Statista calculates that there are approximately 260 million smart homes worldwide. And market growth rates are rising by about 16.7% year on year.
The forecast for smart home growth rates in 2021 can be adjusted upwards. People now spend nearly all of their time at home due to the impact of COVID.
Smart home controls
The smart home market has gone beyond homes that only required single task solutions. For example, enterprises that only serve homes with access control automation are now behind the pace of change.
It is more commonplace to offer multi-purpose smart home solutions.
Apple offers a solution for Apple smart home devices which also works for some devices from other vendors.
However, Apple’s solution can only be controlled from an iPhone or other Apple devices.
This still presents opportunities for large enterprises to bridge gaps in smart home solutions on the market.
Enterprises can offer complete solutions for managing an ecosystem of wide-ranging devices from various manufacturers.
Gaps in smart home solutions
The typical smart home has devices by multiple brands. This brings several service areas up for competition.
Vendors may have individual apps to control their respective devices. However, an app that offers universal smart home controls would set trends.
This is one of the obvious gaps asking to be filled by market savvy enterprises.
