Research Shows Continued Growth In Smart Home Market

Approximately 26 percent of U.S. broadband households today now own a smart home device, up from 19 percent at the end of 2015, according to new Parks Associates’ research that was announced at its CONNECTIONS Summit at CES in January.

“That is a pretty significant increase, and that is notable because if you look at the lifestyle adoption, it is moving from early adopters to early majority so that transition is interesting,” Tom Kerber, Parks’ director of IoT strategy, told Security Systems News. “Any single category of product is not in the range, but collectively that it has moved past 20 percent is a milestone.”
