C-suite executives are increasingly implementing advanced IT
service delivery models due to the rising consolidation of IT infrastructures, such
as networking systems and data centers. The adoption of IT services is
increasing with the growing need for IT modernizations in healthcare, BFSI,
telecom, and manufacturing sectors as well. This is boosting the need for
better connectivity and sustainability, which, in turn, is propelling the
deployment of smart city projects. Moreover, an increase in IT consolidation is
leading to the migration of youth to metropolitan cities in search of job
opportunities. This is further encouraging governments to develop smart cities
for better surveillance. Thus, the increase in IT consolidation and
modernization will boost the growth of the smart city market during the
