solutions are adopting IoT technologies and benefiting from the data collected via the connected devices. Smart grids are especially important in increasing reliability and security in the times of outages, security threats and other unexpected occurrences. IoT sensors are used in smart waste management to monitor the garbage cans and optimize waste collection schedules and reduce litter.

The Smart Cities market is expected to continue seeing a fast growth, as governments are seeing the potential they can bring for both sustainable and economic growth. China has made “Smart Cities Development Plan” part of their Made in China 2025, while Germany invested over EUR 1 billion for development and investment of urban technologies.
