The smart workplace market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for smart workplaces has seen a robust expansion in the recent past. Its growth trajectory indicates an increase from $44.33 billion in 2024 to $48.6 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historic period include customization and personalization, versatile and nimble workspaces, adaptable workenvironments, along with energy efficiency and sustainability.
The smart workplace market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Rapid expansion is projected for the smart workplace market size in the coming years, with expectations for it to surge to $85.16 billion by 2029, boasting an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%.
Several factors are believed to contribute to this growth within the expected timeframe, including an emphasis on both employee experience and wellness, cognitive collaboration, respecting data privacy and compliance, the zero trust security model, and insightful employee analytics. Key trends to observe during this forecast period include an increased reliance upon IoT for workplace connectivity, monitoring of occupancy and space utilization, the implementation of voice-activated and gesture-controlled interfaces, the advancement of security and access control measures, as well as the utilization of real-time collaboration tools and unified communications.
The rise in IoT-linked devices is anticipated to contribute significantly to the expansion of the smart workplace market. These devices, which are nonstandard computing units that wirelessly connect to a network and have data transmission capabilities, facilitate a deeply interconnected workplace. This allows for undisturbed communication and data exchange between systems and devices, thereby enhancing workplace efficiency. As per a November 2022 report from Ericsson, a telecommunication firm based in Sweden, broadband IoT (4G/5G) - which accounts for the majority of cellular IoT device connections - reached 1.3 billion connections in 2022. By the end of 2028, it is predicted that nearly 60% of cellular IoT connections will be broadband IoT connections, with 4G being the chief contributor. Northeast Asia currently leads in cellular IoT connections and is projected to exceed 2 billion connections in 2023. Hence, the surge in IoT-linked devices is propelling the growth of the smart workplace market.
