Security is a major focus of smart home systems. Advanced smart security systems can notify users, who are away from their home in case of intrusion; moreover, they provide room-by-room surveillance. Access control systems play an important role in providing security to residential areas. These systems have evolved since their inception to provide efficient and user-friendly utilization. On the back of their capability to ensure high efficiency and sophistication, home automation and control systems are being deployed in smart homes to increase the level of security.
Smart home products find applications in almost all devices, including HVAC, lighting, entertainment, home appliances, kitchen, and healthcare, within a house. Lighting controllers such as dimmers, timers, switches, and sensors enable homeowners to keep a check on the lightings within the household. Energy management products such as HVAC controls, smart thermostats, smart meters, and smart plugs enable consumers to check the electricity consumption within the household using different mediums. The smart home industry has also been successful in providing automated features for entertainment and security devices within the household.
The UK held the largest share of the smart home market in Europe. This can be attributed to the construction industry in the UK as well as the combined efforts from the government and citizens alike to promote reduced carbon emissions and conservation of energy. The UK is at the forefront of the adoption of smart homes related products. The government has also prioritized the issue of fire accidents and safety and has formed certain objectives regarding infrastructure investment to meet this demand. The UK has experienced a noticeable increase in the use of surveillance systems as well and is one of the global leaders in the use of video surveillance equipment in most public premises
North America is expected to capture the largest share of the global smart home market by 2026. It is home to some of the prominent smart home market players, including Honeywell (US), Ingersoll-Rand (US), Johnson Controls (US), Lutron Electronics (US), Acuity Brands (US), and Crestron Electronics (US). Factors such as the increased demand for reliable home energy management systems, enhanced home security levels, improved device standards, and the growth in popularity of integration of smart devices, such as tablets, smartphones, and standalone voice assistants, in homes, drive the market in North America. The number of smart homes in North America, especially in the US, is higher than that in any other region in the world. Thus, the market in this region is expected to grow at a steady pace during the forecast period.
Difficulties linking disparate systems, limited functionality, and lack of open standards, risk of device malfunctioning, and compatibility issues between devices of different companies are some other challenges in smart home market space.
The global smart home market is expected to grow exponentially in the near future. The significant traction for smart homes all over the world can be attributed to the sense of comfort, safety, and convenience they provide. North America is expected to be the leading shareholder in the smart home market during the forecast period.
