Navigant Research Report Finds Global Annual Revenue Associated with Edge IoT Spend in Commercial Buildings Is Expected to Near $8 Billion in 2027

A new report from Navigant
Research analyzes the edge computing market for the Internet of
Things (IoT) in buildings, providing global market forecasts through
2027.

Edge computing distributes the power of data processing to the fringes
of a system, giving devices, sensors, and gateways the power to act or
make decisions locally and not always rely on a cloud environment. This
approach aligns well with commercial building efficiency goals since
computing at the edge can in some cases handle data processes locally as
well or better than sending the data to a cloud—and do so at lower cost. Click
to tweet: According to a new report from @NavigantRSRCH,
global revenue associated with edge IoT spend in commercial buildings is
expected to grow from more than $3 billion in 2018 to $7.8 billion in
2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%.

“In the commercial buildings sector, stakeholders are beginning to adopt
edge computing technology to help create more intelligent and efficient
facilities,” says Neil Strother, principal research analyst at Navigant
Research. “Edge computing also fits with the IoT technology trend, which
some buildings are adopting in the form of smart meters, smart
thermostats, occupancy sensors, and advanced lighting systems.”

According to the report, when IoT technologies such as these integrate
with edge computing power, the combination can yield positive benefits
for a building. For instance, a well-designed HVAC system that leverages
an edge IoT infrastructure could produce significant savings through its
ability to react quickly to subtle changes in air temperature or
occupancy levels and intelligently make automated adjustments at the
optimal time.

The report, Edge
Computing for IoT in Buildings, analyzes the global market for
edge computing for IoT in buildings, with a focus on hardware, software,
and services. The study examines use cases and provides case studies
highlighting edge and IoT solutions for commercial buildings. Global
market forecasts, segmented by offering type, building type, and region,
extend through 2027. The report also analyzes market issues, including
key drivers and barriers and regional trends for edge IoT solutions in
commercial buildings. An Executive Summary of the report is available
