Predictive Infrastructure Degradation System (PIDS) – Industry Report 2025
This 2025 report provides an in-depth analysis of the UK infrastructure maintenance landscape and the global commercial buildings market for Predictive Infrastructure Degradation Systems (PIDS). It examines market trends, regulatory requirements, technology adoption, and practical guidance for asset owners and facility managers.
Key Highlights
UK Industry Landscape
- Maintenance Backlog: Over £49 billion in public building maintenance backlog, with major issues in NHS estates and social housing.
- Reactive vs. Predictive: Current practices rely heavily on reactive and time-based maintenance; predictive approaches are still emerging.
- Regulatory Drivers: Compliance requirements from the Building Safety Act, fire safety regulations, and “golden thread” documentation create demand for continuous monitoring.
- Technology Stack: Recommended MVP components include IoT sensors (temperature, vibration, leak detection), edge gateways, and a secure AI/data pipeline.
- Deployment Path: Guidance for pilot assessments, integration with BMS and CMMS, and scaling strategies for councils and large estates.
Global Commercial Buildings
- Market Growth: Predictive maintenance in commercial buildings is projected at ~$2.8 billion by 2025, with related analytics and digital twin markets growing rapidly toward 2030.
- Adoption: 45+ million smart buildings in 2022, expected to reach 115 million by 2026. Strongest adoption in offices, hospitals, hotels, and retail properties.
- Cost Benchmarks: Sensors range from ~$100 for basic IoT devices to $1,000+ for advanced vibration or structural monitoring; software typically uses subscription models.
- Key Vendors: Major players include Johnson Controls, Honeywell, and Siemens, alongside emerging specialists in IoT analytics and digital twins.
- Global Trends: North America and Europe lead adoption; Asia-Pacific and the Middle East show the fastest growth rates due to smart-city initiatives.
