Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5sffcc/global_smart) has announced the addition of the "Global Smart Building Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.

The adoption of the PPP model has led to the involvement of OEMs, service providers, and ISPs such as ABB, GE, Toshiba, Accenture, SAP, and Microsoft in the global market. For example, Cisco, IBM, 3M, GE, Honeywell, Otis, EMC, KPMG, Louis Berger, and Timken have formed a consortium to partner with India for building smart cities including smart buildings. Moreover, a number of start-ups such as US based Project Frog, BuildingIQ among others are venturing into the market. These start-ups either collaborate with private or public players to increase their business opportunities.

According to the report, increase in urbanization is creating social and environmental challenges such as water shortages, power deficits, pollution, and inadequate waste water and sewage treatment capacity among others. To combat these challenges posed by urbanization, governments of both emerging and developed economies are focusing on smart buildings concept which provide the best integrated solutions to all these problems. The global smart building market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 11.90% over the period 2014-2019.

High initial costs are a barrier for the development of smart buildings in most developing countries, discouraging private construction companies from investing in the smart building market.
