"The growing interest in the smart home space has prompted a large number of players to enter the smart home ecosystem with their own devices, platforms, and solutions," said Harry Wang, senior research director, Parks Associates. "This rapid expansion has resulted in a highly fragmented marketplace, and for companies to emerge successfully from the crowd, they will need to provide a seamless consumer experience that interconnects with all other functions of the connected home."
