Home Automation and Control

Wireless Growing as Automation and Security Intersect

This Research Report analyzes the market for home automation and home security technologies and how these two markets are increasingly intersecting with the advent of home monitoring and managed home automation services. Also central to the analysis in this report is an examination of the trends in the use of cellular wireless technologies to provide backhaul communications links between security alarm panels and central monitoring stations. The analysis is intended to encompass 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 six-year forecast for the period from 2009 through 2015 is provided in an accompanying Excel data package. Home automation system shipments and revenue are forecasted by region and major market segments. Wireless security module shipments and connections, along with accompanying shipment revenue and service revenue, are forecast by region and air interface standard. Finally, survey results regarding knowledge of and attitudes about home automation technology from a US-based consumer panel are presented.
