Research firm Parks Associates forecasts that the smart home market will continue slow and steady growth, with 102 million smart home device unit sales in 2024, up 8% from 2023. The firm predicts that by 2029, smart home device revenue will reach nearly $15 billion.

Elizabeth Parks, president and CMO at Parks Associates, notes that smart home devices can collect a wide range of data—from usage patterns and energy consumption to individual preferences and environmental conditions—which allows for a smart, responsive, and a more personalized user experience.
