Smart & Connected Thermostats in the US
US demand for smart and connected thermostats is forecast to increase 18% per year through 2022, when demand is expected to transition to become less comprised of initial product purchases and more replacement-oriented. Driving gains will be the immediate cost- and energy-saving benefits of smart and connected thermostats compared to traditional low-tech types, which will appeal to a broader range of consumers, as well as the growing ubiquity of smart home devices overall.
This report covers US demand for smart and connected thermostats sold via consumer channels to residences and small businesses, along with profiles of key product introductions and industry leaders, as well as discussion of the technological outlook for the next generation of products.
Data are given in dollar value at the manufacturer level and in unit terms, as well as in terms of the number of US households that contain smart and/or connected thermostats.
The study also compares total US HVAC thermostat demand with that of smart and connected thermostats and provides a comprehensive overview of the overall smart home/IoT market.
