Smart Home Research Group

The Smart Home Research Group was established by CONTEXT to promote research that will help vendors and retailers track the embryonic Smart Homes market. The members include three leading Smart Home Associations from the UK, Germany and France, as well as retailers and industrial companies.

The group aims to:

  • Create an exchange between leading industry players
  • Define the market and successful market offerings
  • Identify different channels to market (retail, etail, telcos)
  • Educate the consumer

Channel Research Group

CONTEXT runs the world's largest online reseller survey, drawing insight into the behaviour, opinions and attitudes of a sample of over 5,000 resellers each year. CONTEXT formed the Channel Research Group - which brings together thought leaders representing vendors, distributors, and resellers - to enhance the industry relevance of questions put to resellers in the survey, and enrich conclusions drawn from the data.

This will include both long-term total market forecasts at the sell-in level and short- to medium-term predictions for distribution sell-through and reseller sell-out.
