The Challenge For Smart Home Companies: Getting A Foot In The Door

But many consumers are leery. News articles questioning the privacy and security of home networks and connected devices, including always-listening smart speakers, have put off potential buyers. The science-fiction fantasy of a truly smart home has hit a harsh reality where most consumers don't share the enthusiasm of technologists.

"In 2018, the industry did not reach a substantial number of new buyers," said Chris O'Dell, an analyst with Parks Associates. "What we did see was that those already owning smart home devices continued to purchase them."
