The smart home has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with technology. Smart homes allow stakeholders to better engage and retain customers, increase satisfaction, and generate new revenue streams. Stakeholders are driving adoption of connected devices and growing the number of touch points in the home to generate user data. More data leads to more opportunity to drive additional value and generate new revenue streams. Platforms such as Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit are spurring excitement and demonstrating the benefits of controlling connected devices with voice.

However, the smart home is still a long way from being able to act intelligently and independently. As mainstream consumers gain more access to smart home technologies, many struggle to use the devices or access the benefits desired from the products. Smart homes are plagued with basic technology issues. Not all devices work together seamlessly. Data privacy and security issues deter customers, as does the price premium of smart devices. Despite these obstacles, the smart home is gaining mindshare among consumers and transitioning from an emerging market to a mainstream industry. Navigant Research expects to see significant growth in the future as homes become even smarter.
