Rapid infrastructural developments supported by the government initiatives to diversify the economy from oil to non-oil sectors are expected to boost the growth of the building management system market in the Middle East & Africa region. Furthermore, the increasing influx of FDI in the commercial and retail sectors is anticipated to augment the growth of the building management system market in the region over the forthcoming years.

Additionally, an increase in the number of green buildings to promote sustainability and several smart city projects such as Neom in Saudi Arabia, New Administrative Capital in Egypt would lead to the significant growth in the building management system market in the region over the forecast period. However, the spread of the coronavirus has shook the global economy, which in turn would affect foreign direct investments in the commercial and retail sectors.
