Smart Door Lock Sales Heading To $357 Million

Despite the relatively high cost, 2 million smart door locks will be sold by 2021, according to a new study by Parks Associates.

Annual sales from the devices will increase from $207 million this year to pass $357 million within five years, with the adoption rate increasing more than 75% from this year.

However, half of consumers view smart door locks and smart video doorbells as too expensive, according to Parks Associates, pegging the average price of a smart door lock at $220 compared to non-connected locks for $80 to $100.
