The 360 View Update: Consumer Demand for Connected Major Appliances by Parks Associates found that fewer than 5% of U.S. households currently own a smart appliance and less than a quarter (18%) of consumers plan to buy one within the next year.
Smart appliances include refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers and washing and drying machines that can be remotely controlled and monitored through an internet connection.
High cost and availability are among the factors affecting adoption. Brands need to more clearly address consumer pain-points in order to grow the industry, according to Parks Associates analyst Eddie Accomando.
