SKU # MC20004202

Description

The homes and buildings industry maintained its growth momentum in 2024, recording a 6.9% expansion despite ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainties. In 2025, the industry is projected to grow within a range of 4.3% to 8.6%, driven by increasing demand for property technology solutions, smart home solutions, sustainable climate control systems, and data-driven building optimization strategies. The adoption of AI, IoT, and automation continues to accelerate, reshaping intelligent building solutions and construction management.

Despite strong growth, the industry faces persistent challenges, including rising building O&M costs, AI integration complexities, construction project delays, labour shortages, and market volatility. Additionally, geopolitical uncertainties—including the Trump administration’s anti-climate stance—pose potential roadblocks to clean energy progress and sustainability initiatives in North America.

Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Homes and Buildings Outlook delivers a comprehensive analysis of key industry predictions and opportunities, covering lighting, critical building equipment, facility management, smart building management, smart homes, and construction management. The report provides regional insights for North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World, with a focus on service innovations, AI evolution, growth in data center segment, and the evolving construction technology landscape.

A major industry shift is the emergence of AI agents in SaaS-based construction management and building operations, which is poised to redefine efficiency and automation. Furthermore, the smart home industry is transitioning from a hardware-driven model to a subscription-based ecosystem, enhancing user personalization. Other notable developments include AI-driven predictive energy management, unified building intelligence platforms, connected HVAC solutions, and the growing role of robotics and automation in sustainable construction.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
