# IMARC Projects U.S. Smart Cities Growth

IMARC Group projects the U.S. smart cities market will grow from USD 191.7 billion in 2026 to USD 472.3 billion by 2034, driven by government support and investment in connected infrastructure, AI, and sustainability. The forecast points to potential municipal and public-private procurement demand in smart utilities, traffic management, public safety, efficient buildings, and EV charging, but it does not identify an active solicitation or specific contract award. The USDOT SMART Grants program has supported smart-mobility projects, with 83 recipients reported across 39 states; no open funding opportunity is identified in the signals.

- Contractors can align offerings with the forecast areas, particularly connected infrastructure, smart utilities, traffic systems, public safety technology, building efficiency, and EV charging.
- Municipal projects, public-private partnerships, and federal grant programs are potential routes to market; the SMART Grants information provided is background, not an open solicitation.
- Siemens and Cisco are identified among smart-city technology participants, but no specific contract, award, or procurement role is reported for either company.
