Market Overview

The building twin market refers to digital replicas of buildings constructed using data from sensors, IoT devices and other sources to simulate real-world conditions to design, operate, and maintain buildings over their whole lifecycle. They help owners, architects, engineers, or facility managers monitor, analyze and enhance building performance for improved efficiency. Moreover, the building twin market is driven by the rise in smart buildings, advancements in IoT and sensor technologies, and a focus on sustainability. Digital twins optimize energy use, improve security, and enhance operational efficiency. For instance, in January 2023, Accenture invested strategically in Cosmo Tech, a leading global provider of digital twin simulation and optimization technology. Through Accenture Ventures, this investment occurred during the company's first phase of fundraising for its Series C funding. They support government regulations, reduce costs, and mitigate risks through predictive maintenance. Moreover, in February 2024, Capgemini and Unity, the world's leading platform for creating and growing real-time 3D (RT3D) content, have expanded their strategic alliance, whereby Capgemini will acquire Unity's Digital Twin Professional Services business. This transaction will further speed the iteration and deployment of market-leading real-time 3D (RT3D) visualization software for the industrial application of digital twins. This would finally enable end users to imagine and comprehend, as well as interact with physical systems-in short, the key enabler for intelligent industry. AI and machine learning enhance decision-making, while integration with BIM improves collaboration. With increasing urbanization and developing infrastructure, demand for building twins will further drive them into importance for the next generation of smart cities and the efficient management of buildings.
