A recent publication titled ‘Global Building Energy Management Solutions Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018′ reveals that in the global building energy management solutions (BEMS) market, North America accounts for the majority of the demand due to various policy initiatives taken by the governments coupled with growing number of smart buildings in the region.
However, the BEMS market in APAC and South America regions is expected to grow faster compared to other regions in coming years. In commercial segment, the energy management solutions market is largely being driven by the growing demand for these solutions in enterprises/offices and retail applications on account of rapid urbanisation, construction of new buildings, increasing IT spending, increasing adoption of energy efficient solutions, etc. Further, growth in the hospitality and educational buildings is also contributing to the overall market of building energy management solutions.
Emerging Markets Poised for Growth
Asia-Pacific and South American regions are rapidly advancing in building energy management. While North America and Europe still lead, energy costs keep rising globally. As a result, climate concerns and urban expansion push developing countries to act. Governments in China, India, Brazil, and Chile have introduced new policies and green incentives.
Therefore, commercial buildings, schools, and factories in these regions are adopting smart energy tech. They’re working to save money and meet environmental standards. Even better, clean energy investment and modern infrastructure projects drive faster adoption. Over the next few years, demand will surge as nations update outdated buildings and embrace sustainability goals.
Global Market for Building Energy Management Solutions Set to Surge
Global revenues for building energy management solutions are on a steep rise. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 19% from 2013 to 2018. Aggressive government policies in North America and Europe lead the way. These regions offer regulatory support, financial incentives, and green certification programs.
At the same time, technologies like rooftop solar, wind power, and high-efficiency building materials are reshaping the landscape. Companies now focus on new buildings over retrofits. New construction makes integration easier and boosts long-term savings. Because of this shift, the industry is aligning more closely with global sustainability targets.
Conclusion: A Greener Built Environment Takes Shape
This global trend shows that both developed and emerging economies see energy management as essential. While government policies ignite initial interest, innovation and market demand fuel long-term momentum. As more buildings adopt smart solutions, they cut emissions and operational costs at the same time.
Consequently, energy management systems are no longer optional—they’re critical tools for a low-carbon future. The shift toward efficient, intelligent, and eco-friendly buildings is well underway. Those who invest now will lead in a marketplace that prioritizes resilience, performance, and sustainability.
