The internet of things (IoT) refers to the collective network of connected devices and technologies that facilitate communication between devices and the cloud. It relies on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to analyze various data and make informed decisions. It also uses predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned downtime and wearable technology to improve worker safety. It gives access to advanced analytics that uncover new opportunities by collecting data on customer behavior. It assists in monitoring digital and physical infrastructure to optimize performance, improve efficiency, and reduce risks. It aids in managing various operations efficiently, such as inventory management, fuel and spare parts management, and tracking shipping. It offers numerous benefits, such as high efficiency and productivity, improved customer experience, and increased mobility and agility. At present, there is a rise in the demand for IoT in the construction industry to automate hazard detection and safety monitoring of construction sites across the globe.
At present, there is a rise in the demand for IoT in the construction to help supervisors perform their tasks efficiently and gain insight about all the aspects of the project. This, along with the thriving construction industry, represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing demand for IoT in the construction to control movement, status, and progress of machinery and report in real-time with unprecedented precision is propelling the growth of the market. Besides this, governing agencies of various countries are implementing stringent regulations to promote the usage of IoT for minimizing the risks of accidents at construction sites. Moreover, there is an increase in the utilization of smart technologies, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, building information modelling, and augmented reality (AR), to reduce operational costs, enhance productivity, and efficient project management. This, coupled with the rising awareness among the masses about the benefits of IoT in the construction industry, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the growing employment of IoT in numerous construction activities, such as plastering, bricklaying, surveying, construction site management, asset tracking, worker tracking, and risk management, is positively influencing the market. Additionally, the escalating demand for smart wearables, such as smart glasses, wearable sensors, safety vests, and smart helmets, on sites is bolstering the growth of the market.
