The Future of Proptech

Smart buildings are no longer the future of proptech—they’re here and they’re the baseline. With the global proptech market projected to exceed $41 billion by 2025, the question is no longer whether to adopt smart technology, but how to best leverage it.

What trends are driving the next chapter of proptech? Industry analysts and developers alike are watching four major forces reshaping the market.

Smart buildings are data powerhouses. Real-time data can be used to make smarter decisions faster. For instance, smart buildings can use data to track entry points and determine key areas for surveillance. Some can monitor variations in HVAC that can signal potential issues. These data can be translated into actionable insights across occupancy, amenity usage, parcel management, packing, and more.

Sustainability continues to be a driving force behind proptech solutions. Energy management tools are becoming essential to reduce emissions, lower costs, and meet regulatory standards. By using the data mentioned above, buildings can be both designed and operated more sustainably.

From predictive maintenance and energy optimization to tenant screening and big data analysis, AI enables faster, smarter decisions.

In the sphere of building development, the result could be an Automation Engine. This is when a series of steps that are triggered by data and AI without human involvement. For example, in an emergency, an Automation Engine would contact the appropriate people such as a property manager or emergency services, without any staff involvement.

Smart building technology began as several independent solutions—different apps and portals to manage each feature. But today, the market is moving towards all-in-one solutions. Developers and operators are prioritizing integration and choosing solutions that do it all in one place. These interconnected solutions mean better data which, as mentioned above, provides an opportunity to do more.

The future of proptech is focused on creating a frictionless experience for all users. That means opting for solutions that can do things like manage HVAC, visitor access, and support tickets in one place. This technology can streamline operations, improve resident experiences, and unlock the full potential of building data.
