Smart Home Security Market Report 2025

The smart home security market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $33.32 billion in 2024 to $38.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to security and safety concerns, consumer awareness and education, remote monitoring and control, integration with smart home ecosystems, insurance incentives.

The smart home security market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $71.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to artificial intelligence and machine learning integration, privacy and data security concerns, customization and personalization, rise of DIY installations, smart city initiatives and collaboration. Major trends in the forecast period include behavioral analytics for threat detection, cybersecurity training and education, integration with smart home ecosystems, rise of DIY (do-it-yourself) security solutions, collaboration with law enforcement.

The growth of the smart home security market is driven by rising crime rates worldwide. As crime rates increase, consumers are placing a greater emphasis on safety and security systems, particularly in residential areas. Households are increasingly opting for smart devices such as smart alarms, smart cameras, and smart lockers to enhance their safety and security. For instance, in October 2023, the United States Department of Justice, a government agency, reported that hate crime incidents rose by 794 in 2022, totaling 11,634 cases, up from 10,840 in 2021. Therefore, the escalating crime rates globally are fueling the growth of the smart home security market.

An increasing number of internet users is expected to drive the growth of the smart home security market in the future. Internet users are individuals who access and use the Internet, a vast network of interconnected computers and digital services. Their presence enables remote monitoring and control of smart home security systems, allowing for real-time alerts and the integration of devices for improved security and convenience. For instance, in July 2023, the Canadian Internet Use Survey 2022 conducted by Statistics Canada, a national statistics agency, revealed that internet usage among Canadians aged 15 and older rose from 92% in 2020 to 95% in 2022. Notably, Canadians aged 75 and older experienced the most significant increase, from 62% in 2020 to 72% in 2022. Thus, the growing number of internet users is contributing to the expansion of the smart home security market.

The high installation costs of smart home security devices act as a constraint on market growth. As a relatively new technology, the setup costs and associated expenses for smart home security, including utilities, maintenance, and repairs, are considerable. The cost varies based on the installation plan and property size, with alarm systems and security camera installations being more expensive. A basic smart home security system, including a burglar alarm, thermostat, outdoor lighting, and a backdoor lock controlled remotely, may cost $2,500. Advanced security and home automation systems can cost up to $1.8 million. Monitoring costs typically range from $5 to $65 per month, averaging $32 per month, according to Safewise. Installation costs range from $0 to $200, and basic equipment costs range from $350 to $400 per individual device.

Manufacturers of smart home security systems are increasingly incorporating AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies with visual recognition capabilities into their security devices. AI is advancing to a stage where security confirmation and authentication processes are conducted through facial and visual recognition. Home security systems, including consumer video cameras, are integrating AI technology with a novel security validation framework, enhancing safety and security through features such as facial recognition, fingerprints, and voice recognition. AI is also proposed for use in smart alarms, creating databases of incoming alerts to predict and analyze false alarms. For example, in June 2022, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturer, introduced its battery-operated Smart Alarm System (SAS). This technology platform employs sensor fusion based on artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) for high precision and extremely low-power operation. When used with low-power wake-on acoustic event detection, this technique achieves outstanding performance, offering battery life equal to or greater than less sophisticated solutions. It surpasses the detection accuracy of acoustic-only alarm systems used in smart homes, buildings, and other IoT applications.

Major players in the smart home security market are intensifying their focus on introducing convenient and efficient home security solutions to maintain a competitive advantage. These solutions emphasize ease of use, time-saving features, and effective protection for homeowners and their properties. In September 2023, Yale, a US-based door company, launched a new line of home security products tailored for the European market. This product line includes a video doorbell, the next generation of its smart alarm system, and the Smart Indoor Camera. The Smart Indoor Camera offers 1080p footage, a 110-degree field of view with night vision, motion-triggered event recording, customizable coverage zones, AI-powered human detection, motion scheduling, and a privacy mode that deactivates recording when the door is unlocked. The Smart Alarm system secures both the inside and outside of the home, integrating with the Yale Home app for remote arm/disarm functionality and real-time notifications.

In July 2024, LG Electronics Inc., a technology company based in South Korea, acquired Athom B.V. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to bolster LG Electronics Inc.'s presence in the smart home market by incorporating Athom B.V.'s Homey platform, which facilitates seamless connectivity and automation among a diverse array of devices. This integration enhances LG's capacity to provide comprehensive and customizable smart home security and automation solutions to its global consumer base. Athom B.V. is a company located in the Netherlands that specializes in smart home security.
