Intelligent Building Management Systems Market: COVID-19 Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the Intelligent Building Management Systems Market, with the industry experiencing positive and negative effects. Here are some of the key impacts:

Positive Impact:

• Increased Demand for Health & Safety Solutions: The health-oriented building solutions became more in demand as a result of the pandemic. IBMS has become an integral requirement for occupancy monitoring, indoor air quality, and ventilation to contain the spread of the virus. This trend focused again on healthy indoor environments using smart systems.
• Accelerated Adoption of Digitalization: It has speeded up digitalization in buildings and their management. Companies have taken up solutions that enable remote monitoring and remote management to continue maintaining the efficiency of operations even during reduced occupancy scenarios. IBMS allows real-time control over building systems such as lighting, HVAC, and security, with buildings keeping on working with minimal physical intervention.
• Focus on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Organizations remained committed to their sustainability goals even during disruptions. IBMS ensured organizations were best utilizing energy during off-peak hours, with lower demands for performances, therefore reducing cost while providing only the essentials. It increased reliance on smart and energy-efficient systems.

Negative Impact:

• Reduced Demand Due to Building Closures: Offices, malls, and hotels, amongst other commercial places, are invariably closed during lockdowns or operate at a reduced capacity, which oftentimes means that demands for IBMS solutions plummet drastically and without any form of warning. During the commotion and economic uncertainty, many organizations put up with upgrading their building management systems.
• Project Delays and Supply Chain Disruptions: The pandemic caused severe delays in almost all construction and renovation projects. Supply chain disruptions related to basic hardware and components caused new IBMS project rollout and upgrade rollouts to be severely hindered.
• Budget Constraints: During the pandemic, many of the organizations faced financial issues that led to slashing budgets on non-core investment projects, and therefore, the choice of selection IBMS upgrading. The uncertainty also prevented companies from making large-scale capital expenditures in building management systems.

Current Market Scenario Post-COVID

The pre-COVID situation found the global IBMS market on a growth path; with increasing emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability within buildings, most of the technologies–IoT, AI, analytics, among others–were already being integrated in order to optimize building operations but heavily concerned with cutting energy usage, improving comfort for tenants, and providing security.

Now, post-COVID, the IBMS market has focused on energy efficiency; however, occupant health, safety, and overall well-being are highly emphasized. The integration of AI, IoT, and analytics has taken the notch to allow real-time adjustments within the system by taking in the occupancy and environmental data.

In terms of investments, the digitalization movement received further impetus in the form of increased investment into smart solutions to ensure both operational efficiency and sustainability. Although disruptors, the market is now poised to grow on the back of evolving building management needs in this new world post-pandemic.
