  • As China's economy expands quickly, the building sector in that country is witnessing an unprecedented boom. This directly affects China's levels of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) brought on by energy usage in buildings. In October 2021, China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued national standards for energy conservation and renewable energy use in buildings to enhance the energy efficiency, promote renewable energy, and reduce carbon emissions of buildings. To assist decision-makers in developing building energy performance policy packages that can enhance the energy performance of new and existing buildings in China and restrain the rise of building-related CO2 emissions could boost the growth of the studied market.
  • Singapore is also at the forefront of forming favorable government initiatives to support the adoption of smart buildings. Coupled with its Smart Nation initiative, the government introduced the Green Mark Scheme with a target of 80% of buildings to be certified as green under this scheme by 2030. Such initiatives are likely to augment the demand for building energy management systems in the region.
  • The Asia Pacific region is also witnessing several innovations catering to efficient energy management for buildings through investments in R&D, collaborations, and mergers. For instance, in October 2022, Tata Power Trading Company announced that it signed an agreement with 75F Smart Innovations India to jointly promote building automation and energy-efficiency solutions in the commercial building space. 75F Smart Innovations is a prominent Internet of Things (IoT)-based building management system firm headquartered in Washington DC. TPTCL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Power, announced that it would collaborate with 75F Smart Innovations India to offer energy-efficiency solutions across industry verticals, including IT/information technology-enabled services (ITeS), banking financial services and insurance (BFSI), hospitality, health care, education, government, and retail.​
  • With the growth of technology, smart buildings are growing more and more complex, requiring quicker follow-up looks via retro-commissioning. Adding to that, the risks associated with sustained operational integrity are also mounting.​ Hence, the demand for comprehensive building energy management systems is expected to spike. It is very important to establish necessary communication between the system providers/designers and owners of the buildings, to understand the functioning of the building.​​ However, market growth is expected to be hindered due to a lack of competent experts skilled in assessing smart solution systems. Professionals operating in the field need to be aware of the design changes and installation in the context of future needs. Failing to do so may lead to complications.​
  • Moreover, the Covid-19 outbreak has hampered the growth of the building energy management system solution industry due to lockdown measures in the region and delays in the manufacturing and production of BEM products and solutions used in HVAC and non-HVAC applications. The pandemic has also heightened attention on resilience and how society and vital sectors, such as the energy supply, may improve their ability to withstand shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key Market TrendsThe Increase in Demand from the Residential Segment is Expected to Drive the Market
  • According to China Construction Industry Association, Residential buildings accounted for the largest share of completed construction in China in 2021. Buildings intended for housing accounted for over 67% of the finished floor space. As the country's economy grows, people migrate from rural areas to major cities, increasing demand for residential accommodation in these locations. Furthermore, apartments utilized as investment properties drive up demand. Such a large share of residential buildings would create an opportunity for the market players to develop new products to cater to a wide range of needs of customers.
  • Further, according to Housing & Development Board, In the fiscal year 2021/2022, the Housing Development Board in Singapore has 83 thousand residential units under construction. In comparison to the previous year, demand for HDB units had grown.
  • Innovative technologies often incentivized through prescriptive utility energy efficiency programs include advanced occupancy and vacancy controls that work with lighting and HVAC systems, daylighting controls, intelligent power strips, smart plugs, and BMS. The Government of India developed 'The Energy Conservation Building Code' (ECBC), which sets minimum energy performance standards for residents and includes the building envelope, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Hence, the growing adoption of smart lighting systems could help the country save energy.
  • To cater to the evolving needs of consumers, in April 2022, ABB and Samsung Electronics announced that they would collaborate in a global partnership to provide jointly developed technologies for energy management, energy savings, and the smart Internet of Things connection of residential and commercial buildings. As per the companies, buildings generate almost 40% of annual global CO2 emissions. The partnership would create a platform to build a long-term relationship for innovation on smart technology, smart control, and smart devices. The collaboration would enable Samsung and ABB to expand customer access to home automation technologies and better device management while facilitating electricity load shifting.
  • Building Energy Efficiency has become a global priority. In Australia, the National Construction Code now includes energy efficiency measures for all building classifications. The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) allocates a 0-6 star rating to a building's greenhouse performance and resource efficiency. All Government departments and many businesses are leading the push for more sustainable built environments by no longer taking residency in buildings under 4.5 stars.
Japan is Expected to Witness a High Market Growth
  • The rise in the number of construction orders in the region would create several opportunities for the growth of the studied market. For instance, according to MLIT (Japan), the value of orders for building works received by 50 major Japanese constructors in the fiscal year 2021 was around JPY 15.1 trillion (USD 0.11 trillion), marking a 1.5 % increase over fiscal 2020.
  • The region also boasts several laws and regulations regarding energy efficiency that are likely to boost the growth of the studied market.
