Overview of the Startup Landscape. Who is Gaining Traction?

We have published a new report that evaluates the Startup Landscape of Smart Buildings in 2023. Of the 1,266 companies founded since 2012 in the management and operations phase of the global smart commercial buildings space, 801 are active and fit our definition of a Startup. This report selects 100 startups for further analysis that have gained traction in the last 2 years across 10 major segments.

Our definition of a Startup is “a private company formed no earlier than 2012 that is focused on the commercial and industrial buildings market, is not a subsidiary or an acquisition of a larger company and is often financed by venture capital or private equity funding.”

The number of companies identified which fit our definition has increased by 20% compared to the 665 startups in the 3rd edition of this report published in 2021. The smart building startup landscape is continuing to expand, but at a slower rate than in 2021, when we saw a 38% increase in the number of new entrants founded.

A further 352 startups have been acquired between 2012 and 2022 – 28% of the total. See our January 2023 Report for further details. Non-operational and closed startups account for around 6% of the total landscape.
