Research began by seeking out the information necessary in identifying the Smart Home industry's market segments. Databases containing market reports and industry-based market forecasts and statistics, hosted by sites such as Statista, provided research with invaluable information and data. Through these databases, research was successful in providing the segmentation of the Smart Home industry.

The following calculations were made:

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

 1,633,000,000 x 100 / 27,747,000,000 = 5.88%

COMFORT & LIGHTING

 2,068,000,000 x 100 / 27,747,000,000 = 7.45%

HOME ENTERTAINMENT

 4,346,000,000 x 100 / 27,747,000,000 = 15.6%

CONTROL & CONNECTIVITY

 6,515,000,000 x 100 / 27,747,000,000 = 23.48%

SECURITY

 6,472,000,000 x 100 / 27,747,000,000 = 23.33%

SMART APPLIANCES

 6,712,000,000 x 100 / 27,747,000,000 = 24.19%

Smart Home Market Growth

McKinsey estimates the revenue growth rate of the United States smart home market to be 17%.

FINDINGS

  • According to McKinsey, the number of smart homes in the United States grew at 31% CAGR in the period 2015-2017. However, the corresponding growth in sales was just 17%.
  • The revenue breakup for 2017: 42% was recurring revenue; 15% came from replacement devices; 23% can be attributed to new devices, and 37% of the revenue came from new household connections.
  • According to a report published by Businesscoot, the automation market in the United States grew at 10.5% in the period 2011 to 2017.
  • The Boston Consulting Group expects the United States smart-home devices market to grow at 42% between 2017 and 2022.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • The IDC had forecasted the worldwide smart home devices shipments to grow by 31% in 2018.
  • According to Strategy Analytics' forecast in 2014, the smart homes household penetration in the United States would grow from 13% in 2013 to 38% in 2019.
  • Kagan, S&P Global Market Intelligence's media research group, estimated that there were 15 million connected homes in the US in 2016. This equates to 12.5% of all US households in 2016; Kagan expects the household penetration to grow to 28% by 2021.

RESEARCH SUMMARY

The growth rate forecasted by McKinsey is for a shorter and more recent period (17% in 2015-2017) as compared to the Businesscoot's forecast (10.5% in 2011-2017). Also, as McKinsey is a top-ranking research firm, we believe it is the more accurate estimate.

RESEARCH STRATEGY

In order to define the top market leaders in smart home technology, we first searched for any information on the smart home industry and its classifications. After this, we searched for gadgets with the highest demand in every classification. To do this, we looked through press releases, news articles, and market analyses from credible publications and experts in the field. Using this strategy, we were able to determine the names of multiple companies, define an overview of their product offerings, provide market share, and establish the revenues for all but Amazon Echo. When searching for Amazon Echo's revenue, we used the following strategies:


Strategy #1

First, we searched through tech, smart home, smart speaker, and business websites such as Voicebot.ai, Forbes, or PCMag. We searched there because these websites will provide information on the leader of smart speakers in the United States. Amazon's revenue in the first quarter of 2019 was $59.7 billion with its future revenue depending on smart home sales.


Strategy #2

Next, we searched through Amazon official websites and its annual revenue on About Amazon. Oftentimes, an official website will provide data on Amazon annual revenue and probably on smart home revenue either. The latest annual report was from 2018. However, we did not locate the revenue on Amazon Echo. Instead, we found this company's annual revenue for that year was $232.887B and there was no explanation further


Strategy #3

Finally, we looked for the answer in smart speaker market size report websites such as MarketsandMarkets. While we were able to find a report with insight on Amazon Echo's revenue, this data is behind a paywall. We are unable to find Amazon Echo market size because the revenue for Amazon isn't available by division. We assume this information is not available because, as a private company, Amazon does not report its revenue breakdowns by division for competitive reasons.
