Over 80% Of Smartphone Users Who Own A Smart Home Device Have Downloaded Mobile Apps

Parks Associates research shows that 80% of U.S. smartphone and tablet users who own at least one smart home device have downloaded mobile apps for these devices.

"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. Device manufacturers and software developers can explore innovative collaborations to bring these personalized use cases to life."
