Executive Summary
The broadest definition of home automation includes any device that provides remote or automatic control of electric or other energy-consuming devices around the home. Thus, home automation devices range from small stand-alone devices that control a single unit to complex smart home networks that link several electric devices in the home to a central, programmable computer brain.
Most U.S. consumers implement home automation solutions for their ease of use, affordability, features offered, security and energy management. Millennials perhaps represent the most tech-savvy of consumers. These consumers are willing to pay for innovation that supports their need for convenience and staying connected. Also, millennials as home buyers seek flexibility in home ownership, another key factor that is driving the market for U.S. home automation and security technologies.
Consumers of home automation solutions seek the following:
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to protect against fire and carbon monoxide.
- Flood sensors to protect against potential water damage.
- Door sensors and glass-break break sensors to notify homeowners of attempted forced entry.
- Indoor and outdoor security cameras to monitor homes, view video footage and be notified of suspicious activity.
- 24/7 monitoring to assist in an emergency or crisis, keeping the home and the people safe and protected.
According to NAHB's 2021, buyers continue to value home technology that makes them feel safer and more comfortable in their homes. Most users prefer programmable thermostats, rating this feature as "essential" or "desirable." Other popular features included security cameras, video doorbells, wireless home security systems, and multi-zone HVAC systems, among others.
Companies such as Google and Comcast are moving more aggressively to capture a share of the home automation market. The home automation market in the U.S. is very competitive, the players are constantly and aggressively developing solutions to suit the user needs. The players are adopting various strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, product development and launch, among others to sustain and grow in the market. For example, in January 2020, Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and Mosaic Acquisition Corp. entered a merger that resulted in Vivint becoming a publicly-traded company.
The top priority for the businesses is to safeguard consumer and workers' health. Partial or full plant closures could continue for manufacturers in regions that have been hard-hit for extended periods. COVID-19 has impacted nearly all regions, but especially in the U.S., which has experienced a sharp increase in diagnosed cases. COVID-19 has critically impacted nearly all global industries, which includes the market for U.S. Home Automation and Security Technologies.
The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially impacted the residential real estate market in the U.S. Despite the economy’s recovery, increased unemployment and economic uncertainty may continue to affect the housing market through 2020 and beyond. The pandemic’s impact on the U.S. housing market significantly affected the market of home automation and security technologies in 2020.
