The global smart thermostat market is
expected to reach USD 2.21 billion by 2022, according to a new study by Grand
View Research, Inc. These devices allow users to remotely manage their heating
and air conditioning systems using wireless connectivity and mobile apps. They
form an important part of smart homes and have gained immense demand from
residences in developed regions such as North America and Europe.
The smart thermostat market is expected to witness growth since
they display energy consumption in real-time and are able to adjust itself
based on ambient conditions automatically. They can connect to the internet and
offer analytics and performance measurement tools through web portals. Such
devices are packed with technologies such as ZigBee or Wi-Fi and form a part of
the home automation ecosystem.
Energy and utility retailers also play a vital role in bringing
devices into households. May utilities are offering these products as a part of
their home energy management schemes. Involvement of energy retailers heightens
the potential for smart thermostat industry growth. At the same time,
proliferation of mobile phones and its convergence with thermostats is makes
these products much more attractive for end-users.
Growing penetration of smartphones, rising energy costs, need
for effective energy management solutions and favorable regulatory scenario are
expected to propel growth over the coming years. However, high cost of devices
and data security concerns may restrain the smart thermostat market. Increased
penetration of Near Field Communication (NFC) and ZigBee home automation
devices is expected to augment demand.
