The US multifamily market is an increasingly important sector for technology services and products. The publisher considers the size of the US smart multifamily market as the foundation of the overall MDU technology market opportunity. The publisher’s model is built on the US Census Bureau’s estimates of the overall US housing market and informed by the publisher's consumer and industry studies. This model analyzes the size of the US apartment and condo markets, including drill-downs into property-provided internet and managed Wi-Fi, smart access control, water leak detection, and select resident-facing amenities. The publisher also assesses revenues attributed to fees or rent charged to residents, including the property and service provider split.
