CE Pro Summit: Wireless Protocols Holding Back Internet of Things (IoT) Growth

Bergman says the custom electronics industry is on the cusp of tremendous IoT growth. (See chart.)

Yet, he pointed to joint research between CEA and Parks Associates that shows only about 5 percent of all IoT devices are installed professionally. 

But Bergman makes the point that with increasing connectivity among devices will come the need for professional installation. The nascent nature of the market is also evident from further Parks data, which was conducted to 10,000 broadband households, that shows only 13 percent of homes have IoT devices currently, and there is not a single device that is penetrated in more than six percent of homes. That includes connected thermostats, doorbells, door locks, CO detectors, or water leak detectors.

From the article "CE Pro Summit: Wireless Protocols Holding Back Internet of Things (IoT) Growth" by Jason Knott.
