Owing to the availability of resources and initiatives by governments, countries are witnessing an increase in the number of smart cities. With the same intention, various city councils in the countries are collaborating with various solution providers for implementing new information and communication technologies (ICT).
Moreover, with the intention of proliferating the adoption of smart devices and smart technologies, various organizations are collaborating with the country’s government entities to drive smart cities projects, which further is contributing towards the growth of the market.
For instance, In January 2018, the city of Duisburg signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Huawei Enterprise Business Group for enabling Duisburg to become a smart city. Also, In May 2018, GFCA (Global Future Cities Alliance) partnered with CATIS (China Association of Trade in Services) for accelerating the smart city development in the country.
In addition, rapid increase in urbanization is creating congested landscapes, thereby giving rise to issues such as climate change, high energy consumption, water scarcity, and other economic and social problems. According to the United Nations, the global urban population in 2015 was 54%, which is expected to increase to 66% by 2050.
This rapid rate of change in urbanization is expected to exert substantial pressure on the available resources.Thus, the governments of most developed and developing countries are focusing on smart city projects to implement new technologies which ensure optimal utilization of the available resources, along with providing superior connectivity and healthy lifestyles.

With the rise in the number of smartphones and tablets and other smart devices, the opportunities for the growth of digital technologies is growing continuously. For any city to cater to and meet the growing demands of an urban population and the consumption of man-made and natural resources, it must leverage technology and the resultant smart solutions to drive a holistic benefit for the entire ecosystem.
Furthermore, owing to the initiatives taken by the governments of various countries, such as China and India, for adopting smart meters and smart grids, a high opportunity for the growth of smart government market is expected.
For instance, In June 2018, HPL Electric and Power Ltd., an Indian-based company, received a BIS certification for the deployment of smart meters in the country. In June 2018, Vector, an Auckland-based energy and utility company, partnered with mPrest, an Israeli-based software company, for offering smart grids in Australia.
A transition towards the adoption of fiber optic network systems is being witnessed from copper-based systems in some developed and developing countries. However, network systems of a high proportion of developing countries still function over copper-based cables and systems. This, as a result, restricts the efficient implementation of advanced technologies such as smart grids, IoT, etc.
Hence, the inability of supporting the required bandwidth for the implementation of advanced technologies (necessary for enabling smart government) across a major proportion of cities, globally, restrains the growth of the market.

The pandemic outbreak has a substantial impact on societies and economies and has affected the market significantly. As lockdowns had been imposed by governments all over the globe, the continuity of operations for a majority of industries was adversely impacted.
In addition, hardware and IoT sensors ar majorly manufactured in China due to low labour costs, but as the global supply chain was impacted abruptly, majority of countries have cut-off all their imports. Thus there will be a rise in costs of hardware and IoT solutions, which hinders the growth of the smart government market.
However, smart cities were using smart city platform for aerial surveillance, heat maps, GPS systems and othersto monitor the movement of suspected Covid-19 cases and health personnel. Thus there was demand for solutions and services during the pandemic outbreak. So the smart government market is anticipated to gain back its momentum by end of 2021.
