GCC Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) Market – Overview

Building automation and control systems (BACS) refer to a networked system of integrated technologies and devices designed to manage and control various building systems and operations. It encompasses the automation and monitoring of crucial functions such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, security, and other building services. BACS utilizes sensors, actuators, controllers, and communication protocols to gather data, make intelligent decisions, and optimize energy usage, comfort, and operational efficiency. By centralizing control and providing real-time feedback, BACS enables streamlined management, enhanced occupant comfort, and reduced energy consumption, contributing to sustainable and cost-effective building operations.

Growth Drivers

Expanding Construction Sector and Rising Focus on Sustainability

The GCC countries are significantly investing in the construction sector for economic diversification and reducing their dependence on oil. To diversify their economies and lessen their reliance on oil, the GCC nations are making considerable investments in the building industry. They have several ongoing construction projects, including those involving residential & commercial structures, hotel & industrial developments, infrastructure for the distribution of energy & water, and transportation. These projects also aimed at improving the tourism sector of the countries. Along with infrastructure development, countries are also focused on attaining higher energy efficiency, which is anticipated to boost the overall GCC building automation and control systems (BACS) market during the forecast period.

Restraints

High Initial Investment and Installation Cost of BACS

According to Saavi Home, a home automation service provider based in the United States, building automation expenses for new construction typically vary from 3% to 7%. Therefore, the cost of home automation for a USD 1,000,000 property will range from USD 30,000 to USD 70,000. Depending on the quality of the equipment, the quantity will also vary greatly. And even though the long-term energy savings is comparatively higher than the investment, the initial investment involved demotivates the end users from adopting building automation and control systems, which limits its market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on GCC Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) Market

The sudden breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the growth of the GCC building automation and control systems (BACS) market. Construction industry activities were suspended as a result of the lockdown and social distance rules that were put in place to stop the virus from spreading, which had a detrimental effect on the market demand for building automation and control systems. However, the market has gained significant traction in the contactless environment. Building owners and managers gave high priority to integrating touchless technology that lowers the danger of virus transmission, such as automated entry systems, contactless access controls, and voice-activated devices.
