IoT Platforms in 2025: Market Trends Reshaping Commercial Building Technology

As commercial buildings transform into responsive, data-driven environments, IoT platforms have emerged as the critical orchestration layer connecting previously isolated systems into unified networks.

Our new report, “IoT Platforms in Smart Commercial Buildings 2025 to 2030,” delivers actionable intelligence on this rapidly evolving ecosystem.

Market Growth Accelerated by Converging Drivers


The total global market for Building IoT (BIoT) in commercial buildings is projected to grow from $64.1 billion in 2024 to $101.0 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of 7.87% under our baseline scenario. 

This growth is being accelerated by converging drivers, including ESG reporting requirements, stricter energy performance standards, carbon reduction mandates, and changing workplace utilization patterns.

Property stakeholders are increasingly turning to IoT platforms to transform fragmented building data into actionable intelligence that drives operational efficiency, sustainability, and enhanced tenant experiences.
