Number of Households with Smart Home Devices Increases

Since 1986, Parks Associates has been recognized as a market research and consulting company that specializes in emerging consumer technology products and services. A recent report from the research firm shows that there has been an increase in the overall adoption of smart home devices.

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.
