Rising Emphasis on Energy Efficiency, Convenience, Safety and Security Drives the Global Home Automation Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) August 08, 2014 -- Follow us on LinkedIn – Home automation is defined as the process of automating the entire home environment by means of a combined in-built monitoring system. Capable of controlling electronic, electrical and security appliances from a single interface, home automation solutions are increasingly growing in prominence among homeowners across the world. Connectivity, over the years, has emerged as a high-end novelty across a wide range of home devices including security cameras, utility meters, and thermostats, among others. In the coming years, connectivity is poised to balloon into a more pervasive trend to the extent of being an embedded standard in virtually every household device and equipment. Smart homes of the future will feature over 20-30 connected sensors and devices linked via a home area network to the Internet as well as the service provider’s back-end systems.
Increasing preference for safety and security, growing awareness about energy efficiency, rising penchant for remote monitoring of houses and buildings, resurgence in the construction industry, remodeling of residential buildings, rapid urbanization trends and growing trend towards a more luxurious and convenient lifestyle, are factors driving demand for home automation solutions. Wider availability of mainstream systems based on packaged components and standardized technologies is driving the adoption of both professionally installed and do it yourself (DIY) home automation systems. Growth in the market is also driven by declining complexity and costs of home automation products. Growing popularity of managed home automation services offered by broadband and telecom service providers is also benefitting market expansion.
Rapid proliferation of gadgets and smartphones coupled with technological advancements are also promoting the adoption of home automation products that are capable of operating at the push-of-a button. Advanced home automation systems are available with enhanced and never-before features that make them apt for a wide range of applications including temperature control and lighting control, among others. Additionally, advent of high speed Internet broadband, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth has widened the use of these systems. Wireless networking platforms and DIY home automation solutions are gaining widespread acceptance at the expense of fixed-wire and power-line home automation systems. Increasing demand for enhanced and round-the-clock connectivity is also paving the way for Pay TV and ISP Gateway technologies, which are expected to further propel demand for home automation products in the medium to long term.
