Strong growth in the BAS market is being driven by the need to increase energy effectiveness and savings through the implementation of green and sustainable actions. These functions are associated with legislation such as the Energy Policy Law 2005 and the Energy Independence and Protection Law of 2007, which impose certain energy efficiency standards on buildings. Increasing electricity consumption has allowed consumers to opt for more energy-efficient solutions. The use of electricity in the U.S. rose by 1.5% from 2010 to 2018, according to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Several end-user industries are adopting ways to conserve energy. Some of the approaches include smart lighting systems that can be operated by using a smartphone and provide very convenient accessibility. Smart lighting systems not only increase energy conservation by using smart meters but can also transform any office or home to a high-tech one that is connected to the IoT.

Socio-economic trends, including rapid population growth, increasing middle-class populations, and growing urbanization in India and other countries in South Asia are expected to encourage development in the building automation system market. Increasing disposable income and rising spending per capita in this part of the region are the key drivers that are expected to boost the sales of goods and solutions for building automation systems, which are expected to boost the demand for these systems. Growing disposable incomes in these countries is expected to provide significant growth opportunities during the forecast period to the build automation system market.

The BAS market in the Asia Pacific is estimated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Growth of the market is attributed to the rapid expansion of the construction sector in developing countries such as China and India and increasing implementations of government policies to promote the use of building automation system. Smart cities have been developed in countries such as China and India. Building automation systems serve as a central facilitator in the respective countries’ achievement of these objectives. Significant growth of the market in North America is owing to the use of building automation systems for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes to increase energy-efficiency. Implementation of strict primary federal policy guidelines and greenhouse gas emission regulations, increasing energy costs, and rising awareness about the benefits of automation are important drivers of the Market in the region. The global trend for financial and environmental gains within the rest of the world is the main factor for growth of the BAS market. The market is heavily dependent on the attitude towards the greener side of the built environment and its facilities inside each country.

Market Dynamics
The market is driven by factors such as rising demand for energy-efficient BASs, growing focus on for reducing energy costs, prevention of accident and mishaps due to unexpected breakdowns etc.

BAS Makes the buildings environmentally friendly
BASs help optimize HVAC and lighting systems, saving 5% to 30% of the building's total energy consumption. The HVAC also emits significant amount of CO2. According to the US Energy Information Administration, in 2017, the construction sector in the US accounted for 40% of the total energy consumption in the world, 38% of CO2 emissions, and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions.

BAS maximizes energy use and reduce energy costs
Increasing awareness regarding energy conservation and rising focus on reducing the energy use and maintenance costs of buildings are fueling the demand for BAS. The system plays a significant role in maximizing energy use and reducing energy costs. HVACs and BASs are major consumers of energy. Air heating and cooling together with water heating currently account for around 60% of global energy consumption in houses, according to International Energy Agency (IEA).

Prevention of accident and mishaps due to unexpected breakdowns
BASs help reduce the overall cost of building maintenance by providing, if any, early diagnosis to building managers of operational issues in the equipment. This helps prevent accidents and mishaps due to unexpected breakdowns. Technological advancements in the BAS are increasing their efficiency. The rise in automated security systems in buildings, provides a bridge to this market to grow.

Inaccurate idea about integration costing of BAS
BAS aims at saving resources and high operational and maintenance costs. However, end-users and building owners are hesitating to adopt BAS due to their misguided belief that these systems have high installation costs.

Favorable initiatives by governments
Several authorities play a significant role in energy savings and promote CO2 reduction measures. Numerous governments have enacted legislation and policies to improve energy efficiency to reduce the footprint of a building.

Segmental Outlook

Based on types, the building automation system market has bifurcated into wired technology and wireless technology. The wired technology segment is estimated to hold a large share of the market during the forecast period however wireless technology segment is expected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast, 11.2% owing to increasing focus on wireless building automation system and connective solutions.
