Smart home is the most significant consumer-driven technology opportunity of the IoT revolution. Whilst automated homes have been around for decades, it is only the emergence of plug-and-play products, linked to smartphones and voice control, that has made it a mass-market technology rather than an exclusive preserve of the well-off.
In 2017, smart home sales increased by 281%, making it the fastest-growing category in the CONTEXT distribution panel. Sell-out to end customers followed a similar pattern, largely driven by the launch of Google Home and the popularity of the Amazon Echo.
CONTEXT tracks the development of the category through its sales panel and annual consumer-attitude surveys.
CONTEXT has also participated in the creation of the European Smart Association bringing together SH&BA (UK), FFD (France) and SHD (Germany).
