The Global Market for Big Data Technologies and Services is Projected to Reach $60 Billion by 2022

The global market for smart lock is projected to reach US$3.2 billion by 2025 driven by the growing proliferation of smart homes and the ensuing need for smart security solutions. Smart homes worldwide are becoming increasingly common supported by rapid penetration of home automation and smart home technologies; widespread launch and use of myriad types of connected devices; ubiquitous access to high-speed internet as a result of falling tariff rates; robust penetration of smartphones; development of smart microprocessors and connected devices; declining costs and ubiquity of sensors; innovations in embedded system design, and mostly importantly falling cost of smart home applications and products. Proliferation of smartphones especially provides the perfect platform for smart homes and home automation to take flight. Smartphones owned by homeowners coupled with the continuous development of apps that support smart home control and networking, are the primary touchpoints that make the technology readily available and accessible by the population. Smartphones and apps have the potential to convert any existing home into a smart home. All of these factors are playing key roles in bringing consumer internet of things (CIoT) closer to commercialization.  Widespread integration of sensors and intelligent sensing capabilities in virtually every home appliance ranging from lightbulbs, fans, lighting controls, TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, kitchen appliances, point of care (POC) home medical equipment, home audio visual entertainment systems to water heaters, has made smart homes more easily deployable and implementable. In the United States alone, smart homes as a percentage of total households are poised to grow from 25% in 2019 to over 38% by 2023. Read More…
