Internet of Things (IoT) in Construction Market Dynamics
DRIVERS: Increasing Productivity and safety due to the use of IoT on construction sites
IoT offers incredible advantages to the construction industry. The technology has already proven its merit in healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, and other industries where systems management and automation play a crucial role. With its many applications, loT has the potential to improve safety and increase productivity on construction sites.
Interconnectivity between devices and systems sync them to a central server for simplified monitoring. This allows supervisors to perform their tasks efficiently and makes them aware of all the aspects of a project. They also get to know about issues first-hand, which helps them tackle those issues quickly. IoT helps in reducing downtime and prevents machine failure. With the help of IoT, the movement, status, and progress of machinery can be controlled and reported in real-time with unprecedented precision. This connectivity is helpful to plan and coordinate other activities to increase productivity and reduce delays.
RESTRAINT: High initial cost of Internet of Things (IoT) in construction industry
Although IoT offers numerous benefits and cost savings in the construction sector, the initial cost for setting-up technology is high. For instance, the BIM software used for 3D modeling may cost between USD 3,000 to USD 5,000. The software requires a long duration of training. Apart from the software cost, the cost of training and services is also high. In some countries, wages provided to workers in the construction industry are very less. The construction companies also do not encourage the use of technology, as it increases the cost associated with the project.
OPPORTUNITIES: Growing Focus of APAC on IoT
Governments of India, China, Malaysia, and other Asian countries are spending excessively on infrastructure and construction to establish smart cities in the region. The APAC infrastructure market is expected to contribute approximately 60% to the global market by 2025, which is expected to play a positive role in driving the IoT in construction market. Governments of various Asian countries, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and China, are making stringent laws to control accidents at construction sites. Strict rules have been imposed on those who violate these safety laws and put the worker's life at risk. As IoT offers high safety features in the construction industry, these laws are expected to provide growth opportunities to the loT in construction market of APAC in the near future.
CHALLENGES: Over-dependence on conventional methods
Digitization in the construction industry is relatively lower than that of other industries. Lack of digitization hampers productivity in the construction industry. Many times, large-scale construction projects take longer to finish than scheduled and go beyond the budget lowering financial returns for contractors. Project planning remains uncoordinated between the office and the field since the majority of the work is done on paper, which, in turn, leads to unsophisticated supply chain management. Lack of digitization also threatens the safety of workers and exposes them to possible fatality. The industry has not yet embraced new technologies that need upfront investment, even if the long-term benefits are significant. R&D spending in the construction industry runs way behind that of the other industries, which might be the challenge for the players present in the loT in construction market..
Software segment is driving the demand for IoT in construction market in 2020
On the basis of offering, the IoT in construction market has been classified into hardware, software, and services. The software segment is estimated to dominate the overall IoT in construction market. Continuous focus of the companies to develop software that reflects various parameters in the dashboard and increasing usage of analytics forbetter decision-making is driving the demand for the software segment.
Remote Operations is the largest application of Internet of Things (IoT) in construction market in 2020
On the basis of application, the 10T in construction market has been segmented into safety management, predictive maintenance, remote operations, fleet management, and others. Remote operation is the largest segment in the overall market during the forecast period. Growing usage of oT for machine control and real-time monitoring is responsible for the high market share of the remote operations application.
North America holds the largest market share for IoT in construction market.
North America was the largest loT in construction market in 2018, and the trend is expected to remain the same. The North American region is segmented into the US and Canada. The large market share of North America is attributed to the multiple construction OEMs embracing the use of loT in the construction in the region. Many players operating in the IoT in construction market, including Oracle Corporation, Caterpillar Inc., and CalAmp Corp., are headquartered in the region. There is growing investment in infrastructure and construction projects in the region, which is playing a major role in the growing adoption of loT in the North American construction industry.
