By 2020, consumers will be spending nearly $130 billion annually on smart home offerings; we estimate that 47% or more than $60 billion can be addressed by service providers. Applications focusing on “safety and security” have the potential to generate more than $26 billion in new revenues for service providers on a global basis. Self-monitoring applications aimed at providing “peace-of-mind” for consumers will exceed $14 billion globally by this time. The United States represents the largest single-country opportunity reaching $21 billion by 2020; the Western European opportunity will hit nearly $10 billion by this time.
“Can be addressed are the operative words,” states Bill Ablondi, Director, Smart Home Strategies. “There are many different types of companies seeking to capture market share for one or more products and/or services in the smart home market including retailers, insurance companies, energy providers, security service providers and device manufacturers to name the prominent participants to date. Service providers will have to effectively compete and/or partner with these types of companies in order to earn a viable market position. Success in the market will be based on a company’s ability to develop and execute a sustainable business model.
