DALLAS, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Parks Associates' Smart
Home Dashboard, quarterly consumer research featuring surveys
of 8,000 and 10,000 US internet households, finds 45% of US
internet households have at least one smart home device and 18%
have six or more smart home devices. The research firm will feature
its latest consumer and industry research on the smart home,
security, energy, access control, monitoring, and broadband markets
at the 28th annual CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected
Home Conference, featuring keynote speakers from Vivint, Imperial
Capital, EPB, Verizon, GVTC, RapidSOS, and Alarm.com.
"Heading into 2024, the profile of the smart home adopter looks
different than in the earlier years of the market," said
Jennifer Kent, VP Research, Parks
Associates. "Mainstream households with 1-5 devices now outnumber
the smart home-enthusiast households with 6+ devices. This shift in
the average smart home consumer requires companies to adjust the
marketing, sales, and support strategies for their products, to
better align with the needs and demands of this middle market."
CONNECTIONS™ features a pre-show research
workshop featuring a special Speed Networking event,
plus sessions featuring Parks Associates' research data and
insights and interactive discussions with industry players:
- State of The Connected Home
- Building Profitable Business Models
- Role of Energy in the Connected Home
- Home Security: Market Expansion
- Broadband and Value-Added Services
- Fireside Chat: Consumer Demand for Connectivity and
Services
- The Future of Connected Homes and the Expanding Markets
"A wide variety of players compete in the smart home," Kent
said. "Companies are building out their ecosystems to maximize
their sales potential and provide a better, more integrated
experience to end users. This makes the platform that much more
important as a center point for control of the connected home."
