Summary

Study Background

Home automation technology has been around for some time but has only recently begun to enter the mainstream. Reasons for home automation's growing popularity include developments on the demand side as well as the supply side.

on the demand side, rising incomes and standards of living have combined with increased concerns about energy and security to increase the attractiveness of technologies that promise to enhance the owner's quality of life, while making the most efficient use of energy (especially electricity) and providing a sense of security. Construction of new homes was booming, at least until the recent credit crisis, and many homebuyers were younger, technologically savvy people with an affinity for the latest electronic devices.

on the supply side, the declining cost and complexity of new home automation products is helping to attract new buyers. until a few years ago, the cost of quality home automation components was prohibitive for all but the enthusiast market, but prices are dropping.

in fact, the cost of installation labor and the cost of educating electricians in this field are becoming the most inhibiting factors. Fortunately, other developments are helping to reduce the difficulty and cost of installation. These developments include the growing use of standards-based wireless technologies that allow home automaton devices to integrate seamlessly and minimize the need for special wiring to connect them.

Goals and Objectives

The overall goal of this report is to identify and prioritize the business opportunities for providers of home automation technologies that will arise over the next 5 years as products utilizing these technologies increase their market penetration. in support of this goal, specific objectives of the report include:

Identifying the home automation technologies with the greatest commercial potential over the next 5 years (2009 to 2014);
Estimating the market for these technologies in 2007 to 2008
Analyzing the technical, economic and other demand drivers for these products, and other prerequisites of success in these markets
Projecting the potential U.S. markets for these technologies through 2014.

Intended Audience

The report is intended especially for providers of home automation technologies and products based on these technologies. Although the report is structured around specific technologies, it is largely non-technical in nature. That is, it is concerned less with theory and jargon than with what works, how much of the latter the market is likely to purchase, and at what price.

as such, the report's main audience is executive management, marketing and financial analysts. IT is not written specifically for scientists and technologists, although its findings concerned the market for their work, including the availability of government and corporate research funding for different technologies and applications should interest them as well.

Government agencies, environmental and public policy interest groups should also find the report interesting, particularly its analysis of home automation technologies that conserve energy.

Scope of Report

The study covers the major segments of the home automation market, including:

Lighting controls
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls
Energy management controls
Entertainment controls
Security controls
Integrated (multi-function) controls

The study addresses the major enabling technologies for the various types of home automation products, such as:

Controllers
User interface devices
Sensors
Actuators and output devices (e.g., dimmers, automated window coverings, dampers, etc.)
Wiring and networking devices

The Study Format Includes The following Major Elements:

Executive summary
Definitions
Home automation functions
Enabling technologies
Market environment (economic conditions, consumer attitudes)
Current (2007 to 2008) and projected market for home automation technologies and products through 2014
