New Research Indicates 13M US Internet Households Have Entered Smart Home Market Since 2020

Parks Associates has released a new white paper, Smart Home Evolution: Unlocking Value, in partnership with the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). This new research explores the progress of the smart home, highlighting key milestones, emerging consumer demands, and the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI). The white paper reveals 38% of buyers now identify as “Early Majority,” up from 20% six years ago. Since 2020, roughly 13 million new US internet households entered the smart home market, expanding the base of households that own a smart home device to 54 million.

“As the market has grown, the base of households owning smart home devices has expanded beyond tech enthusiasts to more practical users seeking lasting value and reasonable costs,” said Jennifer Kent, VP, Research, Parks Associates. “As the market moves into this next phase, new layers of value, including integrations/interoperability, intelligence, and the development of services, are needed.”

“Greater intelligence, ease of integration, adjacent service offerings, and quality of service will shape the market going forward and define the competitive edge,” Kent said.
