The ambient intelligence market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for ambient intelligence has seen exponential growth in the recent past. It is expected to expand from $30.02 billion in 2024 to $38.5 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.3%.
This impressive growth during the historical period is traceable to progress in sensor technologies, an increased desire for smart homes, the merging of AI and machine learning, the expansion of the IoT ecosystem, and the advancements in mobile computing and connectivity.
The ambient intelligence market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the market size of ambient intelligence is anticipated to witness a significant rise, growing to a substantial size of $102.43 billion by 2029 with a 27.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This estimated expansion during the predicted period can be ascribed to several factors such as the launching of the 5G network, advancements in edge computing, rising urbanization, a concentrated approach towards sustainability, and the surfacing of autonomous vehicles. The key trends that are expected to dominate this forecast period encompass focus on design centered around humans, incorporation of blockchain, the usage of health and wellness applications, collaboration across varied industries, emphasis on predictive analytics, increasing popularity of voice-activated assistants, spread of wearable technologies along with the integration of augmented reality (AR).
The ambient intelligence market's growth is anticipated to be driven by worldwide government initiatives for smart cities. These initiatives include actions, programs, and procedures implemented by governments to resolve specific problems, foster development, or accomplish objectives. Ambient intelligence (AI) is promoted through these initiatives by establishing the necessary frameworks, policies, and support systems that encourage the creation and execution of intelligent environments. In April 2022, a report by the European Commission, the Belgium-based executive body of the European Union (EU), revealed the inclusion of 100 EU cities in the EU Mission for 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030, also known as the Cities Mission. These cities originate from all 27 member states, along with 12 additional cities from countries that are either associated with or potentially eligible for joining Horizon Europe. As a result, the ambient intelligence market is growing due to global government initiatives for smart cities.

Leading businesses in the ambient intelligence market are concentrating on creating innovative products using cutting-edge technologies like ultra-low-power presence sensors to enhance their market profitability. These ultra-low-power presence sensors are utilized in ambient intelligence for energy-efficient, uninterrupted monitoring and reactivity to human existence in a space. For instance, Novelda AS, a semiconductor sensor company based in Norway, invented an ultra-low-power sensor in June 2023. This sensor established a new efficiency and size benchmark with its minuscule power consumption (<100µW) and compact 5 x 30 mm design. It efficiently functions even when placed behind materials such as plastic and glass and is tailored for easy integration and compliance to global standards. Its superior abilities upgrade laptops by providing a hands-free login process, thereby improving user experience, effectiveness, and security, without any interference from Wi-Fi or UWB.
