Dublin, Dec. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Smart Homes Market - Segmented by Product Type (Security & Surveillance Systems, Lighting Systems, HVAC&R Controls) and Region - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2018 - 2023)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
In 2017, the global smart Home market was valued at USD 39.68 billion and is expected to reach a value of USD 159.68 billion by 2023, registering a CAGR of 25.3% during 2018-2023.
The threat of climate change, fluctuating energy prices and energy security and supply concerns have necessitated new ways of producing, delivering and consuming energy. In this regard, smart homes have gained increased attention in both policies and government regulations across the globe.
Europe to Witness the Fastest Growth for Smart Homes
Evolving energy policies such as Energiewende and changing consumer preferences have led to a fundamental shift in grid operations to distributed energy resources (DER), with the target to reduce primary energy consumption by 20% by 2020, is driving the deployment of smart grids and smart home infrastructure in Germany. The UK government mandates energy suppliers to install smart meters in 26 million homes with the aim that every household in England, Wales and Scotland will have a smart meter by 2020.
The accelerating smart meter roll-out, growing awareness of the energy crisis, coupled with the European directive to reduce 80% of carbon emission by 2050, the UK smart home market is expected to see a significant growth over the forecast period. Italy, Russia, France and Germany are expected to lead the market for HVAC systems, owing to increasing awareness, high per-capita income and purchasing power of consumers.
However, the lack of understanding of user's needs, device compatibility issues as well as consumer concerns for privacy and security are expected to hamper the adoption of smart home devices and solutions.
Energy Management Systems to Witness an Increased Adoption
As the population across the globe increases, so will the energy demand and per-head consumption. There are costs associated with maintenance and upgradation of aging infrastructure, due to high demand. This is driving resilience in energy management systems. Smart energy management technologies help utilities and distributors anticipate and manage loads better, reduce the requirement for costly infrastructure development, and improve service quality and customer satisfaction.
Energy management in smart homes mainly comprises of smart meters, smart appliances, energy management system for appliances, and home power generation, all functioning on smart grids. Smart meters are unleashing the potential of power demand management across the world by measuring and smartly managing resources. An instance of this trend is the ongoing process of voluntary replacement of standard meters with smart meters in high volumes in the Europe in the recent years.
Growing Trend Toward Sustainability
Smart homes are a major step on the evolutionary ladder for residential spaces, and their primary aim is to make living more comfortable, convenient, secure, entertaining and sustainable. Powered by gadgets and computing technologies, smart homes were the prerogative of the very rich in the past - but no more.
With technological advances in voice control and artificial intelligence, the intelligent assistant is now a viable control center for the connected home. Tech giants and startup attackers have developed solutions delivered through both existing devices and new, stand-alone products. The supply of mobile entities, the improvement of wireless Internet, the emergence of cloud services, the sophistication of low-energy high-performance energy technologies, and other forms of convergence technology-based Internet of Things (IoT) have opened a new era for smart home technology.
IoT-oriented smart home aims to collect human-machine interaction, then analyze, predict, and utilize information in solving life problems. Based on this, smart home is shifting to smart space, a paradigm that solves potential personal and societal problems and further provides new value to the world. There are various ongoing research developments on the subject of smart space, and new business models and service platforms are emerging.
