Description

The Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) is an exciting market in North America that is poised for healthy growth for the next 5 years. BEMS is primarily driven by the trend of high peak demand charges, customers’ commitment towards sustainability, and state incentives for buildings installed with energy management systems. The market will be characterized by increased connectivity, bringing deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, data analytics, cloud solutions, and technology-enabled business model innovation. New entrants and emerging participants will change the market dynamics by adopting customer-centric business models. The building energy management systems (BEMS) market has witnessed a healthy growth rate in 2016 and has earned revenue of $822.8 million having grown by 5.1% from 2015. Frost & Sullivan has segmented the market based on solutions offered by participants such as hardware, software and services, and also based on end-user verticals such as industrial, office, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, government, and utilities. We have also mapped the impact of key trends—such as IoT, data analytics, cloud, Big Data, new business models, remote services, open source platform, software embedded controllers, and edge analytics—on the BEMS market.
