The report, titled “Smart Product Adoption,” evaluates the trends in smart product adoption, assesses consumer preferences for different channels to market, and identifies the impact of demographic attributes on adoption of smart home products.

In a multiyear study, the second quarter of 2014 showed that 13 percent of U.S. broadband households were using smart home devices. One year later showed the percentage had increased to 18 percent in the second quarter of 2015.
