Home Automation Deep Dive: New Findings on Pricing, DIY, Market Challenges & More

About half of nearly 200 surveyed residential security dealer respondents anticipate revenue growth of at least 10% in 2019 as compared to the prior year. That is according to Security Sales & Integration’s Home Automation Deep Dive, which is based on the publication’s sixth year of partnering with Parks Associates on research to define the residential security market.

The latest study offers evidence of a continuing strong market, but also ongoing industry challenges. Given margin of error, the expectations noted above parallel the revenue growth percentage dealers reported for 2018 over 2017.
