Analysts’ Viewpoint on Market Scenario

Increasing burden on urban infrastructure has compelled the government to implement smart ways to develop public infrastructure. Energy, water, waste, and transportation are the major areas of focus, as the management of these utilities fulfills the necessities of people. Innovation in smart city solutions has increased owing to advancements in artificial intelligence, Internet of things, big data, cloud technologies, and connected sensors networks. Therefore, several key players have developed unique solutions in order to grab business growth opportunities, which in turn has made the market more competitive.

The smart city technologies industry in India is huge and highly fragmented, with the presence of numerous players from various industries. Increased penetration of technology and rise in disposable income in India are anticipated to boost the standard of living of people in the country and consequently, aid the smart city market growth in India.

India Smart City Market

Market Overview

The term ‘smart city’ originally referred to programs that use digital and ICT-based innovation to boost the effectiveness of urban services and create new business opportunities. According to the United Nations, 'smart city makes use of opportunities from digitalization, clean energy, and technologies as well as innovative transport technologies, thus providing options for inhabitants to make more environment-friendly choices, boost sustainable economic growth, and enable cities to improve their service delivery’. Smart infrastructure refers to the use of technology and data to create more efficient and effective systems in order to manage transportation, energy, water, waste, and other key areas of infrastructure.

Every city has distinct qualities in terms of its size, environment, financial resources, and several other features. These differences influence the ability of cities to manage smart technologies and attract smart city investment. The various distinctions in the physical characteristics of a city also impacts the level of applicability of particular digital technologies.

Increase in Government Focus on Smart Cities

The Government of India has been encouraging institutional and organizational changes, facilitating steady investment, and establishing a consortium for combining various businesses. Rise in focus on smart city is also responsible for a specific development―the formation of a new genre of public-private partnerships. Furthermore, finance and funding methods for infrastructure development as well as governance frameworks are significantly fueling the smart city market scope.

Investment is likely to be the biggest driver of growth, driven primarily by government capital spending, while the private sector may take some time to catch up to the pace of investment. One of the key global smart city market trends is the increased emphasis on smart infrastructure by governments worldwide. This is because technology helps better manage infrastructure systems, thereby enabling governments to reduce waste, optimize resource use, and streamline operations. This, in turn, can lead to significant cost savings over time, as well as increased productivity and economic growth.

Governments can create more efficient, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure systems by leveraging the power of technology and data. These systems can help improve quality of life and support economic growth for years to come.

Rise in Urban Population to Fuel Smart City Market Value

India is one of the most populous countries in the world. Since 1950, the number of Indians living in cities has grown nearly eightfold, from 62 million to 482 million, while the overall urbanization rate has doubled from 17.3% to 35%. Urban areas in India are expected to accommodate 40% of India's population and contribute to around 75% of India's GDP by the year 2030.

Population growth is expected to continue until just before 2050, and an ongoing evolution away from the agriculture sector and towards manufacturing and services would coincide with this growth, pulling a larger share of the population into cities.

The smart city attracts more talented people, who are drawn to the safer, happier environment. This rise in population leads to increased GDP and overall economic growth. These trends are accompanied by an unprecedented increase in demand for water, land, building materials, food, pollution control measures and waste management.

Cities are therefore under constant pressure to provide better quality services, promote local economic competitiveness, improve services delivery, increase efficiency and reduce costs, increase effectiveness and productivity and address congestion and environmental issues. Such pressures are motivating cities to turn to smart solutions and experiment with various smart infrastructure applications.

Surge in Investment in Energy and Transportation Solutions

Smart solutions need considerable investment to cater to the needs of urbanization and address urban issues such as transportation and traffic management, smart parking and smart transportation solutions, water supply, safety and surveillance, power distribution and lighting, e-governance, and waste management.

Energy and transportation solutions require greater investment than other solutions owing to the increasing burden on available infrastructure. Consequently, adopting smart solutions optimizes resources and makes the urban space more livable.

Development of smart cities relies heavily on smart energy chains, which are a sustainable response to the rising need for energy. This energy driven transaction model is a digital solution that is likely to boost the India smart city market forecast in the upcoming years.

Key Developments in Smart City Industry in India

  • In June 2022, NEC Corporation India (NEC India), a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan-based NEC Corporation, announced that it had entered into an agreement with Silvassa Smart City Limited for the implementation of a smart city Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) project. An Integrated Command and Control Centre, which would bring civic amenities under a unified platform, would be accessible to residents of Silvassa through a mobile application. As a way to further enhance ease of operations within the city, NEC India is also expected to establish a ​​Data Centre with capabilities of Data Recovery on the Cloud.
  • In October 2021, Honeywell won a bid for Bengaluru Safe City project valued at Rs 496 crores (~ US$ 60 Mn). Honeywell is expected to create an integrated Command & Control Center to manage a state-of-the-art video system with more than 7,000 cameras deployed at more than 3,000 locations across Bengaluru to make it one of the top 10 smart cities globally. Honeywell claims that its smart city systems in Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat already connect more than 100,000 IoT sensors and touch the lives of more than 100 million people.
  • In 2021, Itron and Yokogawa Electric Corporation deployed Itron’s Water Operations Management solution in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, India. This is anticipated to help monitor and reduce water loss in the city’s water transmission network.
