From the report: “The term ‘smart’ as it relates to IoT has been applied to nearly every walk of life imaginable. From Smart Cities all the way down the proverbial food chain to Smart Toothbrushes, if there is a way to attach a sensor to something, that thing can be made to be ?smart?. As applied to buildings, the ability to automate the systems within a structure to turn it into a smart building is pervasive. According to Markets and Markets, the worldwide building automation market opportunity for products is expected from grow from just over $7 billion in 2017 to just under $32 billion by 2022. Not only does this represent a 33% CAGR, it also means that service technicians will also have a substantial opportunity during this same time frame to help retro fit these new systems into older buildings that were built before the dawn of what many people are calling the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
