Parks Associates research reveals that U.S. broadband households have an average of 13 connected devices in their home ranging from computing to smart home devices to smart appliances to entertainment devices, including home networking solutions.

Familiarity has been slowly increasing for these devices. Consumers who already own smart home devices are buying more and looking for further integration between them. According to Parks Associates research, 50% of smart home device owners have an application that controls multiple smart products.

There is a great opportunity for smart platforms in the MDU space as players seek to expand beyond single-family homeowners. Parks Associates‘ latest research shows that smart home device ownership for MDU residents surged forward compared to single-family home residents and all US broadband households, rising from 31% in Q4 2019to 41% in Q4 2020.
