North America faces challenge of aging infrastructure
Bengaluru-headquartered Astrikos AI says a strategic investment from Gorilla Technology Group Inc (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla”) of London will support its global expansion and pipeline development of its flagship Smart Interop Analytical Platform (“S!aP”), strengthen its global footprint, and expand its pipeline of enterprise solutions across Smart Cities, Data Centres, and Critical Infrastructure verticals.
The smart infrastructure, IoT, and AI-driven urban management markets are undergoing exponential growth. According to a recent report by MarketsandMarkets™ (M&M), the global smart cities market size is projected to rise from approximately US$699.7 billion in 2025 to US$1,445.6 billion by 2030, at a 15.6% CAGR https://www.bseindia.com/.
Furthermore, India’s AI-optimized data centre market specifically is forecast to grow from US$1.19 billion in 2025 to more than US$3.10 billion by 2030, with a sustained growth rate above 20%. The broader data centre industry is expected to reach US$21.8 billion by 2030, driven by AI adoption and data localization. It is expected that global connected IoT devices will hit approximately 39 billion by 2030, driving a tidal wave of data generation and demand for real-time analytics.
