Smart Street Furniture

Connectivity and Efficiency Through Smart Poles, Kiosks, Benches, and Waste Cans: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts

In recent years, smart cities have turned an innovative eye to street furniture: the poles, benches, waste cans, and fire hydrants that sit on the street. Through clever design, these objects can offer amenities today while laying a foundation for a more connected and efficient city in the future. Guidehouse Insights defines smart street furniture as common urban furniture, such as benches, signage, waste cans, and poles, whose function is improved and extended by the use of the Internet of Things and communications devices.

Providing access to charging for phones, electric bikes (e-bikes), and electric scooters (e-scooters) is a driver for smart poles and benches. A desire to improve the efficiency of municipal services like waste collection and water distribution is also significant. The cost of many smart street furniture solutions is the primary barrier to market development. However, this barrier is considerably smaller for technologies that are offered through arrangements that have low-to-no upfront costs or a clear and short path to generating positive ROI.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the global market for smart street furniture including market issues, emerging trends, drivers, and barriers to deployment.
Ten-year market forecasts (2023-2032) are included for smart poles, benches, kiosks, and waste cans. These forecasts include breakouts by technology, segment, and world region.
