Home Automation and Security

Cellular Technologies Intersect with ZigBee, Z-Wave, HomePlug, LonWorks, and EnOcean

This study analyzes the market for home automation and home security technologies and examines how these two markets are increasingly intersecting with the advent of home monitoring and managed home automation services. Also central to the analysis is an examination of trends in the use of cellular wireless technologies to provide backhaul communications links between security alarm panels and central monitoring stations. The study encompasses the global market for these technologies, although most emphasis is placed on the North American and European regions, which comprise the vast majority of the market for both home automation and home security and are likely to continue to do so for the remainder of the forecast period.

In addition to a qualitative analysis of the market segments, technologies, and players that comprise the home automation and wireless home security markets, a highly segmented 6-year forecast for the period from 2008 through 2014 is provided in an accompanying Excel data package. Home automation system shipments and revenue are forecast by region and by major market segment. Wireless security module shipments and connections, along with accompanying shipment and service revenues, are forecast by region and air interface standard. Finally, the study presents and analyzes survey results from a US-based consumer panel regarding knowledge of and attitudes to home automation technology.
