The market for smart home devices will grow steadily in the coming years
In 2020, 801.5 million smart home devices were shipped. This is 4.5% more than in 2019. Analysts estimate that shipments will reach 1.428 billion units in 2025. Average annual growth from 2020 to 2025 is expected to be 12.2%.
The largest segment will remain the Video Entertainment segment, which includes smart TVs, players and other network-connected video devices. However, during the period covered by the forecast, its size will decrease from 37.0% to 27.6%, as the growth of supplies in this segment will lag behind the growth of the market as a whole, amounting to only 5.8% per year.
The segment of home video surveillance and security systems over the same period will grow 20.5% to 21.2%, and the segment of smart speakers will decline from 16.3% to 14.4%. The share of devices in all other categories will increase from 26.2% to 36.9%. This means that the equipment of a smart home will become more and more diverse over the years.
